Rebellion At NASA Against 'Global Warming'

Letter warns 'green' position endangering 'reputation of science itself'

Forty-nine highly respected former NASA astronauts, engineers and scientists are fighting back against efforts by top executives to use the federal agency to promote global warming alarmism.

The letter to NASA Administrator Charles Bolden accuses the agency of endangering “the reputation of science itself” by advocating the “extreme” position that carbon dioxide is the major cause of climate change.

The signatories include seven former Apollo astronauts as well as Chris Kraft, the man more responsible than any other for establishing Mission Control.

They want NASA to “refrain from including unproven and unsupported remarks in its future releases” and contend that the claim “that man-made carbon dioxide is having a catastrophic impact on global climate change” is “not substantiated.”

The letter has done nothing to stop the efforts of NASA’s most notorious global warming activist, James Hansen, director of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies, a division of NASA.

NASA was created as a cover for a much more aggressive secret space program.95% of the employees,past and present are not aware of that fact.

So while the climate IS (literally really is, look at facts) warming, NASA just backs off of the "caused by humans" claim. I think that is a good thing because no one can prove if humans contribute or if it is only a natural cycle.
