Obama admistration unveils new global warming tracking service during worst blizzard in decades

There are times you just know that God has a sense of humor. Like when the Obama administration debuts its new NOAA global warming track service during the worst blizzard in decades.

CleanSkies.com reveals the chilly details:

Commerce Secretary Gary Locke has proposed the creation of an NOAA Climate Service, an office of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration that would unify all the agency’s climate science and data.

Locke said the office would integrate the agency’s climate science and services and make them more accessible.

“By providing critical planning information that our businesses and our communities need, NOAA Climate Service will help tackle head-on the challenges of mitigating and adapting to climate change,” said Locke. “In the process, we’ll discover new technologies, build new businesses and create new jobs.”

The office would coordinate data collected by NOAA researchers throughout the world, including predictions about both short- and long-term global changes and information on how U.S. resources can best be used to adapt to climate change and produce renewable energy.

Unfortunately, very few reporters were able to attend Locke’s press conference because two feet of snow had not yet been cleared from the roads around Washington, DC.
