Not everyone is aware that the scientists and engineers who made the NASA space program successful disputed the global warming\/climate change narrative promoted at the agency by people like James Hansen.<\/p>\n\n\n

After all the slogan in the NASA workplace was that of Edward Deming, and they were only convinced by the facts rather than feelings or opinions about the future.\u00a0 Many of them formed the Right Climate Stuff Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n

In particular Walter Cunningham explained his reasoning in an article In Science, Ignorance is not Bliss.<\/strong><\/a> Excerpts in italics with my bolds and added images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NASA<\/strong> has played a key role in one of the greatest periods of scientific progress in history. It is uniquely positioned to collect the most comprehensive data on our biosphere.<\/strong>   For example, recently generated NASA data enabled scientists to finally understand the Gulf Stream warming mechanism and its effect on European weather. Such data will allow us to improve our models, resulting in better seasonal forecasts.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

NASA\u2019s Aqua satellite is showing that water vapor<\/strong>, the dominant greenhouse gas, works to offset the effect of carbon dioxide (CO2).<\/strong> This information, contrary to<\/strong> the assumption used in all the warming models<\/strong>, is ignored by global warming alarmists.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate understanding and critical decision making require
comprehensive data about our planet\u2019s land, sea, and atmosphere.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without an adequate satellite system to provide such data, policy efforts and monitoring international environmental agreements are doomed to failure. Our satellite monitoring capability is being crippled<\/strong> by interagency wrangling and federal budget issues. As much as a third of our satellites need replacing in the next couple of years.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NASA should be at the forefront<\/strong> in the collection of scientific evidence and debunking the current hysteria over<\/strong> human-caused, or Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW<\/strong>). Unfortunately<\/strong>, it is becoming just another agency caught up in the politics of global warming<\/strong>, or worse, politicized science.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advocacy is replacing objective evaluation of data, while
scientific data is being ignored in favor of emotions and politics.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are excellent correlations between the regular fluctuations of the Sun and the Earth\u2019s temperature,<\/strong> while scientists can not<\/strong> find a relationship between industrial activity, energy consumption, and global temperatures.<\/strong> But global warming is an issue no longer being decided in the scientific arena.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saying the Earth is warming is to state the obvious. Since the end of the ice age, the Earth\u2019s temperature has increased approximately 16 degrees Fahrenheit and sea levels have risen a total of 300 feet.<\/strong> That is certain and measurable evidence of warming, but it is not evidence of AGW<\/strong>\u2014human-caused warming.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

We can track the temperature of the Earth back for millennia.<\/strong> Knowing the temperature of the Earth, past or present, is a matter of collecting data, analyzing it, and coming up with the best answer to account for the data. Collecting such data on a global basis is a NASA forte. I believe in global climate change, but there is no way that humans can influence the temperature of our planet to any measurable degree with the tools currently at their disposal. Any human contribution to global temperature change is lost in the noise of terrestrial and cosmic factors.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our beautiful home planet has been warming and cooling for the last 4.8 billion years.<\/strong> Most recently, it has been warming\u2014be it ever so slightly\u2014but there is nothing unusual<\/strong> about it! The changes and rates of change in the Earth\u2019s temperature, just since the Industrial Revolution, have occurred many times in our climatic history.<\/strong> While climate scientists generally agree that the Earth\u2019s temperature is always changing, not many of them would say that humans are responsible for those changes.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

None of this is to say there are not legitimate reasons to restrict emissions of any number of chemicals<\/strong> into the atmosphere. We should just not fool ourselves into thinking we will change the temperature of the Earth by doing so.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a December 2007 Senate report, 400 prominent scientists signed a letter pointing out that climate change was a well-known natural phenomenon,<\/strong> and that adapting<\/strong> to it is far more sensible<\/strong> than attempting to prevent it. Their ranks included experts in<\/strong> climatology, geology, oceanography, biology, glaciology, biogeography, meteorology, economics, chemistry, mathematics, environmental sciences, engineering, physics, and paleo-climatology.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their message: When changes are gradual, man has
an almost infinite ability to adapt and evolve.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fearmongers of global warming base their case on the correlation between CO2 and global temperature<\/strong>, even though we cannot be sure which is cause and which is effect.<\/strong> Historically, temperature increases have preceded high CO2 levels,<\/strong> and there have been periods when atmospheric CO2 levels were as much as 16 times what they are now, periods characterized not by warming but by glaciation. You might have to go back half a million years to match our current level of atmospheric CO2, but you only have to go back to the Medieval Warming Period, from the 10th to the 14th Century, to find an intense global warming episode, followed immediately by the drastic cooling of the Little Ice Age.<\/strong> Neither<\/strong> of these events were caused by variations in CO2 levels.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Even though\u00a0CO2 is a relatively minor constituent of \u201cgreenhouse gases,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0alarmists have made it the whipping boy for global warming (probably because they know how\u00a0fruitless<\/strong>\u00a0it would be to propose\u00a0controlling<\/strong>\u00a0other principal constituents,\u00a0H2O, CH4, and N2O<\/strong>). Since human activity does contribute a tiny portion of atmospheric CO2, they blame us for global warming.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Other inconvenient facts ignored by the activists: Carbon dioxide is a nonpolluting gas, essential for plant photosynthesis<\/strong>. Higher concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere produce bigger harvests.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In spite of warnings of severe consequences from rising seas, droughts, severe weather, species extinction, and other disasters, the U.S. has not been stampeded into going along with<\/strong> the recommendations of the UN Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)\u2014so far.<\/strong> Even though evidence supports the American position, we have begun to show signs of caving in to the alarmists.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With scientific evidence going out of style,
emotional arguments and anecdotal data are ruling the day.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The media<\/strong> subjects us to one frightening image of environmental nightmare after another, linking each to global warming. Journalists and activist scientists<\/strong> use hurricanes, wildfires, and starving polar bears to appeal to our emotions, not to our reason. They are far more concerned with anecdotal observations<\/strong>, such as the frozen sea ice inside the Arctic Circle, than<\/strong> they are with understanding why<\/strong> it is happening and how frequently it has occurred in the past.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After warnings that 2007 would be the hottest year<\/strong> on record and a record year for hurricanes, what we experienced was the coolest year since 2001<\/strong> and, by some measures, the most benign hurricane season<\/strong> in the Northern Hemisphere in three decades.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though recent changes<\/strong> in our atmosphere are all within the bounds of the Earth\u2019s natural variability,<\/strong> a growing number of people are willing to throw away trillions of dollars on fruitless solutions. Why<\/strong> do we allow emotional appeals and anecdotal data to shape our conclusions and influence our expenditures<\/strong> with the science and technology we have available at our fingertips?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The situation is complex, but the sad state of scientific literacy<\/strong> in America today is partially to blame for belief in AGW. When a 2006 National Science Foundation survey found 25 percent of Americans not knowing the Earth revolves around the Sun, you know that science education is at a new low and society is vulnerable to the emotional appeal of AGW.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And don\u2019t underestimate the role of politics and political correctness.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The public debate should focus on the real cause of global temperature change and whether we can do anything about it. Is global warming a natural inevitability, or is it AGW\u2014human caused?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The conflict over AGW has deteriorated into a religious war<\/strong>; a war between true believers in human-caused global warming and nonbelievers<\/strong>; between those who accept AGW on faith and those who consider themselves more sensible and better informed. \u201cTrue believers\u201d are beyond being interested in evidence; it is impossible to reason a person out of positions they have not been reasoned into.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It doesn\u2019t help that NASA scientist James Hansen<\/strong> was one of the early alarmists claiming humans caused global warming. Hansen is a political activist who spreads fear even when NASA\u2019s own data contradict him.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warming in the upper atmosphere should occur before any surface warming effect,<\/strong> but NASA\u2019s own data show<\/strong> that has not<\/strong> been happening<\/strong>. Global temperature readings\u2014accurate to 0.1 degree Celsius\u2014are gathered by orbiting satellites. Interestingly, in the 18 years those satellites have been recording global temperatures, they have actually shown a slight decrease in average temperatures.<\/em><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hansen is currently calling for a reduction of atmospheric CO2<\/strong> by 10 percent and a moratorium on coal-fired power plants, while claiming the Bush administration is censoring him. Other so-called scientists are saying the world must bring carbon emissions to near zero to keep temperatures from rising.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In today\u2019s politically correct environment, many are reluctant to dispute the popular wisdom; when they do, they are frequently ignored. When NASA Administrator Michael Griffin, Hansen\u2019s boss<\/strong> and a distinguished scientist in his own right, attempted to draw a distinction between Hansen\u2019s personal and political views and the science conducted by his agency, he was soon forced to back off.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is the true believers who, when they have no facts on their side, try to silence their critics. When former NASA mathematician Ferenc Miskolczi<\/strong> pointed out that \u201cgreenhouse warming\u201d may be mathematically impossible, NASA would not allow him to publish his work. Miskolczi dared to question the simplifying assumption in the warming model that the atmosphere is infinitely thick.<\/strong> He pointed out that when you use the correct thickness\u2014about 65 miles\u2014the greenhouse effect disappears! Ergo: no AGW. Miskolczi resigned in disgust and published his proof in the peer reviewed Hungarian journal Weather. <\/em>[See: The Curious Case of Dr. Miskolczi<\/strong><\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For nearly a decade now, there has been no global warming.<\/strong> Even though atmospheric CO2 has continued to accumulate\u2014up about 4 percent in the last 10 years<\/strong>\u2014the global mean temperature has remained flat. That should raise obvious questions about CO2 being the cause of climate change.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, AGW enthusiasts are embracing more regulation, greater government spending, and higher taxes in a futile attempt to control what is beyond our control\u2014the Earth\u2019s temperature<\/strong>. One of their political objectives, unstated of course, is the transfer of wealth from rich nations to poor nations or, as the social engineers put it, from the North to the South, which may be their real agenda.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"
Climate Lemmings<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

In the face of overwhelming evidence for natural temperature variation, proponents of AGW are resorting to a precautionary argument:<\/strong> \u201cWe must do something just in case we are responsible, because the consequences are too terrible if we are to blame and do nothing.\u201d They hope to stampede government<\/strong> entities into committing huge amounts of money before their fraud is completely exposed<\/strong>\u2014before science and truth save the day.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politicians think they can reverse global warming by stabilizing CO2 emissions with a cockamamie scheme of \u201ccap and trade.\u201d<\/strong> A government entity would sell CO2 allocations to those industries producing it. The trillions of dollars in new taxes and devastation to the economy would be justified by claiming it will lower the temperature of the Earth. This rationalization is dependent on two assumptions: (1) that CO2 is responsible<\/strong> for the cause of changes in the Earth\u2019s temperature, and (2) a warmer Earth would be bad for humanity.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The reality is that atmospheric CO2 has a minimal impact on greenhouse gases and world temperature. Water vapor is responsible for 95 percent of the greenhouse effect.<\/strong> CO2 contributes just 3.6 percent, with human activity responsible for only 3.2 percent of that. That is why some studies claim CO2 levels are largely irrelevant<\/strong> to global warming.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without the greenhouse effect to keep our world warm, the planet would have an average temperature of minus 18 degrees Celsius. Because we do have it, the temperature is a comfortable plus 15 degrees Celsius. Based on the seasonal and geographic distribution of any projected warming, a good case can be made that a warmer average temperature would be even more beneficial for humans.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

For a tiny fraction of the trillions of dollars<\/strong> a cap-and-trade system would eventually cost the United States, we could pay for development of clean coal, oil-shale recovery systems, and nuclear power, and have enough left over to pay for exploration of our solar system.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By law, NASA cannot involve itself in politics, but it can surely champion the role of science to inform politicians. With so many uninformed and misguided politicians ignoring the available science, NASA should fill the void.<\/strong> NASA is synonymous with science. Allowing our priorities to drift away from hard science is tantamount to embracing decadence. NASA will surely suffer; and politicizing science is killing it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do see hopeful signs that some true believers are beginning to harbor doubts about AGW. Let\u2019s hope that NASA can focus the global warming discussion back on scientific evidence before we perpetrate an economic disaster on ourselves.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
