National Research Council claims US agencies and political leaders not getting the right information or guidance

America is woefully unprepared for climate change, and the government agencies charged with delivering the latest science to decision makers are not up to the task, a new report said today.

The National Research Council, a policy advice centre that is part of the US National Academy of Sciences, said that government agencies and political leaders, concerned more than ever about climate change, were not getting the information or the guidance they needed.

"Many decision makers are experiencing or anticipating a new climate regime and are asking questions about climate change and potential responses to it that federal agencies are unprepared to answer," the council said in its report, Restructuring Federal Climate Research to Meet the Challenges of Climate Change.

1. That comes as no surprise. For one thing the *ss administration censored

anything they did not like. We do have a good internet system of info though and the leaders need to do some self education and also begin to listen to their voters. Read books.
