"It is instructive to recall the objectives for NASA that emerged in section 102 of the final Space Act:
You would have to bastardize the above objectives to make "researching and formulating opinions on climate change" something legitimate that NASA should be doing. I am not denying that the agency has been politicized and as such, other departments were created within NASA. But they are a serious distraction from their original purpose.
Look, I don't think iPhone makers should only be growing apples in Washington. Your tactic of hyperbole lead to your claims. NASA's name, a government agency, along with the objectives stated for it above, was never intended to do the work it is doing on climate shit.
"No one is saying there is consensus!"
And as I have always said, talk to a geologist about global warming:
The point is that EVERYTHING is a political opportunity. Most people fail to recognize it for what it is.
And to the fella posting just above: From your own link, the goal of GISS was this: Research areas included the structure of Earth, Moon, and other planetary bodies; the atmospheres of Earth and the other planets; the origin and evolution of the solar system; the properties of interplanetary plasma; Sun-Earth relations; and the structure and evolution of stars.
And here is an old ass opinion article that blows up what GISS has been turned into. https://www.forbes.com/sites/larrybe.../#2df08c536963
You guys are so stuck up each other's asses it is just gross.
"It is instructive to recall the objectives for NASA that emerged in section 102 of the final Space Act:
- The expansion of human knowledge of phenomena in the atmosphere and space;
- The improvement of the usefulness, performance, speed, safety, and efficiency of aeronautical and space vehicles;
- The development and operation of vehicles capable of carrying instruments, equipment, supplies, and living organisms through space;
- The establishment of long-range studies of the potential benefits to be gained from, the opportunities for, and the problems involved in the utilization of aeronautical and space activities for peaceful and scientific purposes;
- The preservation of the role of the United States as a leader in aeronautical and space science and technology and in the application thereof to the conduct of peaceful activities within and outside the atmosphere;
- The making available to agencies directly concerned with national defense of discoveries that have military value or significance, and the furnishing by such agencies, to the civilian agency established to direct and control nonmilitary aeronautical and space activities, of information as to discoveries which have value or significance to that agency;
- Cooperation by the United States with other nations and groups of nations in work done pursuant to this Act and in the peaceful application of the results thereof;
- The most effective utilization of the scientific and engineering resources of the United States, with close cooperation among all interested agencies of the United States in order to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort, facilities and equipment"
