NASA did not develop Tang. Since you apparently favor military applications, you would be aware that 2/3 of NASA is support for military applications. Okay I'll concede that Tang was probably paid for with a Robert Byrd "earmark" to Kraft Foods. And I'm onboard with the support of mil apps.
However the Space Station is fast becoming Space Edsel. And I didn't leave anything on Mars the last time I was there. But it's Hansen and his Gorebal Warming idiots at NASA that really chap my @$$.

Sorry for the double post. My mouse stuttered.

Hansen actually has overstepped his position. He ought to take his retirement and move to a Liberal university. What he has been doing is far from space program stuff anyway.

"Global warming will make severe thunderstorms and tornadoes a more common feature of U.S. weather, NASA scientists said today."Some may have said this, but they are just alarmists. Tornados, and the thunderstorms that they result from, derive their energy from the average energy of the atmosphere. The average energy of the atmosphere is proportional to the absolute temperature, so any change will be according to the ratio of the 2 temperatures involved.
So for a 1o change,
Tfinal/Tinitial = 292/291 = 0.0034 = 0.34%
So, 0.34%/oC is all the extra energy available to do what they claim. That's not a significant increase at all, and it's flat out fraud to claim that it is.

Thanks, I did see that and i agree. It has long been the method of alarmists that the get every opportunity to cry gloom and doom and yet never get called back to be confronted when they are wrong. But when they are right, that 1 time out of 100 they become media darlings for as long as the lamestream libs can drag it out.

I’m starting to think the people that wanted to abolish NASA and put the money into social programs may have had a better idea

Normal weather has now become a fear factor of (100).
This is growing old. Hysteria never lasted long in America.

I can’t be sure, but by my own observations I think the nights are darker now than they were 20 years ago.

I agree! What a waste of our money. How many times can they send that ridiculous Shuttle up just to watch newts breed in space? My husband said they ought to have a rolling money counter on the screen when they launch the thing to show how much it is costing us per second.
Funding time must be coming up again soon, because that is when NASA always releases another dire global warming prediction. It keeps the money flowing from Congress.
To: RoadKingSE
Would someone please help me understand what it is we've received in exchange for all the billions of taxpayer dollars we've sunk into NASA to keep the Trekkies and Tech Heads entertained for the last 20 years. Tang.

What happened to The Coming Ice Age that was supposed to be happening according to news releases between 1976 and 1987? Could they have been wrong then??? Just wondered.

Well, that consider that tornadoes and thunderstorms are the result of ^weather^, not ^climate^.
Yes, but weather is the localized phenomena of the climate of a region and that also depends on the geography of that region. This is why the U.S. is the tornado capital of the world.

My intent was to point out that GW proponents use “weather” to support their conclusions but decry those who use weather to scuttle those very same conclusions.

Heh, you may be right! It will be interesting to watch, won’t it?

If NASA says it, it must be right, comrade.Also, a majority of the Supreme Court of Meteorology ruled that man made global warming is a fact. No more need for debate.
