NASA-astronauten Walter Cunningham (från bl a Apollo 7) angriper NASA för vad - iaf delar av - organisationen sysslat med inom klimatpolitiken. Det har funnits en viss James Hansen som drivit NASA mot klimatextremism. Nu har iofs Hansen lämnat organisationen...för att ägna sig åt klimataktivism på heltid, men förmodligen finns det i bagaget att han varit och är hårt kritiserad. Bl a har Hansen sysslat med "normering" i NASAs temperaturdatabas, som märkligt nog alltid, alltid betytt att han skrivit *upp* temperaturer. Cunningham: http://joannenova.com.au/2013/08/nasa-apollo-astronaut-walter-cunningham-laments-nasa-and-science/#more-29978 "I have watched the high standards of science being violated by a few influential climate scientists, including some at NASA, while special interest opportunists have abused our public trust. Many of NASAs retirees have grown increasingly concerned that GISS, a NASA organization located in a midtown Manhattan office building, was allowing its science to be politicized, compromising their credibility. Our concern, beyond damage to the NASAs exemplary reputation, was damage to their current or former scientists and employees, and even compromising the reputation of science itself. We developed a letter to NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden and obtained signatures from seven Apollo astronauts, several former Headquarters managers and Center directors, and 40 former management-level technical specialists. We asked that he restrain NASA from including unproven claims in public releases and on websites. Statements by NASA that man-made carbon dioxide was having a catastrophic impact on global climate change are not substantiated, especially when considering thousands of years of empirical data. It is clear that the science is NOT settled. James Hansen was an embarrassment and disgrace to the agency. Understanding global climate and what, if anything, humans can do to affect it are scientific questions that can be answered only by honest science and scientific data. Yet, global warming alarmists invariably try to make their case through rhetoric, dogma, opinion, and emotion." --Ahrvid -- ahrvid@xxxxxxxxxxx / Be an @SFJournalen Twitter Follower for all the latest news in short form! / Gå med i SKRIVA - för författande, sf, fantasy, kultur (skriva-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, subj: subscribe) info www.skriva.bravewriting.com - delta i vår novelltävling! / Om Ahrvids novellsamling Mord på månen: www.zenzat.se/zzfaktasi.html C Fuglesang: "stor förnöjelse...jättebra historier i mycket sannolik framtidsmiljö"!
