NASA and ExxonMobil Sitting In A Tree

NASA's Top Official Questions Global Warming

"I have no doubt that a trend of global warming exists," Griffin told Inskeep. "I am not sure that it is fair to say that it is a problem we must wrestle with."

"To assume that it is a problem is to assume that the state of Earth's climate today is the optimal climate, the best climate that we could have or ever have had and that we need to take steps to make sure that it doesn't change," Griffin said. "I guess I would ask which human beings — where and when — are to be accorded the privilege of deciding that this particular climate that we have right here today, right now is the best climate for all other human beings. I think that's a rather arrogant position for people to take"

First, whoever wrote the headline should be fired. He doesn't question global warming, as the first sentence shows. He just says we should ignore it.

Well I have to agree with you on the title as it perpetuates the myth that your side has created in regards to global warming being synonymous with anthropogenic global warming, but that notwithstanding the fact remains that ANOTHER leading expert has doubts about AGW all the while the commie chicken littles keep insisting the debate is over.

Is that the fat kid from Willy Wonka?

Well his perception that it was a harmless river of chocolatey goodness was indeed wrong when the truth of matter is that it was a deathtrap hiding in plainview.
