Worse than Double's bunch - by a long shot

The head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recently floated removing climate change from the agency’s mission.

Rear Adm. Timothy Gallaudet gave the idea in a presentation to a summit organized by the Commerce Department, NOAA’s parent agency.

Why am I not surprised?

In the presentation, revealed by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), Gallaudet suggested also adding “reducing the seafood trade deficit” to NOAA’s mission, as part of an effort to substantially boost the commercial fishing industry.

So the scientific agency charged with understanding and dealing with oceans - and therefore climate - doesn't need to concern itself with climate change, but with trade and commerce? Sure, that makes perfect sense.  Why is NOAA under the Commerce Department anyway?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
