Hot enough for ya?
Some more related to the NASA post below:
At a time when global warming has become an overriding issue, NASA has been delaying or canceling programs that could shed light on how the climate changes. The shortsighted cutbacks appear to result from sharply limiting NASA’s budget while giving it hugely expensive tasks like repairing the stricken shuttle fleet, finishing construction of the space station, and preparing to explore the Moon and Mars.
...
The agency has canceled a deep space observatory to monitor solar radiation, water vapor, clouds, aerosols and other things important to climate change. It has delayed a mission with Japan to measure global precipitation, decided not to pay for a mission to measure soil moisture around the world, and reduced the money available to analyze data. Under Congressional pressure, the agency has reinstated a mission to study aerosols and solar radiation from orbit. But it has little money to do much else in coming years. A National Academy of Sciences panel warned that the nation’s system of environmental satellites was “at risk of collapse.”

Everyone knows that global warming is just a theory, like the theories of The Depression and that the world is round and revolves around the sun, said theories having been cooked up by a bunch of pinko commie liberals intent on depriving us red-blooded Americans of our right to own bazookas and contaminate our precious bodily fluids.
