Califonia makes climate data available to public

Here's something really neat for anyone who is interested in climate change as a curiosity or for hardcore research.

"Extensive climate change research being conducted at California universities and research centers is now openly available through a public website developed at the University of California, Berkeley. The announcement was made today (Tuesday, June 7) by the California Energy Commission (CEC) and the California Natural Resources Agency, the sponsoring state agencies. The Cal-Adapt website displays projected temperature changes in area of California, including Lake Tahoe. The website, Cal-Adapt.org, went live today and has a variety of features tailored for different types of users, including members of the general public concerned about their neighborhood or region; decision-makers, such as city planners and resource managers; and experts who want to examine data."

I just realized how excited I am about this. Man, I really am a dweeb.
