NASA Administrator Michael Griffin Not Sure That Global Warming Is A Problem
National Public Radio ^ | May 30, 2007 | NPR

MR. GRIFFIN: I have no doubt that global -- that a trend of global warming exists. I am not sure that it is fair to say that it is a problem we must wrestle with. To assume that it is a problem is to assume that the state of earth's climate today is the optimal climate, the best climate that we could have or ever have had and that we need to take steps to make sure that it doesn't change. First of all, I don't think it's within the power of human beings to assure that the climate does not change, as millions of years of history have shown, and second of all, I guess I would ask which human beings - where and when - are to be accorded the privilege of deciding that this particular climate that we have right here today, right now is the best climate for all other human beings. I think that's a rather arrogant position for people to take.

He's not buying the Gore"bull" warming meme, and probably thinks someone at NASA needs a counterbalance James Hansen's impolitic and unscientific ravings.

I learned to my consternation last night that NASA is considered by many to be primarily an "environmental" organization. I worked briefly for Jim Fletcher, the Administrator who apparently created that emphasis. Read this pdf file and weep: Science in a Political Context

Liberals are not going to like this one bit.

It never fails to impress me that most people think the world began when they were born.

It’s actually the other way around.

I guess you’re right...or maybe it’s both! They seem to think science and politics are interchangeable. *snort*

This administator has been asked to see the Majority Leader's chief of staff to "get his mind right" for committee testimony.

Global warming is caused by the sun, and I am thankful for that. Al Gore and the rest of the liberal lunatic pack of fools think they can control the sun. And they think that capitalism is an enemy of the earth, but socialism is a friend. Babbling idiots.

Oh oh, how do you say “man without a job”.

At the end of the administration he is, by definition, out of a job anyway.

NASA has both bureaucrats and scientists. I've never yet met an astronomer who believes in man-made global warming. The ONLY cause for global warming is related to the sun's output.
