SHAME: Senate Confirms Climate Change Denier To Lead NASA

[Lakhota]

Rep. Jim Bridenstine (R-Okla.) will take over control of the space agency after seven-month standoff.

WASHINGTON — The Senate on Thursday narrowly confirmed Rep. Jim Bridenstine (R-Okla.), a former Navy pilot with no scientific credentials and who doesn’t believe humans are primarily to blame for the global climate crisis, to lead NASA.

Bridenstine will become the first elected official to hold the NASA administrator job. He joins a Cabinet already loaded with people who question the near-universal scientific consensus that climate change is real and that human activity is the primary cause.

The final vote ― which was 50-49 along party lines ― came one day after the Senate narrowly advanced Bridenstine’s nomination, thanks to an about-face from Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and a key vote from Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.). Rubio, who in September told Politico that he worried about Bridenstine’s nomination “could be devastating for the space program,” said in a statement Wednesday that he decided to support the nominee in order to avoid “a gaping leadership void” at NASA.

This is sad. It will take Democrats decades to clean up this mess. What do you think?

When did promoting the climate change hoax become NASA's job?

Trump is a manned space exploration proponent, and he appointed a manned space exploration proponent to the head of NASA...

I'm fucking shocked I tell ya.

Forcing people to buy LED bulbs is making a better world?

Forcing people to use reusable shopping bags is making a better world?

There are many scientists that don't buy the global warming climate change leftist lie. The very fact that the leftist media changed the name from global warming to climate change after it was proven the earth isn't warming is proof it's bogus. Nothing but a tax scam.

There's no denying climate change. We've had 5 ice ages and we're in a warm up right now. But it's not man made climate change.

What crisis? The snow we had last night in Chicago?

It will take Democrats decades to clean up this mess.

I agree. NASA needs to get back to what it does best.
Lie about Muslim contributions to science.

What do any of those goals have to do with wasting money worrying about CO2?

So, NASA is getting back to focusing on REAL science and not political propaganda?

Excellent. At least the money spent on NASA feels a little less wasted.

Can you give some examples of those real scientists that aren't on the payroll of people with a vested interest in convincing the public it's a hoax?

 

[Borillar]

Maybe some NASA scientist will take him aside and really blow his mind by explaining to him that the world is spherical and isn't supported by turtles all the way down.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Gotta love the naive dogma of ManBearPIg believers.

Missing from that list is the REAL objective and the secondary objective. Secondary is wealth redistribution through heavy taxation, and primary is the collapse and replacement of our republican form of government with a communist regime.

Only scientists who're on the payroll of people with a vested interest in convincing the public it's real count?

You remember how tobacco companies hired scientists to say smoking isn't harmful? Same situation with climate change deniers.

Don't you know that leftists only have to spout their intentions, not explain how they're actually going to achieve them?!

Great!

Maybe NASA can get back into space.

Or, even better, shut down entirely since they haven’t done anything useful since 1969.
