Consider it as a shot across the bow. Republicans on the US House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology managed to include language in last month’s agreement for fiscal 2011 that stops the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) from spending on a new National Climate Service. The temporary restriction has little immediate impact, given that NOAA proposed how to create the service in its 2012 budget request, which is currently up for debate.

But the administration of President Barack Obama must now re-engage with lawmakers and make its case for the service while ensuring that the proposal is not sunk by unrelated partisan battles. The idea is simple and worthwhile. NOAA wants to collect various climate research and reporting activities under a single umbrella which it says will make the government machine operate more efficiently and improve the quality of data released to the public everything from the results of satellite monitoring and climate models to regional forecasts of drought and floods. Months before the spate of storms in April hammered midwestern and southern states for example N OAA warned of a higher likelihood of flooding and extreme weather associated with a La Nina circulation in the Pacific Ocean. House science chairman Ralph Hall Republican Texas has raised concerns about moving forward without a thorough review on Capitol Hill but a Congress-commissioned external review by the National Academy of Public Administration endorsed the reorganization in September 2010. And Congress will weigh in throughout the budget process. Hall s claims that the creation of a
