From the "Irony's a bitch" department...

With three feet of snow already on the ground in the Washington DC area and up to two more coming, the weather closed the federal government offices today and put the kibosh on the Obama Administration's latest effort to make us all modify our behavior (and pay more taxes) in the name of Global Warming.

As D.C. continued to dig out from Snowmageddon and is keeping an eye on another storm system, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration was busy making a climate change announcement.

NOAA, 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.

Turns out the release was planned prepared ahead of the snowstorm, which shut federal agencies today and forced its senders to hold a press conference by telephone instead of at the National Press Club.

It’s not the first time inclement weather has put a chill on official efforts to tackle climate change. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had to leave the Copenhagen summit early in December to get back to D.C. before the blizzard known as Snowpocalypse grounded all flights.

Ain't that great? A new federal government office designed, staffed and funded just to spew propaganda about our impact on the planet. I'm sure this is exactly what our founding fathers had in mind when they wrote that Tenth Amendment to our Constitution...

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Nope...not seeing anything in the rest of that document about taxing us all to pay for another office that just uses junk science to justify taxing and restricting the people even more.

If Washington, Jefferson, Madison and the rest of our nation's architects ever come back, they are so going to kick Obama's ass.
