NASA chief says he changed mind about climate change because he 'read a lot’

NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine says he changed his mind on the existence of man-made climate change because he “read a lot.”

“I heard a lot of experts, and I read a lot,” Bridenstine told the Washington Post on Tuesday. “I came to the conclusion myself that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that we've put a lot of it into the atmosphere and therefore we have contributed to the global warming that we've seen. And we've done it in really significant ways.”

The former congressman from Oklahoma had long denied the scientific consensus on climate change and said in a 2013 speech on the House floor that "global temperatures stopped rising 10 years ago."

In May, Bridenstine first announced publicly that he now believes human activity is the main cause of climate change.

Mr. Bridenstine is unburdened by the faculty of critical thinking and needs to be escorted off the premises.

He read the line in the NASA budget dependent upon the proliferation of the fraud.

In the decade before I retired from aerospace I asked our Business Development Director why we were bidding on contract for a satellite meant to measure “global warming”, when I knew he shared my view that the concept was a fraud.

He said, “If NASA wants to pay us to build a thermometer we don’t much care what they do with the data.”

So now he listened to some “expert” with no verifiable credentials or proof-and “read a lot”-now he is an expert as well-where is he doing “a lot” of reading-in the SciFi aisles at Barnes & Noble?

CO2 is heavier than air. It’s why we build smokestacks, so that the emissions of factories wouldn’t descend upon the town the factory occupied.

Smokestacks ensure the emissions fell tens to hundreds of miles away.

But they always FELL.

If CO2 DIDN’T fall, there would be no plant life, nor phytoplankton in the ocean.

Turns out this guy’s not qualified to teach an 8th grade science class. What’s he doing running NASA?

...because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved...God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.

Speaks of "that day" (vs.3). We are in the last days and rapidly approaching "that day".

More like he was taken aside by NASA officials and told global warming research pays big dividends.

'Believing' keeps the money flowing.

But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Matt. 24:36.

HOWEVER...

[C]oncerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. 2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. 3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. 4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 5 You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. 6 Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-6.

"At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people."

When Obama was running, I heard people say he was like a breath of fresh air, or that he filled them with "hope", but could not explain why. The lies of the devil are exactly like that: sugar coated, appearing good only on the surface. But too many have forgotten how to look just below it. Liberalism, political correctness, whatever you choose to call it, is a deception straight from Hell, and people are being led away by it in record numbers. God alone knows the time that the end will come, but Jesus also told us to look a the signs of the times.

He should watch more cat videos. Then he will realize that Global Catism is real, too.

The Father alone knows the day and the hour, but WE SHOULD know the times and the seasons (1 Thess 5:1-5).

Does anyone get the feeling that Bridenstine got an anonymous manila envelope full of incriminating photos from his past - and suddenly decided that he had “read a lot” on the issue?
