<p>Interesting article.<em></em> My first question is &#8211; why is JPL employing a &#8220;climate change communicator?&#8221; Funding, perhaps?</p>
<p>But beyond that, Begley is dealing with information which he doesn&#8217;t understand. <a href="http://weather.unisys.com/surface/sst_anom.html">Ocean temperatures are below normal</a>, sea level has been increasing for 15,000 years, and <a href="http://arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/cryosphere/IMAGES/global.daily.ice.area.withtrend.jpg">polar ice is about normal</a>.</p>
<p>If JPL is going to employ  a &#8220;climate change communicator&#8221; they should probably communicate accurate, unbiased information.</p>
