A few weeks ago, I was talking to an interesting fellow who told me that the theory concerning global warming had already been proven, and that NASA even said it was so. In case you are unfamiliar with the exact definition of "global Warming theory" it states in essence that the ambient temperatures of Earth are heating up due to mankind's emissions of green house gases and specifically CO2. But actually this isn't so. Why you ask?
Simple, mankind's CO2 emissions barely account for 2.5% of all the CO2 in the Earth's atmosphere, the rest comes from nature. Now then, in case you also believe that this theory has been settled and proven, and approved by NASA as fact, well, you might be surprised to learn the reality on that. You see, there was an interesting feature article on CFACT (dot) org online news recently titled; "Astronauts and scientists send letter to NASA: Stop global warming advocacy," which stated;
"Joint letter from 49 former NASA scientists and astronauts to the current NASA Administrator blasts agency's policy of ignoring empirical evidence about global warming," and the letter "admonishing the agency for its 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 letter was written to NASA's Chief Bolton on March 28, 2012 and you can read a full excerpt online. Now then, one comment that seems to stand out is this; "There's a concern that if it turns out that CO2 is not a major cause of climate change, NASA will have put the reputation of NASA, NASA's current and former employees, and even the very reputation of science itself at risk of public ridicule and distrust."
Well, I'd say that it is too late to save NASA's reputation, in my mind, and realize I operate a think tank which is online, personally, I can no longer trust NASA's research and question any and all information coming from the agency now. That's not to say I don't trust NASA more than I trust the Obama Administration for instance, obviously that would be a no-brainer hands-down contest in favor of NASA (again my personal opinion), but still, you get the point, the credibility of the agency is shot in my mind.
Obviously, if there are this many NASA insiders speaking out, there must be more. I would submit to you that the scientific community has been hijacked, and now the backlash is coming - I'd say it's overdue. Please consider all this and think on it.
