EPA doles out $17 million to study climate change
And the money for climate change just keeps on coming out of the taxpayers pockets.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday announced the recipients of more than $17 million in federal grant money to be used to study the impacts of climate change.
The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign was awarded grant money for three projects while a researcher at St. Louis University got $246,149 in grant money to study climate modeling.
One of the more interesting Illinois research projects involved looking at the protecting drinking water by reducing the uncertainties connected to carbon sequestration in certain aquifers. That project received $897,225.
EPA gave out grants for research in four areas: climate change and air quality; climate change and water quality; climate change and allergies and climate change in carbon sequestration.

It’s a good thing President Obama has our budget under control so we can afford these things.
EPA is a corrupt arm of the Government and its views and pronouncements have no connection to the real world.EPA and FDA and similar money consuming sham organisations MUST be declared defunct and all funding withdrawn from them so they can die a natural death.
“protecting drinking water by reducing the uncertainties connected to carbon sequestration in certain aquifers… received $897,225″
Doesn’t drinking water + CO2 = Schweppes Club Soda?
They don’t need any money…’the science is settled’…isn’t it?
The money is not intended for Pure research,it is to Cloud the water of climate “change”
Illinois, huh? Wasn’t a certain messiah a present-voting senator from Illinois? But I digress. Look what he’s doing with Porkulus money.
