I know you criticize NASA. They sent a man to the man and brought him back (multiple times).
You don't know jack shit about what I criticize... Always supported the space program to some extent. We're talking about a small cadre of people holed up in the "GISS" NASA office headed by political APPOINTEES who are RABID enviro-nauts. Like James Hansen.. The activist in a labcoat that gave CBS news the "excuse and cover" to show a graphic with our oceans BOILING and the graphic 212 degrees on top of it..
+IN FACT, I'm in GREAT company poking at them, since there was a letter signed about 1998 by over 20 top NASA former scientists and astronauts SIMILARLY criticizing their campaign of FEAR and purposely distorting the science of Global Warming.. Those folks you admire for GETTING us to the moon and back.
Kinda arrogant about attacking me when there's so much you DON'T know..
James Hansen was NOT a political appointee. From his Wikipedia article:
Early life and education
Hansen was born in
Denison,
Iowa, to James Ivan Hansen and Gladys Ray Hansen.
[9] He was trained in physics and astronomy in the
space science program of
James Van Allen at the
University of Iowa. He obtained a
B.A. in Physics and Mathematics with highest distinction in 1963, an
M.S. in Astronomy in 1965 and a
Ph.D. in Physics in 1967, all three degrees from the University of Iowa. He participated in the NASA graduate traineeship from 1962 to 1966 and, at the same time, between 1965 and 1966, he was a visiting student at the Institute of Astrophysics at the
University of Kyoto and in the Department of Astronomy at the
University of Tokyo. He then began work at the
Goddard Institute for Space Studies in 1967.
[10]
Career
After
graduate school, Hansen continued his work with
radiative transfer models, attempting to understand the
Venusian atmosphere. He later applied and refined these models to understand the
Earth's atmosphere, and in particular, the effects that
aerosols and
trace gases have on Earth's climate. His development and use of
global climate models has contributed to the further understanding of the
Earth's climate. In 2009 his first book,
Storms of My Grandchildren, was published.
[11] In 2012 he presented the
TED Talk "Why I must speak out about climate change".
[12]
From 1981 to 2013, he was the director of the
NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in
New York City, a part of the
Goddard Space Flight Center.
As of 2014, Hansen directs the Program on Climate Science, Awareness and Solutions at Columbia University's Earth Institute.
[13] The program is working to continue to "connect the dots" from advancing basic climate science to promoting public awareness to advocating policy actions.
Hansen is representing his granddaughter as well as "future generations" as plaintiffs in the
Juliana v. United States lawsuit, which is suing the United States government and some of its executive branch's positions for not protecting a stable climate system.
