30 Inches of Snow in Washington Therefore We Need a New Agency

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.

    About time DC gets whats coming to it, a little pay back for the total snow job they have pulled on America.

    that is the only agency needed, so we can finally move toward discovering their chemical imbalance and push for a cure or (until then) whether or not they should just be kept House bound for their own (and our) protection.

    If the Dinosaurs had only funded a Space Guard-ish type of Federal Agency that works in tandem with some “Aeronautics and Space” Agency …or,

    If the Wooly Mammoths and Sabertooths had only funded a “Climate Service” type of Federal Agency that worked in tandem with another “Oceanic and Atmospheric” Agency…

    …THEY WOULD STILL BE DEAD!!!

    Please, find someone else’s money to throw at this nonsense.

    Hey, Obama! I heard UBL believes in your Climate Change crap – and he is rich to boot. Go fleece, er, ask him and leave us alone!

    wait… never mind… wrong Snow ;-) :P

    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.

    Well, other than new Government Jobs!

  • DefendUSA

    WTF!! Why the hell do we need another freaking money pit? It appears the dems are not getting it…and now there is a new seat up for grabs in PA…

  • tankertodd

    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!

    Locke is not an anti-business ideologue. It would be fun to make him the point man on business and the relationship to the enviroment. He holds Pro-American views that would be an embarrassment to the present administration.

    That’s not climate change, you weed-sucking morons. That’s WINTER.

  • http://andrightlyso.com/ civil_truth

    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.

    who used to tell us how wrong we were to doubt climate “science”?

    Funny, they are no where to be seen since all the revelations about that infamous piece of toilet paper, the IPCC report.

    Couldn’t stand the heat.

    30 inches. They call that “flurries” in the U.P. of Michigan.

  • skorrent1

    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

    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.

  • rivahmitch

    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;-)

  • blooch

    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.”

    Reminds me of Stephen Kings “Storm of the Century”, evil brought on their storm.

    Depends if you are legal, the U.S. government has every right to keep illegals out.

    Despite Eric talking about record rain in Macon, I’d rather be back in my old hometown with lots of rain right now than stuck here (literally) just outside the DC beltway in Northern Virginia with 30 inches of snow on the ground, 24 inches of which are still clogging my as yet unsnowplowed residential street, and with at least a foot more predicted to be on the way within the next two days.

    Forget climate focus on energy ! Run a pipeline into the capitol and harness the vast amounts of truly natural gas produced by the US Congress daily.

  • mercurymountain

    That such a thing would be created, regardless of its merit or legitimacy, during a budget crisis so severe that all discretionary spending is now deficit spending, just serves to prove that the U.S. goverment is certifiably insane.

    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?
