SHAME: Senate Confirms Climate Change Denier To Lead NASA

Yes, yes, yes. I had snow TODAY!. Of course I'm above 6,000 feet so that helps, but it has nothing to do with the OP so lets get it back on track folks.

I think many here are focusing on the bolded part of the thread headline, in the effort to support him?

"SHAME: Senate Confirms Climate Change Denier To Lead NASA"
 
"Decades" to clean up Trump's mess may be an understatement -

First thing this dude will do is end NASA's role in studying any and all climate science.

Sigh ...

The Birth of NASA

EXCERPT:

"It is instructive to recall the objectives for NASA that emerged in section 102 of the final Space Act:
  1. The expansion of human knowledge of phenomena in the atmosphere and space;
  2. The improvement of the usefulness, performance, speed, safety, and efficiency of aeronautical and space vehicles;
  3. The development and operation of vehicles capable of carrying instruments, equipment, supplies, and living organisms through space;
  4. The establishment of long-range studies of the potential benefits to be gained from, the opportunities for, and the problems involved in the utilization of aeronautical and space activities for peaceful and scientific purposes;
  5. The preservation of the role of the United States as a leader in aeronautical and space science and technology and in the application thereof to the conduct of peaceful activities within and outside the atmosphere;
  6. The making available to agencies directly concerned with national defense of discoveries that have military value or significance, and the furnishing by such agencies, to the civilian agency established to direct and control nonmilitary aeronautical and space activities, of information as to discoveries which have value or significance to that agency;
  7. Cooperation by the United States with other nations and groups of nations in work done pursuant to this Act and in the peaceful application of the results thereof;
  8. The most effective utilization of the scientific and engineering resources of the United States, with close cooperation among all interested agencies of the United States in order to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort, facilities and equipment"
President Trump has already made it clear he wants NASA to get back into space exploration.

New Space Policy Directive Calls for Human Expansion Across Solar System

EXCERPT:

"President Donald Trump is sending astronauts back to the Moon.

The president Monday signed at the White House Space Policy Directive 1, a change in national space policy that provides for a U.S.-led, integrated program with private sector partners for a human return to the Moon, followed by missions to Mars and beyond.

The policy calls for the NASA administrator to “lead an innovative and sustainable program of exploration with commercial and international partners to enable human expansion across the solar system and to bring back to Earth new knowledge and opportunities.” The effort will more effectively organize government, private industry, and international efforts toward returning humans on the Moon, and will lay the foundation that will eventually enable human exploration of Mars.

“The directive I am signing today will refocus America’s space program on human exploration and discovery,” said President Trump. “It marks a first step in returning American astronauts to the Moon for the first time since 1972, for long-term exploration and use. This time, we will not only plant our flag and leave our footprints -- we will establish a foundation for an eventual mission to Mars, and perhaps someday, to many worlds beyond.”
 
Past time to understand that the planet has cooled and warmed for eons . No one tries to deny that
The amount of particulates injected into the atmosphere by mankind is dwarfed by what Mother Nature puts up there
70% of the planet is water and of the land mass 90% of it is unoccupied
So, what effect, if any, is mankind having? It's akin to 4 seats in a 50,000 seat stadium. Now if it's 4 seats of anthrax then big problem but 4 seats of beach sand then not. That's the unanswered question .
 
I've bolded the points directly related to the study of climate science.
  1. The expansion of human knowledge of phenomena in the atmosphere and space;
  2. The improvement of the usefulness, performance, speed, safety, and efficiency of aeronautical and space vehicles;
  3. The development and operation of vehicles capable of carrying instruments, equipment, supplies, and living organisms through space;
  4. The establishment of long-range studies of the potential benefits to be gained from, the opportunities for, and the problems involved in the utilization of aeronautical and space activities for peaceful and scientific purposes;
  5. The preservation of the role of the United States as a leader in aeronautical and space science and technology and in the application thereof to the conduct of peaceful activities within and outside the atmosphere;
  6. The making available to agencies directly concerned with national defense of discoveries that have military value or significance, and the furnishing by such agencies, to the civilian agency established to direct and control nonmilitary aeronautical and space activities, of information as to discoveries which have value or significance to that agency;

Do you know what 1 really meant?

Hint: It is NOT about global warming, it is about something else.

Hint #2: atmosphere and space

Hint #3 Why they say Class M planets in Star Trek?
 
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.
Tax Scam??

Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet: Evidence
Yep, the NASA propaganda. Thank God we won't have to put up with any more of that crap, and NASA can get back to being a space program instead of another propaganda arm of the democrat party.
 
Translation: The Global Warming Cult is profoundly butthurt their agenda is fading fast.

It's not about 'denying' there's Climate Change. Most obviously understand that the climate changes. Some people are just choosing to approach it in a calm logical manner. The Global Warming religious zealots should be kicked to the curb. It's about time.

I hope so.
We have enough redundant government agencies wasting our money on global warming...err...climate change...err...extreme weather...err...climate weirding...err...enough already.

Let NASA concentrate on space.

Gawad!

NASA was specifically created to put things into SPACE!

It was a reaction the USSR beating America in sending Sputnik into space. Here is the very first paragraphs from the LINK you obviously never read:

"It may well be argued that NASA has become the world's premier agent for exploration, carrying on in "the new ocean" of outer space a long tradition of expanding the physical and mental boundaries of humanity. Fifty years ago, however the agency that pushed the frontiers of aeronautics, took us to the moon, flew the space shuttle, built the International Space Station and revealed the secrets of the cosmos, was in its birth throes, and fundamental decisions were being made that profoundly shaped all that was to come.

The driving force, of course, was the launch of Sputnik on Oct. 4, 1957, followed by its even weightier successors. In the midst of the Cold War, a country that aspired to global preeminence could not let that challenge pass. Although the United States already had its own satellite plans in place as part of the International Geophysical Year, the Russian events spurred the Space Age, and in particular gave urgency to the founding of an American national space agency."

GISS was specifically created for Environmental Sciences research, Founded in 1961 by Dr. Jastrow in support of NASA development:

From NASA
"About GISS
The NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) is a laboratory in the Earth Sciences Division (ESD) of National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). The ESD is part of GSFC's Sciences and Exploration Directorate.

Following approval by NASA Administrator T. Keith Glennan in December 1960, the institute was established by Dr. Robert Jastrow in May 1961 (originally as the New York City office of GSFC's Theoretical Division) to do basic research in space sciences in support of GSFC programs. Research areas included the structure of Earth, Moon, and other planetary bodies; the atmospheres of Earth and the other planets; the origin and evolution of the solar system; the properties of interplanetary plasma; Sun-Earth relations; and the structure and evolution of stars. The institute was sited in New York on the premise that conducting theoretical research in the space sciences would be facilitated by being near the leading universities in the greater metropolitan area. Further, it was thought that the location would promote interest at the universities in NASA programs.

The institute's early study of the Earth and planetary atmospheres using data collected by satellites, space probes, and space probes eventually led to GISS becoming a leading center of atmospheric modeling and of climate change."

From the Smithsonian
Excerpts:

"NASA Begins

A New Agency for Space
In the wake of Sputnik in 1957, President Dwight D. Eisenhower responded to the Soviet challenge and to public concern and excitement by reorganizing the American space effort. One step was to create a new government agency to conduct civilian space exploration."

and,

"The Glennan Years
When NASA formally started operations on October 1, 1958, the agency and its administrator had broad authority to select goals and implement programs of space exploration.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower appointed T. Keith Glennan as NASA's first administrator in August 1958. As a new enterprise, space exploration confronted an array of difficult scientific and technical problems. Three challenges stood out:

1. developing rockets that could carry machines and humans into space
2. learning about the space environment
3. taking the first steps toward human exploration

Under Glennan's leadership, NASA made advances in all of these areas. Engineers started development of the Saturn family of rockets that would later carry astronauts to the Moon. In conjunction with universities, NASA began a variety of science missions. But the greatest public excitement came with Glennan's formation of the first human exploration effort, Project Mercury. With the first selection of Mercury astronauts in 1959, public fascination in space reached a fever pitch."

Nothing about Global Warming research here either.
 
The Flat Earth Society

They also think they make 'an argument'. But like them you've convinced yourself that fantasy is reality. You are to be ignored and brushed aside as arguing for a Flat Earth as well.

You win the tin foil hat award of the day though!

View attachment 188976
Man made global warming is the fantasy, douchebag. Cult members like you have claimed every kind of weather imaginable is caused by global warming. You also state that a blizzard is weather, not climate and in the next sentence you will claim a drought or a heat wave is proof of man made global warming.

The stupidity is beyond belief.


Yeah, whether to accept the research and evidence of 10,000 PH.D's around the world in every field, or a derp on a message board.

How could anyone possibly decide.
You mean 10,000 douchebags who depend on the AGW theory being true for the salaries, prestige and social position. Facts are facts, and contradictions are contradictions. The AGW cult has made numerous claims that directly contradict each other. Furtrhermore, all their predictions turned out to be wrong. That isn't science. It's Voo Doo.


So you actually believe you are more informed and educated than one PH.D let alone thousands who all agree.

And for you the world is flat and it's 'obvious' to everyone that isn't a PH.D.

Your consensus defense is dumb and boring. You have posted similar many times in the thread, with ZERO content.

When are you going to get beyond the Consensus fallacy?

When you get a PH.D in climate science, biology, zoology, oceanography, physics, chemistry or one of the other hundreds of disciplines people spend a lifetime perfecting. All kidding aside you don't really think anyone takes your uneducated opinion on the subject at all seriously do you? Come now.

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?

More winning for Trump and America.

Nope, not tired yet.
 
Trump should appoint medical doctors for all of his followers. "Today I'm announcing my kitchen staff are now going to be the doctors for all my great followers. Nothing but the best, in food preparers, for my supporters. It's what they deserve."

You still have NOTHING for us to ponder over.

Maybe Al Gore can give them a ride on his private plane to his energy sucking house where they can use the hot air to drive a windfarm.
