DC Snow Postpones NOAA Climate Change News
The Wall Street Journal has this bit of information about your tax dollars at work:
NOAA [National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration], part of the Department of Commerce, is going to be providing information to individuals and decision-makers through a new NOAA Climate Service office. “More and more, Americans are witnessing the impacts of climate change in their own backyards, including sea-level rise, longer growing seasons, changes in river flows, increases in heavy downpours, earlier snowmelt and extended ice-free seasons in our waters. People are searching for relevant and timely information about these changes to inform decision-making about virtually all aspects of their lives,” the release says.Earlier snowmelt? That would be nice.
Indeed, that would be nice. Yet the latest DC forecast that calls for another 10 to 20 inches of snow as New York prepares for another foot. And Philadelphia is expecting this to be the “snowiest winter on record“.
