The press conference was to be held at the National Press Club, but the persistent snowstorm expected to dump at least another foot of snow, is now going to be held by telephone,

We thought we’d leave you with something that would make you skeptics feel better about the new Climate Service office. It’s obvious with this excerpt from the press release, that they will offer pure, unbiased science-based information:

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.

And the temperature image on the right that we grabbed from climate.gov should give you comfort that they do not believe the science is settled. Especially when you read the caption that goes with it: Has global warming stopped? That’s what some climate skeptics claim, based on global temperatures recorded since 1998. But, scientists say, not setting a new record high temperature each year doesn’t mean the globe is cooling.

We don’t believe in reincarnation, but it sure sounds like a rebirth of the now dead IPCC.
