These people never stop generating the laughs.
There are thirty inches of snow in Washington, DC. Here in Macon, Georgia, an area global warming scientists have long predicted would become a desert, we are 24 inches into a rain surplus in the past 365 calendar days.
You know what this all means right? We need a new federal agency to “study and report on the changing climate.”
Commerce Secretary Gary Locke and Jane Lubchenco, head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, announced NOAA will set up the new Climate Service to operate in tandem with NOAA’s National Weather Service and National Ocean Service.
“Whether we like it or not, climate change represents a real threat,” Locke said Monday at a news conference.
Lubchenco added, “Climate change is real, it’s happening now.” She said climate information is vital to the wind power industry, coastal community planning, fishermen and fishery managers, farmers and public health officials.
Please tell me, when is the climate not changing? As we orbit the sun orbiting the center of the Milky Way Galaxy our climate will, as it has done since God first said “Let there be light”, continue to change.
There is nothing new under the sun. This is just the 21st century equivalent of the 5000 year old sun worshipping religions.

JLenardDetroit (Diary) Monday, February 8th at 3:33PM EST (link)wait… never mind… wrong Snow
If it could only Snow another 2 feet per day, every day, upon DC, for the next whatever – we might finally see Govt. operate slowly and deliberately, and preferably not at all, like it is supposed to.

What about studying the daily climate change
tankertodd (Diary) Monday, February 8th at 3:58PM EST (link)We have a severe climate issue all around us. Did you know that temperatures can fluctuate 30-40 degrees in the matter of 8-10 hours?!? And then in another 10 hours they go BACK. All in one day! And up north the freeze-thaw effect run havoc on structures and rock formations. This occurs on a daily basis. This is change we can’t believe in! We need a government program.
Also, this just in – the oceans of the World RISE and FALL. How can something so large escape the control of government? We need devices to manage this natural and predictable variance so we no longer have to deal with those pesky tide tables. Again, we need a government program to HELP!

Transparent effort to sell climate change under a veneer of science
civil truth (Diary) Monday, February 8th at 6:00PM EST (link)When you set up an agency like this, you know that the people employed will have to justify their jobs by publishing studies “proving” the grave perils of climate change that requires more research. And advocating laws and regulations in return for these research grants. Total self-serving between true-believer scientists (whose work will coincide nicely with their religion of climate change) and politiicans and radicals whose industries will profit.
What happened to the investigation of NOAA climate date, by the way? They’ve been accused of cooking their books, but any investigation seems to have been sandbagged. Instead it’s counterattack and shooting the messenger.
The greatest evil…is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice.

skorrent1 (Diary) Monday, February 8th at 11:04PM EST (link)Here in Asheville has been picked to head this new agency in Wash.
This is the outfit that has been charged with “cherry-picking” data to ensure that it shows warming. He has been bumped upstairs to:
1) get him out of the way so some low-life can take the fall when the house of cards comes down, or
2) enable him to use the power of his new position to continue the cover-up of this fraud, or
both.

dajeeps (Diary) Tuesday, February 9th at 5:53AM EST (link)With a vested personal interest in climate change. I’ve never known anyone who has a goal of making themselves irrelevant and that’s exactly what they’d do if they told the truth.
Why can’t we just admit that ‘climate change’ is a hoax and move along?? Just say ‘NO’ to big government.

"Climate Change" is Real and Constant
rivahmitch Tuesday, February 9th at 9:38AM EST (link)As stated above, the climate does change. It’s done so for billions of years and will continue to do so. I spent a over 30 years dealing with the “scientific community” and recall that most serious climatologists have said for a number of years that we are currently enjoying an “interglacial period”. This implies, to me anyway, that the weather will , at some point, be getting colder. OTOH, we should remember that Greenland was named for it’s appearance several hundred years ago when (we can logically surmise) it was significantly warmer. It will get colder and warmer in the future depending on a number of variables, of which human activity is only a minor one.
The idea of DC under a mile of ice strikes me as cool;-)
Don't worry...ain't gonna happen.
blooch Tuesday, February 9th at 11:14AM EST (link)CDC is on the case already. Turf wars and gridlock are our friends.
“CDC is uniquely poised to lead efforts to anticipate, prevent and respond to the broad range of effects on the health of Americans and the nation’s public health infrastructure. CDC’s expertise and programs in environmental health, infectious disease, and other fields form the foundation of public health efforts in preparedness for climate change.”

Empire Builders!
moleman Thursday, February 11th at 10:34AM EST (link)As a former NWS meteorologist, I can confirm that this is just another effort to build an empire and waste tax dollars. The NWS does a poor job at managing the current observation networks which are used to base the claims on climate change. They stopped practicing science a long time ago. The basic temperature observation network is not reliable. Check for yourself at http://www.surfacestations.org/ . Look at all the locations that are next to air conditioners, under trees, etc. The NWS has wasted millions on this poor network. They haven’t done a good job with their current programs. Why should they be rewarded with another big, new agency?
