Climate Change: The agency that put Americans on the moon can't tell you the temperature that day. It isn't returning to the moon, but it will fix the brakes on your car. Two senators want to know what's going on.
The scandal unfolding at the nation's space agency is worse than the climate scandal, where researchers with Britain's Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia manipulated, destroyed and doctored climate data so that it supported the preordained conclusion that climate change was an imminent threat caused by man.
If there is any doubt, just ask NASA.
E-mail messages obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request reveal that NASA concluded its own climate findings were inferior to the CRU analysis. In one e-mail from 2007, when a USA Today reporter asked if NASA's data "was more accurate," NASA's Dr. Reto Ruedy responded with an emphatic no.
"NASA's temperature data is worse than the Climate-gate temperature data. According to NASA," writes Christopher Horner, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute who uncovered the e-mails. Indeed, NASA's record shows it fudged data and cherry-picked data sources.
Concerned about the validity of NASA's climate research data, Sens. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., and David Vitter, R-La., sent a letter to space agency chief Charles Bolden demanding answers and inviting Bolden to testify to the Senate on the credibility of NASA's data.
"The American people deserve to learn the truth about the data," Barrasso told FoxNews.com. "We shouldn't make decisions affecting millions of American jobs when the data isn't credible."
Particularly when NASA is admitting it isn't.

Dude, no need to go POSTAL.
LOL!
FUHR!
P.S. Don’t call this Marine, Dude, dude>
Now for a calm response: HRZ, quit buying stamps...just quit. What can I say? I bust my ass to raise my family... If you don’t like the post office don’t buy stamps, pull your mail box down. We won’t deliver to you, unless someone you know sends you a parcel or a piece of Express Mail. You don’t have to answer the door, and we will send it back. You got ten days to pick it up.
Mind you, the post office is a psuedo government operation. We make our money off of 44 cent stamps. By law we cannot earn a profit. Why, you ask? We are controlled by congress.
Pull your mail box down. Send your next letter via FedEx, or UPS. We don’t want your business. I’m sure you’ll appreciate paying nine bucks to avoid the post office.
Asshats like you make it hard for conservatives like me (and 80% of the rank and file) to actually think of FreeRepublic as a serious forum for conservative talk, and communication.
The Competitive Enterprise Institute will be bestowing the Julian Simon Award on Steve McIntyre and Ross McKitrick for their efforts in debunking Mann's hockey stick at CEI's 2010 Dinner, June 17 at Hyatt Regency Capitol Hill 400 New Jersey Ave. NW Washington, DC 20001.
Ping.
Ping.
NASA needs to turn on Obama, bare its fangs.
You don't think the price would be nine bucks if competitors were allowed in, do you?
“NASA needs to turn on Obama...”
Invite him up for a never-ending spacewalk.
If I want to send a message to someone, I send an email. I make payments electronically, when possible. If I need to send something physical, I will use FED-ex or UPS
That is fine. Competition is great! I’ll bet FEDEX, or UPS can’t do it for 44 cents. Better yet try sending something to Guam....
Chill, dude.
