NASA’s Aqua satellite is showing that water vapor, the dominant greenhouse gas, works to offset the effect of carbon dioxide (CO2). This information, contrary to the assumption used in all the warming models, is ignored by global warming alarmists.
Climate understanding and critical decision making require comprehensive data about our planet’s land, sea, and atmosphere. 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 by interagency wrangling and federal budget issues. As much as a third of our satellites need replacing in the next couple of years.
NASA should be at the forefront in the collection of scientific evidence and debunking the current hysteria over human-caused, or Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW). Unfortunately, it is becoming just another agency caught up in the politics of global warming, or worse, politicized science. Advocacy is replacing objective evaluation of data, while scientific data is being ignored in favor of emotions and politics.

You have nailed indeed. Science be damned.
Hey look, if someone gives you a $500,000 grant to research something called “global warming” You’d better by God to find them some global warming. Otherwise you’ll never see another $500,000 grant.
Thus a new permutation on the golden rule of art and science.
This may be the tipping point where the published science starts to turn even earl supporters. Hansen will be hanging on to Gores feet when the AGW Titanic goes down
NASA is not a single entity. Hansen’s GISS may be wholly corrupt, but other areas of the agency are less politicized and more focused on the pursuit of scientific truth. The question is whether the scientists will have the courage to jump into the fray. The evidence against AGW theory is mounting. Evidence favoring the theory is limited to anecdotes, unproven (and faulty) computer simulations, and outright deception.
I would think that this should be NOAA. Not NASA.
NASA's Aqua satellite is showing that water vapor, the dominant greenhouse gas, works to offset the effect of carbon dioxide (CO2). This information, contrary to the assumption used in all the warming models, is ignored by global warming alarmists.That's because CO2 is actually a COOLING effect, which means that the water vapor is causing EVEN MORE anthropogenic warming!!! There are BEELIONS and BEELIONS of PEER-REVIEWED STUDIES!!!!!! /sarc

NASA can burnish its somewhat tarnished image considerably by simply getting rid of that fruitcake Hansen, and limiting its earthbound role to providing remote sensor information.
Leave the analysis or political posturing to the usual moonbat advocate groups --- or to scientists with no axe to grind.
Oh yes, and dump the models.
Fire *expletive deleted* Hansen!
Interesting and somewhat cheering; thanks for the ping! Unfortunately, the professional scolds of the political left won’t let this stop them from trying to ruin the lives of everybody else.
