Republican lawmakers chastised the head of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Friday, saying the agency’s obsession with global warming is undercutting space exploration programs.
“There are 13 other agencies involved in climate change research, but only one that is responsible for space exploration,” Texas Rep. Lamar Smith told NASA administrator Charles Bolden in a hearing.
“The administration continues to starve NASA’s exploration programs to fund a partisan environmental agenda,” Smith said. “NASA simply deserves better.”
Republicans are concerned that NASA is spending too much money on Earth sciences while cutting funding for space exploration. President Barack Obama’s 2016 budget requests asks for $18.53 billion, a $519 million increase from 2015, but lawmakers worry the president’s budget “underfunds” certain space exploration programs.

Stop chasing all dem space Muslims, too!
American to Congress-critter:
stop wasting money on entitlements. you’re spending $2.4 TRILLION every year on entitlements and ‘only’ $1.2 trillion on the things you’re supposed to spend it on.
$18.4 billion is NOTHING compared to that
0dungheap didn’t take office to improve America and her superpower status, he took office to DESTROY IT. NASA’s activities are PROOF of that. They are allocating their resources to anything they can so long as it doesn’t uniquely advance America’s standing in the world. Call it ‘SABOTAGE’.
If I were a younger man, I’d move! But to where?
Obama is ruining the USA. Barack obama is even getting his FCC to regulate the Internet with Soros regulations (not even China, Vietnam ,Venezuela are ruining their Internet like Obama is here)
I at least want to move to a country where i can find accurate information on the Internet which will not be possible in the USA after Obama gets finished with the Internet
I’ve heard Canada is doing well and has leaned right just a teence. Otherwise, I’m open to ideas too. Off the grid in Alaska or Montana maybe?
Why continue to spend money on settled science? Do we continue to spend millions on creating models to prove gravity?
These congressmen SHOULD tell them WHY they should stop wasting money on global warming research ... and it is because man’s piddly contribution of 0.00137% CO2 to the total atmosphere can NOT possibly be causing global warming- These congressmen should DEMAND that these scientists STOP LYING to people and stop attempting to put forth an IDEOLOGY that will financially cripple our nation for something that is a lie!
Start throwing the scientific FACTS that prove man is NOT, CAN NOT, be causing global warming- throw the facts In the faces of the global warming LIARS and start demanding they cease and desist trying to extort money from people based on this LIE
In other words, the congressmen NEED to grow a spine and start presenting the unpopular FACTS about the issue, and start getting the TRUTH out there even if the msm howl and complain- Start getting the TRUTH out there! Start DEMANDING that the global warming LIARS cease and desist their nonsense!
It’s sorta fine that these congressmen are telling nasa to stop- and it’s encouraging to see a little bit of backbone from them, but by NOT telling them the real reason WHY they should stop spending money on this- they are ceding that they agree that man is causing it, but that we shouldn’t be spending money on it- BUT, by standing up for the truth, even when it isn’t popular- By making the liars face the FACTS that man isn’t producing anywhere near enough CO2 to do ANYTHING to the environment, these congressmen can confront the REAL issue which is that these warming alarmists are basing this whole damn scam on a LIE! EXPOSE these LIARS NOW!!!
“stop wasting money on entitlements. you’re spending $2.4 TRILLION every year on entitlements”
Immediate repeal of all the ‘actions’ Clintoon took to “end welfare” in the 1990s’.
Social Security Disability rules returned to the 1991 version.
Welfare rules returned to the 1983 versions.
That should just about fix it. Of course the 10-15 million worthless turds that will be kicked off the government gravy train might start the second American civil war, but if it is coming sooner or later, might as well be now while we still have the guns and the people to use them!
Iceland.
I’m too old to move. Wish I would have done so years ago. I am stunned by the stupidity of the American populace.
> $18.4 billion is NOTHING compared to that
i’d gladly take 1/1000 to live on or awhile...: )

Hey Ben, sometimes it take a girl to produce balls :) But ya know that already ~smooch~ :)
They gotta be kidding me, I had no idea NASA was involved in the scam as well. Don’t tell me: They had to if they wanted funding because NOTHING is more freakin’ important than propping up Al Gores BS green companies so he can get that stock up then cash out before the company crashes and burns. That guy has made hundreds of millions of bucks from this garbage and still nobody holds him accountable. Anyone else blinks the wrong way the SEC is all over them, oh but not Al Gore. Just like the other Al, Al Sharpton. Oh so what if he owes $4.5 million in taxes, he’s a lib so it’s OK.
The administration continues to starve NASA’s exploration programs to fund a partisan environmental agenda,” Smith said. “NASA simply deserves better.”
Canada? Have you talked to any Canadians?
We need to get rid of the ruling class here in the USA. A nice civil war should do it. Our best hope is to reclaim the country and reinstate the Constitution.
If it’s “settled science” then the game is over. Right?
