Former National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) scientist Dr. John Bates has gone on record that the organization knowingly released "unverified" global temperature data in violation of rules on scientific integrity which Bates had received a 2014 U.S. Department of Commerce Gold Medal for devising.
President-elect Donald Trump’s senior space policy advisor, Bob Walker, recently observed that NASA has been reduced to "a logistics agency concentrating on space station resupply and politically correct environmental monitoring." Instead, "We see NASA in an exploration role, in deep space research." He added, "Mr. Trump’s decisions will be based upon solid science, not politicized science."
The UN climate talks in Marrakesh, Morocco, finished with demands for more climate cash, which the bureaucrats call accelerated or enhanced commitments, and pleas for incoming President Donald Trump to keep the U.S. within the UN climate regime and send over the cash. Next year Fiji's military Junta gets the ball.
Dr. Gavin Schmidt, the director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, told the Independent he and other government scientists are “not going to stand” for any funding cuts or other interference in their work.
“Uncertainties in the adjustments to our global temperature datasets, the small amount of warming those datasets have measured compared to what climate models expect, and uncertainties over the possible role of Mother Nature in recent warming, all combine to make climate change beliefs as much faith-based as science-based."
The government spins information, distorts facts, and ignores the scientific record in its assertion that 2015 was the "hottest year ever." But what else is new? They want us to believe their models are more accurate than actual satellite and other real temperature measurements.
The NASA budget President Barack Obama released Tuesday is far more concerned with spending cash on global warming research than supporting the agency’s mission of space exploration.
NASA and NOAA's "hottest ever" temperature pronouncements rely on thermometers, but ignore the other two primary ways of measuring global air temperatures, satellites and radiosondes (weather balloons).
CFACT Advisor Dr. Larry Bell reports that the highly publicized claim by NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies is bogus -- that other studies, for example, work done by the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature (BEST) project, come to very different conclusions about the significance of the GISS findings, and others have questioned GISS director Gavin Schmidt about why his team ignored very accurate satellite data which have been available since 1979. Schmidt, of course, declined to answer, and now major media outlets are backtracking from their original reporting.
NASA should be at the forefront in the collection of scientific evidence and debunking the current hysteria over human-caused [anthropogenic] global warming [AGW]. Unfortunately, it is becoming just another agency caught up in the politics of global warming, or worse, politicized science. Advocacy and support for the White House agenda is replacing objective evaluation of data, while scientific data are being ignored in favor of emotions and politics.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Blanquita Cullum 703-307-9510 bqview at mac.com Joint letter to NASA Administrator blasts agency’s policy of ignoring empirical evidence HOUSTON, TX – April 10, 2012. 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 [...]
Dr. Roy Spencer On the morning of Saturday May 16, 2009, Dr. Roy Spencer, a principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville and a collaborator with CFACT Europe, presented a talk on global warming in the main building of the University of Helsinki. His was the first talk given at a yearly meeting of climate ‘realists’ in Finland, and it was coordinated by Dr. Boris Winterhalter. Dr. Spencer's presentation focused on recent satellite evidence that computerized climate models project far too much warming for the future. Those models mistakenly respond to the small amount of direct warming from [...]
