NASA is a public activity, paid for by Americans. Stealing from NASA is stealing from The People. It’s not a policy choice, it’s a crime.
Barack Obama spent Tax Day “reassuring†Florida voters that money will keep flowing to NASA. (article) But instead of pursuing cutting-edge space technology and exploration, there will be a focus on things such as monitoring the Earth’s climate.
“In space, no one can hear you scheme.†But the public has reached the point that they could recognize the Al Gore “Earth has a fever†con-game from there. In this age of sophisticated technology, images from space are clearly showing train loads of cash being hauled away by sneering little mobsters. We have the ability to target them, but it takes authorization from the mobsters themselves.
Power and financial control will shift to another far-left radical in the Obama line-up, the “godfather†of the global warming scam and advisor to Al Gore, James Hansen. (NASA Climate Data Verses the Conspiracy to Commit Good Science, Hansen Nailed for US Climate Data Manipulation, Global Warming: Survival of a Junk Scientist (James Hansen)) Hansen has been director of the NASA funded “Goddard Institute for Space Studies†at Columbia University since 1981, but also accepts large payments for political lobbying related to the global warming scam (Follow the Money : James Hansen Gets Another Pay-Off), and has for many years profited from sales of his own global warming scare-mongering books.
Since Climategate, the public has grown more aware of what many scientists already knew. There is no real evidence of catastrophic man-made global warming. Climategate emails and data served as confirmation of a multi-billion dollar con-game facilitated by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and driven by far-left “environmental†activists and scientists who were profiteering. The IPCC is a political mechanism for bypassing and stifling scientific scrutiny and maintaining the scam. It tied in with billions of dollars in funding under political control. Real scientific inquiry was ridiculed and the scientists ostracized for questioning artificially composed and fraudulently supported “scientific†dogma. There never was a “scientific consensus†behind Al Gore’s claims. A small number of people who controlled IPCC report writing, manipulated results in contradiction to even the minority scientific peer-review that did take place. Much of the “science†in the reports is not science at all, but hyped up unsupported advocacy and newspaper reports that simply repeat propaganda myths.
There is no great question to be settled. There is no evidence of catastrophic man-made global warming. That is the answer. There is nothing that “climate science†can potentially offer in support of Cap-n-Trade or other “do something about climate change†politics. There is nothing for government to do about climate. There is no unusual reason to worry about the weather.
But let’s say we just think weather is fascinating and recognize that there is some economic advantage to better understanding it; such as by accurately predicting world-wide crop yields so that you can make a killing on the futures market. Why not make understanding the weather a new scientific frontier much like the space-race used to be? Why not set a national goal like reliable prediction of global weather patterns for the next six months along with extremely accurate prediction of energy consumption and agricultural output?
Because they couldn’t achieve the goal. No great scientific advancements can reasonably be expected by shifting NASA’s focus to monitoring the Earth’s climate. For the most part (most, not all), “climate science†is an illusion and will remain so far into the future. One day, scientists will know much more about the weather, when technology is sufficiently advanced to provide and process huge amounts of data and that process has taken place over many, many years – at least. Or, simpler and more direct methods (such as watching sun-spots and improving crop-yield models) that rely on existing technology will rapidly out-pace Especially Big Science (fiction) projects in advancements – without multi-billion dollar annual budgets and without multi-trillion dollar hits to the world economy.
The solution to the current “climate science†problem is nowhere to be found in refocusing NASA’s budget. The solution is in refocusing the budget for weather research. Fire, rather than promote, the con-men, eliminate the fake and get back to real science on a credible budget. But that of course, may require that we first remove the mobsters from higher political offices.
