NOAA Climate Services Site

 

Very good news yesterday that NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) is proposing to create a Climate Service division to bring together in one place the latest information about climate change.  Lots of applause for the initiative, from <a href=”http://www.noaa.gov/climateresources/testimonial.html”>Duke Power, to the US Navy to NRDC</a>.

The public face of the Climate Services will be a new website, up in <a href=”http://www.climate.gov/ “>a prototype, here.</a>  NOAA has long been a great place to go to understand weather and oceanic information.  If I were of a career choosing age I’d be scrambling to work at the Climate Services.

Meanwhile, in Redding, California, <a href=”http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2010/02/08/state/n193037S09.DTL”>Sarah Know-Nothing has declared</a> climate change science “a bunch of snake oil.”
