49 former NASA scientists and astronauts sent a letter to NASA Administrator Charles Bolden last week admonishing the agency for it’s role in advocating a high degree of certainty that man-made CO2 is a major cause of climate change while neglecting empirical evidence that calls the theory into question.
The group, which includes seven Apollo astronauts and two former directors of NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, are dismayed over the failure of NASA, and specifically the Goddard Institute For Space Studies (GISS), to make an objective assessment of all available scientific data on climate change. They charge that NASA is relying too heavily on complex climate models that have proven scientifically inadequate in predicting climate only one or two decades in advance.











Try the weatherman/lady getting the weather right...lets say...4 days in advance!
Unless they use the Farmer's Almanac in those one to two decade forecasts. And the Farmer's has an astrology base to it....really scientific!! /sarc
I plan on posting every bit of evidence that is published that says the Mann / IPCC AGW pronouncements were wrong, if not outright frauds. I won't let my liberal friends forget how stupid they were when they were so damned sure.
Just how tight might Andrew Weavers cheeks be a squeezing after he reads this. Since he and his charlatan buds like the Grand Wizard Chicken Little on the Run, Suzuker, are busy with lawsuits against an honest and sincere man like Tim Ball, facts and"inconvienient" truths like this backed up by reputable people like this list would make for some great reality TV in the "Farce of Natures" many houses if it were possible to get the cameras in.
Probably very embarrassed by the whole thing. I think they should be demanding an apology for having their names and reputations dragged through the warmist's political sewage.
In any case they will soon learn that it is NOT about science.
Well it's not like they're rocket scientists or something...oh wait..
...I guess the Muslim Outreach/AGW faction of NASA is at odds with the scientific bits...I wonder where Charles Bolden will come down on this..?.;-(
Shouldn't NASA be now known as Muslim Aeronautics Space & Administration? MASA.
The Astronauts can now wear green unicorn patches.
Who are these guys?! A bunch of astronauts and rocket scientists who study celestial mechanics and radiation belts and solar activity and such?!
How can they have the temerity, the audacity, the sheer gall to challenge the views of David Suzuki!? After all, he got his doctorate studying.. fruit fly genes. Now, who would have the training and knowledge to assess complex mathematical models on a global scale - the people who fly rockets to the moon, or the people who study the tiniest bits of very tiny creatures? Well, I know what the Globe and Mail and CBC would say...
Nasa can't have it both ways.

Let's not forget that perhaps the greatest rocket scientist alive today, Burt Rutan, has been criticizing the argument behind AGW for years now.
The letter won't bother Hansen. He knows those guys are just mad because they couldn't make one more flight to the moon to set up a windmill to power a bunch of instruments there.
What's wrong with you people?
GW is REAL!
In fact it's so bad, it causing the icecaps on Mars to melt!
Wake Up!
Well, the good news is 49 former NASA scientists and astronauts are capable of objectivity and value science.
The bad news is NASA has become a political organization, making objectivity dangerous and science a tool for reaching into taxpayers' pockets.
Let me translate "scientifically inadequate" for the uber smart people like Drs. Fruit Fly & Weaver.
Wrong, completely wrong, useless, waste of time and research money, waste of public policy discussion time and borderline fraud.
The good news is that their names and reputations will be the ones attached to the greatest scientific scam in history. Quite the legacy they will leave for posterity and future comedians.
It has to be
'man made global warming.'
Only an imbecile still believes the SUN heats or cools the earth!
The trouble is, this article will never see the light of day in the main stream media and state controlled television - CBC, BBC. Government can never be wrong.
Hey some salt to rub in the open wound called Hansen . . . .

It has to be 'man made global warming.'
Well, that lets me off the hook. I'm off to fire up something.
" Let slip the dogs of truth!"
From the website of the Ontario Power Authority:
Our Vision:
Leading Ontario in the development of North America’s most reliable, cost-effective and sustainable electricity system.
(emphasis added)
How does paying 80 ¢/kWh instead of 5-7 make electricity cost-effective?
How long, oh Lord, how long?
And what strange beast will replace AGW, to plague us?
NASA and the latest crop of dreamers are so off the track they find themselves up to their butts in swamp alligators.
Now when they want to put a human in space they have to take a Russian bus.
"And what strange beast will replace AGW, to plague us?" John Lewis
Well it could be Water or Food Security, they need a Polar bear like mascot to sell the crap.. The dead fruit fly freak and Gore will be on CBC selling Ant or Grub colonies....It will all work until folks discover that the Greenies are finger licken good..
KevinB, the real question is: who is the modern, "progressive" leftist going to believe in times like these? Actual scientists, or a man like Fruitfly, with his 5 children and his 3 huge homes in 3 different locations around the world, and his 5-million buck a year enviro-alarmist foundation, and his entire adult lifetime spent making alarmist documentaries for a State broadcasting agency?
Who is the "eat the rich" anarchist or communist going to believe? Actual scientists, or a hyperrich elitist former Presidential candidate with his multitude of grotesquely huge mansions, his fuel-guzzling private jet, and his vast investment in carbon cap-and-trade?
Sadly, we already know. Idiocy reigns.
