Sounds like Griffin is not drinking the Kool Aid.

Defying the Goracle will bring great wrath however.

Hope he is strong enough.

This is a pretty clever statement by a smart guy who knows who we works for, and who works for him. First of all, he acknowledges the scientific reality. To not do that, considering what ground and space-based research strongly indicate, would be ludicrous. But then, to be in accord with policy, he then doesn't commit to the position that global warming is a crisis-level problem (pretty consistent with the Administration position, i.e., deal with it with technology advances, which I think is the only way it's going to get dealt with, anyway).

I imagine that he's been planning such a statement for quite awhile, for the circumstance when the question came up.

I cannot remember where I read, heard, saw about GW causing glacier melting, disrupting the Gulfstream and causing London and New York to become inhabitable with sub-freeezing temperatures.

BUT

Perhaps someone can answer this:

If global warming melts glaciers

AND, they flow into the ocean with millions of gallons of fresh water

So much so, that they disrupt the warm waters of the Gulfstream

And, that in turn causes widespread cooling in places such as London and New York

Why won't the glaciers stop melting, the Gulfstream return to normal flow and those cities and their corresponding regions, never see the doomandgloom of uninhabitable catastrophic climate change?

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.

My lord!

A voice of reason!

Go Griffin! Scuttle the Goracle!
