[cseb national] Climate change profession

 From ECOCANADA Newsletter: 

As weather continues to make headlines around the world, the importance of
accurate, timely meteorological information grows in importance. While most
Canadians link meteorological expertise with traditional sectors such as
agriculture, meteorology also impacts transportation, construction, and
tourism. Accurate and precise forecasts offer tremendous potential cost
savings to the Canadian economy.

The 2005 Changing Climate: Canadian Meteorological Employment Report, just
released by ECO Canada, is intended to provide a greater understanding of
the Canadian meteorological sector by: 

*       Outlining common activities of meteorological employment 

*       Documenting the existing and forecasted labour market conditions 

*       Offering recommendations on steps that should be taken to support
this important sector

Produced at the request of the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic
Society (CMOS) Private Sector Committee, the report reveals that there are
critical obstacles to growth of the sector that need to be addressed to
ensure that it can meet its full economic and employment potential.
