NOACA and Climate Change
By Walter “Skip” Claypool of Geauga County
This message is for John Husted and Bernie Moreno. Please pass this
message on to them or at least the highlights. The communications is
intended to raise awareness about an MPO (NOACA) and its climate change
initiative.
At the outset I will say MPO’s (Metropolitan Planning Organizations) are
unconstitutional and NOT necessary. I can easily defend both claims.
NOACA (an NE Ohio MPO) is currently violating President Trump’s DEI
Executive Order. It is frustrating that MPO’s and NOACA in particular can
violate the law and common sense without penalty and without our elected
officials taking action.
That said, the following is regarding NOACA’s Climate Change Plan. This is
a mere teaser in respect of the Senator’s and Senator’s staff time. There
is a huge amount of information I can provide. I am writing this in the
hopes that our Ohio Senator’s will seek appropriate action to correct the
behaviors I will note below. I am going to try to be brief but can provide
a lot of evidence and support for my claims.
I am on the NOACA board, thanks to Ralph Spidalieri (Geauga County Commissioner). For the last few years NOACA has been promoting a Climate Change Plan Agenda, based on bogus data and in violation of commonsense and science. Now with the Trump administration NOACA is doing these things in opposition to President Trump’s directives. In NOACA’s recent policy meeting a motion was made and passed to send the Climate Change Plan to the NOACA board for final approval in September.
The planning process has been funded by a few sources including the federal EPA. Most recently funding is via the Inflation Reduction Act, which passed under Biden (the funding is included in the plan documentation being provided). Current Trump and EPA policies are in direct opposition to this planning effort. I am providing pieces of the plan that shows the kind of nonsense that justifies clawing back funding and ending this Climate Hoax Plan. My comments will be in red going
forward. I would suggest forwarding this information to the Director of
the EPA and the DOT to seek defunding and decertification of NOACA.
The following is a link to the current planning materials: Download

Contact me if there are any questions regarding specifics in the
documentation.
The plan is built on goofy logic. For example, it was stated that the
benefits of this plan will “Avoid premature deaths”, “heart attacks”,
“Parkinson disease”, etc? Think about it; heart attacks are a function of
genetics, lifestyle, and diet. NOACA science thinks fixing climate will
avoide “heart attacks”. There is absolutely no proof or correlation only
claims. This is one of many examples of goofy data and logic.
The Biden EPA provided the following. This content is in the NOACA plan.
I hope and pray the Trump EPA does not and will not support this nonsense
and will reach out via the Ohio EPA to end this plan. This is waste and I
would like to file a waste, fraud and abuse complaint. The following is an
excerpt from the plan.
DEI is foundational to the climate action plan even though it is a violation
of the Trump EO. NOACA is rebranding DEI into LDAC (Low income and
Disadvantaged Commuinities) to avoid the DEI lable. They are doing the
same process using different words. The term “equity” is contained
throughout the plan, with makes it directly in violation of Trump’s DEI EO,
therein; making the plan subject to defunding and decertification. The
following extracted is from the plan.
The plan is built on the framework of a Marxist organization (ICLEI) based
on Bonn Germany. ICLEI is a result of a United Nations Agenda 21 and 2030
plans. President Trump has made many comments opposed to the ICLEI
concepts. NOACA us using an ICLEI model as a core element. Why would we
in the U.S. use a United Nations Marxist plan to guide us?
Carbon Capture and removal is another concept that is being promoted in the
plan. This is a wacko idea intended to make a number of companies rich on
taxpayer dollars. And the worse part of this plan is that they are
proposing a pipeline into Geauga and/or Jefferson Counties.
These are but a few of the examples of kinds of content that is the heart of
the plan, which should be defunded and ended. I would ask that our
legislators take action today. Reach out to the Trump Administration and
the many departments to raise awarenesss and to create directives that end
the funding for these programs. Please consider putting severe constraints
on MPO’s generally and NOACA in particular. Or end the MPO federal program
altogether. It would result in much more effective infrastructure implementation.
CITIZENS CAN TAKE ACTION NOW
* Please pass the word and please get with your commissioners and
county representatives and demand they NOT support this.
* Call Bernie Moreno and John Husted and ask them to ask the EPA and
DOT to claw back the funding and to end this Climate HOAX agenda.
* Contact your state and federal representatives and tell them we must
put chains on NOACA to force them to stay in their lane.
* Provide feedback on the plan. We have until the end of August to
provide public input. Get everyone you know to tell NOACA we will not
