WASHINGTON – The Obama administration is forming a new agency to study and report on the changing climate.
Also known as global warming, climate change has drawn widespread concern in recent years as temperatures around the world rise, threatening to harm crops, spread disease, increase sea levels, change storm and drought patterns and cause polar melting.
Commerce Secretary Gary Locke and Jane Lubchenco, head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, planned to announce Monday that NOAA will set up the new Climate Service to operate in tandem with NOAA's National Weather Service and National Ocean Service.
NOAA recently reported that the decade of 2000-2009 was the warmest on record worldwide; the previous warmest decade was the 1990s. Most atmospheric scientists believe that warming is largely due to human actions, adding gases to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas.

The beat .. uhh .. lie goes on.
How about a worthwhile agency devoted to routing out government waste, instead?
I hope the next adult we get in there can dismantle it.

Most??
Goofball epidemic might be a better name for what we are witnessing.
Ah yes, fund another not needed effort trough the use of OUR $$$$$
the new global warming agency will meet next week, when the city recovers for the greatest blizzard in recent times, and another blizzard forecast in the next 48 hours
trough = through
What about agencies to study Leprechauns, Atlas, Tooth fairies, Unicorns, and Dragons. We need agencies for all the myths. /s
It isn’t going away easily. Too much money invested in the carbon trading scams, too much money going to companies like GE.
headquartered in Washington and will have six regional directors across the country.
a new NOAA climate portal on the Internet to collect a vast array of climatic data from NOAA and other sources.

I wonder if they will use data from CRU?
It’s an offensive outrage that even MORE of our tax dollars are going to be wasted on this bullcrap in a time of trillion dollar plus deficits.
“Most”
Of course, those are also the guys who are “puzzled” by the rapid rise in temperatures on Pluto

Too much money invested in the carbon trading scams..
Yup
Potential trillion dollar markets tend to draw a lot of flies and vermin.
I also hope some of the politicians are getting a taste of what America will be like without energy.
I started to say that it must be Barry’s plan to get us all a Government job.... but then I realized that I’m already working about 1/2 the year for Uncle Sam before I get to keep some of my own damn money.
“Most” Americans believe in those creatures, you know.
Of course, they are the Americans who are under age 6
If we could get cap and trade legislation for bull sh**, the Democrats would have to pay the republicans every time they opened their mouths.
No... there’s Czar’s for that!
Goody, goody. This should make November one of the warmest months on record for conservatives...
Swell! Now we’ve got a ring-around-the-rosy with EPA, NASA and NOAA.
