NASA Is NASA Chief Michael Griffin Right to Question the Urgency of Global Warming?

Click For Summary
NASA Chief Michael Griffin has sparked controversy by questioning the urgency of addressing global warming, stating that while he acknowledges a trend of global warming, he does not view it as an immediate problem. He argues that assuming the current climate is optimal is an arrogant position and suggests that humans cannot control climate change. Griffin's comments have drawn criticism from the left and support from the right, with some asserting that rapid climate changes could lead to catastrophic consequences. A recent NASA study contradicts Griffin, indicating that human-made greenhouse gases are nearing critical tipping points. The debate highlights differing perspectives on the role of science and policy in addressing climate change.

Global warming is caused by the desire of politicians to get the public interested in 'something else'. :cool:

Creating the fear of global warming is just to prepare everyone for the coming "air tax". The ability to tax air is like a dream come true for the gov. You just wait, money is going to fly out of all our pockets, maybe at super-luminal speeds (sorry Einstein)...
