Global Warming

NASA's response:

"NASA sponsors research into many areas of cutting-edge scientific inquiry, including the relationship between carbon dioxide and climate. As an agency, NASA does not draw conclusions and issue 'claims' about research findings. We support open scientific inquiry and discussion," said NASA Chief Scientist Waleed Abdalati in a statement to Secrets.

On Tuesday, Secrets reported that nearly 50 former NASA officials wrote the Administrator Charles Bolden to demand that the world's premier space agency stop backing global warming in the media.

But Abdalati said that the critics are wrong. Worse, he added, they want to shut down further study into the issue.

"Our Earth science programs provide many unique space-based observations and research capabilities to the scientific community to inform investigations into climate change, and many NASA scientists are actively involved in these investigations, bringing their expertise to bear on the interpretation of this information. We encourage our scientists to subject these results and interpretations to scrutiny by the scientific community through the peer-review process. After these studies have met the appropriate standards of scientific peer-review, we strongly encourage scientists to communicate these results to the public," he said in a statement.

"If the authors of this letter disagree with specific scientific conclusions made public by NASA scientists, we encourage them to join the debate in the scientific literature or public forums rather than restrict any discourse," added Abdalati.

Give it up Troll. . . Only way they're going to believe it is when their fat is frying like bacon in a hot pan. . . and but then it will be too late anyway. . . 

  I worked in a greenhouse for three years, working for the owner when I was in high school.  I sure know the effects of the greenhouse effect.     It was hot in there even on a cloudy day in the summer when the heater was off.

Did ya ever stop to think it was the glass and the humidity plus the fact it was enclosed?  Not even a good comparison there bucko.

  You just can't fix stupid.    And is stupid.

all I did was post an article where 50 NASA astronauts and scientist claim the agency is on the wrong side of science.

And the agency pointed out that science doesn't have a side and that these gentlemen were more than welcome to engage them in a discussion over their findings if they are so inclined.  I'm guessing they won't...for obvious reasons.

Really?! And what is the wrong side of science? I'm a degreed computer scientist. Do you think any opinion I may have about rocket science are valid just because I have a degree in computer science?

  Dumbass, it was in the summer there was no wind and we had the doors open and the upper vents open on the green house.  It was hotter in the green house than outside.  I can tell you have had no experience with green houses.  What a loser.

And if the sun hadn't been heating up the glass and reflecting, if it had been covered with something in other words, it would not have been as hot.  Ever started a fire with a magnifying glass?  Ever been in a house with a skylight when it was hot and stood under it with the sun blazing onto it?

And I suppose you have too much oxygen in your system from working in the greenhouse and that's why so dingy.

Shew wee thems some sour grapes!

[The Troll]

  We have people here on the Zone who don't believe in Global Warming, they don't believe in modern science.  They have no education on weather, carbon dioxide, no degree in the study of the affects of CO2 in the atmosphere.  They want to take the word of some space jockeys about global warming.   

  They don't know nothing about the acidification of water by CO2.  They don't know that rain water falling through the air here in Indiana creates Carbonic acid which go down into the water table and creates hard water.    Or the acidification of lakes.

  Who do you trust them and space jockeys or the world scientist.  I trust the thousand of scientists who believe in global warming, they're with the Troll.    :4Th3:

Nor do you have an education in any of those things.  There are two sets of studies done by people who do and they both came to different conclusions you believe one set of studies and I believe in the other.  One study deals with scare tactics and fits a given agenda and the other deals with reality.
