NASA’s chief idiot Michael Griffin on climate change
Author: martin3 Jun
Derrick Jackson of the Boston Globe compares NASA chief Michael Griffin’s astoundingly ignorant comments this week to the situation Rachel Carson faced when trying to warn of the long term dangers of DDT back in the 60s. Then it was chemical companies blithely assuring us of the wonders of pesticides. Today it is Bush appointed lackeys undermining the efforts of real scientists.
The pattern here is one that the Bush machine has used effectively since 9/11: Muddy the discussion with misleading statements and proposals that are designed to slow any progress. The recent disruption of G8 talks on cutting emissions by an undefined ‘plan’ announced by Bush is a prime example.

Oh. My. God. The lunatics really are running the asylum, e.g. lunatics=Presidential Appointees and the Asylum=The Bush Administration.
What really appalls me is the ignorant and immoral sensitivity to the consequences of anthropogenic climate change on the poor around the world. The lives and livelihoods of hundreds of millions are at risk. His arrogance is revolting. That he is heading up one of the most important agencies on the planet working on this critical challenge is incredibly demoralizing.
Of course enraging, demoralizing, and alienating the rest of the world is what the Bush Administration does best.
