SHAME: Senate Confirms Climate Change Denier To Lead NASA

[GreenBean]

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?

When Obama weaponized government departments to push the liberal agenda.

Obama? Just another NaziCon conspiracy theory. Trump has weaponized the entire government.

Hi Apple - Re: Your Signature ..... "I listened carefully to Comey's interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC. Comey is a pompous, self-serving asshole! He needlessly cost Hillary the presidency." You do realize Comey kept the Queen Bee from being prosecuted do you not ?

Yes, I do realize that. He found her not guilty of any crimes. Thanks for reminding us...

Yup ... and do you also recall that he drafted her exoneration before the investigation was under way - basically her innocence was pre ordained - it's a friggin miracle I tell ya - a miracle !!!
Hallelujah !!! Praise Lord Soros !

Wrong, he said that no prosecutor would charge her for the crimes that she committed. Are you lying or just stupid?

Duh, and he didn't charge her. Correct? He just fucked her out of the presidency.

You mean she "fucked herself" out of the Presidency.

I'm not the only Democrat that walked away from voting for her.

Wow, you really don't know anything do you, the head of the FBI doesn't charge people. He refers the crimes to those people who do. He decided to not forward a complaint. By doing so he allowed her campaign to continue. Had he referred her for criminal charges she would have been toast so no, he didn't cost her anything. Her unethical, criminal behavior did. Why do you silly people think that the laws of this land don't apply to her, or to the elite in general?

But that is taking us far afield of the OP which is about the confirmation of the new NASA chief. What has he done or said that you feel makes him unsuitable to be NASA chief? It was only under obummer that NASA began ignoring its original mandate to do space exploration and instead began doing idiotic political glad handing.

Nobody "denies" climate change. If you look at it rationally it seems that the earth's climate today is only a drop in the geological bucket. It wasn't a million or a billion years since Mastodons became extinct. It was only about 40,000 years since most of the earth was covered in glacial ice. Was it Mastodon poop or Neanderthal fires that caused the earth to emerge from a freaking ice age? It's almost the last week in April and according to the Weather Channel About 21% of the lower 48 is covered in snow. The problem for the crazy angry left is that the climate has been changing for the last ten thousand years and we may have reached the peak of the post ice age warming and are drifting into the other side of the Sun's radiation..Lefties and democrats can't even enjoy a nice day in the spring without turning it into a political extortion issue.

George Orwell's 1984 has arrived. Up is down, wrong is right. Republicans are in some bizarre death spiral with reality. They reject reality with vociferous ferocity. It terrifies them as a bath terrifies a cat.

Ummm, it is you AGW supporters who are the ones demanding that no discussion be allowed about the so called global warming crisis. Remember, "consensus" is a POLITICAL term, it resides NOWHERE within the definition of the Scientific Method.

You have your list of cliche excuses that soothe your psyche so you can continue in your make believe world. Don't let me spoil it for you.

Unfortunate for you I can provide informative fact on the issue from researchers and scientists familiar with the global climate change agenda. I’d like to see you do as much.



“The IPCC has actually become a closed circuit; it doesn’t listen to others. It doesn’t have open minds… I am really amazed that the Nobel Peace Prize has been given on scientifically incorrect conclusions by people who are not geologists.” – Indian geologist Dr. Arun D. Ahluwalia at Punjab University and a board member of the UN-supported International Year of the Planet.


“Temperature measurements show that the [climate model-predicted mid-troposphere] hot zone is non-existent. This is more than sufficient to invalidate global climate models and projections made with them!”- UN IPCC Scientist Dr. Steven M. Japar, a PhD atmospheric chemist who was part of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Second (1995) and Third (2001) Assessment Reports, and has authored 83 peer-reviewed publications and in the areas of climate change, atmospheric chemistry, air pollutions and vehicle emissions.


“I was at the table with three Europeans, and we were having lunch. And they were talking about their role as lead authors. And they were talking about how they were trying to make the report so dramatic that the United States would just have to sign that Kyoto Protocol,” Christy told CNN on May 2, 2007. – Alabama State Climatologist Dr. John Christy of the University of Alabama in Huntsville, served as a UN IPCC lead author in 2001 for the 3rd assessment report and detailed how he personally witnessed UN scientists attempting to distort the science for political purposes.


Research by Australian climate data analyst John McLean revealed that the IPCC’s peer-review process for the Summary for Policymakers leaves much to be desired. (LINK) (LINK) (LINK) & (LINK) McLean’s research revealed that the UN IPCC peer-review process is “an illusion.” McLean’s study found that very few scientists are actively involved in the UN’s peer-review process. The report contained devastating revelations to the central IPCC assertion that ‘it is very highly likely that greenhouse gas forcing has been the dominant cause of the observed global warming over the last 50 years.” The analysis by McLean states: “The IPCC leads us to believe that this statement is very much supported by the majority of reviewers. The reality is that there is surprisingly little explicit support for this key notion. Among the 23 independent reviewers just 4 explicitly endorsed the chapter with its hypothesis, and one other endorsed only a specific section. Moreover, only 62 of the IPCC’s 308 reviewers commented on this chapter at all.” Repeating: Only four UN scientists in the IPCC peer-review process explicitly endorsed the key chapter blaming mankind for warming the past 50 years, according to this recent analysis.


Hurricane expert Christopher W. Landsea of NOAA’s National Hurricane Center, was both an author a reviewer for the IPCC’s 2nd Assessment Report in 1995 and the 3rd Assessment Report in 2001, but resigned from the 4th Assessment Report after charging the UN with playing politics with Hurricane science. Landsea wrote a January 17, 2005 public letter detailing his experience with the UN: “I am withdrawing [from the UN] because I have come to view the part of the IPCC to which my expertise is relevant as having become politicized. In addition, when I have raised my concerns to the IPCC leadership, their response was simply to dismiss my concerns.” “I personally cannot in good faith continue to contribute to a process that I view as both being motivated by pre-conceived agendas and being scientifically unsound,” Landsea added.

There are many scientists that don't buy the global warming climate change leftist lie.

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?

Read this.
Climate Change: No, It’s Not a 97 Percent Consensus | [site:name] | National Review

97% do not believe that it's an urgent problem. 97% do believe that humans are having some level of impact on the environment. A majority still believe that it's an urgent problem. The right loves to talk about how the 97% thing has been debunked, but really it hasn't if you actually understand it.

97% do believe that humans are having some level of impact on the environment. A majority still believe that it's an urgent problem.

But not so urgent that we should build a bunch of additional nuclear power plants, eh?

The 97% figure has been proven to be a yuge lie.

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!
