SUMMARY
NASA Chief Michael Griffin publicly questioned the urgency of global warming during an NPR interview, asserting that while a trend exists, it is not necessarily a problem that requires immediate action. He emphasized that climate change has been a natural occurrence for millions of years and criticized the notion that current climate conditions are optimal. Griffin's comments have sparked significant debate, with some praising his caution while others express concern over the potential consequences of inaction. Notably, a recent NASA study contradicts his stance, indicating that human-made greenhouse gases are nearing critical tipping points.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of climate change concepts and terminology
- Familiarity with NASA's role in climate research
- Knowledge of greenhouse gas effects on global temperatures
- Awareness of historical climate patterns and their implications
- Research the latest findings from NASA and Columbia University on greenhouse gases and climate tipping points
- Explore the implications of the Lomborg principle in climate policy discussions
- Investigate the effects of methane production and CO2 sequestration technologies
- Learn about the historical context of climate changes during the Holocene Thermal Optimum
This discussion is beneficial for climate scientists, environmental policy makers, and anyone interested in the intersection of space exploration and climate change advocacy.
LOL, yep! I'm not surprised.

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

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)...
