NASA says Climate Change exagerated?

[nrubenstein]

That's exactly why the *alarmists* will continue to push the issue...and all the people they shanked into believing the nonsense.
The bullshit will continue on for easily 10-100 more years till we get A COOLING CYCLE. Then everyone will look back just like we do today and laugh..."you know, we used to actually think C02 was more powerful than OUR OWN SUN....fucking ignorant people back then eh".

So, what do you think about ocean acidification, then? Or do you believe that ANY change attributed to humans is alarmist nonsense?

Edit: and, uh, I don't think that anyone has ever argued that CO2 is more powerful than the sun.

OK, so, this is an obviously biased article. If it wasn't biased, they wouldn't have said "alarmist" quite so many times. Furthermore, all the article is saying is that NASA data states that the situation is less bad in one specific way than expected. Whichever side you fall on, this is hardly conclusive.

I mean, you could look at ocean acidification if you want something to worry about. I'd suggest that that is a lot more concerning than a human induced warming cycle (if there is one).

Aaannnnnnnnd..... CUT!

That's a wrap folks.

That article needs more "alarmist."

I love you farb, that second statement is rather profound now isnt it............................ co-winki-dink????

After is was NASA that was backing this shit up 2-4 years ago, now they are reversing trail???? Now that they cant go to space anymore, and all their funding is going to entitlement programs me thinks they are a little Miffed

Seriously? I mean, really, are you dead serious there or am I missing the sarcasm?

1. It's an economic downturn. About the only thing not hurting in government budget is the military.
2. NASA has had more funding since Obama took office than they did during any other single Bush year.
3. NASA hasn't changed their opinion. They've always thought the earth was warming, and they've never sided with the extremists in either camp.

I don't think Obama is a demigod, but if you want to go all conspiracy theory, at LEAST get it right. Obama is obviously PAYING NASA more money in order to get them in on the world wide conspiracy. Durrr.

You love all of our tinfoil hattery and you know it, you just cant openly admit to it yet is all :)

^ The real question is whether or not human actions have any correlation to the increase in recorded (last 150 years out of 4.5+ billion?????) temperature history.

Furthermore, does anyone see any link to NASA's standpoint, and the changes the Obama Administration has made to their funding and scope/direction?

"In short, the central premise of alarmist global warming theory is that carbon dioxide emissions should be directly and indirectly trapping a certain amount of heat in the earth's atmosphere and preventing it from escaping into space. Real-world measurements, however, show far less heat is being trapped in the earth's atmosphere than the alarmist computer models predict, and far more heat is escaping into space than the alarmist computer models predict.

When objective NASA satellite data, reported in a peer-reviewed scientific journal, show a "huge discrepancy" between alarmist climate models and real-world facts, climate scientists, the media and our elected officials would be wise to take notice. Whether or not they do so will tell us a great deal about how honest the purveyors of global warming alarmism truly are."

The only issue I take with articles like this is that most people see the world as black or white. While I can see grey, and I can see that this article is saying that the NASA evidence disputes the "Alarmists" models, the majority of the scientific community does believe the earth is warming, and none of them are "alarmists".

The scientific community agrees the earth is warming, the question and disagreement is over how much. That NASA can show evidence that the extremists are inaccurate is hardly surprising to me.

I was just coming over here to post this same story. +1

[slammin.e28]

Lulz....posted the OP Yahoo story on FB and here's what my friend said:

If we removed people like al gore (and most of Ca.) i think there would be a lot less greenhouse emissions from them running their mouths......

I lol'd.
