Obama administration to set up new agency to study, monitor climate change

The Obama administration on Monday proposed 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, 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.

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.

OFFS, the "scientific" data relied upon for this hysteria is being proven to be a bunch of BS, so Lord Zero wants a government agency set up to falsify data to prove that climate change is real.  :banghead:

ABC news hasn't read the memo yet.........they are still regurgitating the same mantra they did four years ago......

Obama is just attempting to add a few "green" jobs that he can gloat over........

A big bureaucracy in DC with six smaller bureaucracies scattered around the country.

How many millions are going to be blown in salaries, office leasing, infrastructure?

God, the idiocy of this administration knows no bounds.  :censored:

Congress is too busy spending trillions to worry too much about spending a few million on leased offices and another shitload of SES-V's.

But this isn't a czar - it's yet another government agency that falls in the cabinet.

Endless reports that aren't read, time wasted, propaganda spewed.

This is our government at work.   :censored:  asshats.
