NASA Needs a Rocket up the Arse.

Thanks to Yan Golanski for this link to Daily Tech. Seeing stuff like the below it is worth remembering that NASA is just as corrupt and bureaucratic as the IPCC. Remember, NASA still employs that lunatic Hansen who has been claiming 20ft and 80ft sea-level rises even when the IPCC could see that bit of alarmism was starting to sink. Here we go:

NASA refused to release the results. Miskolczi believes their motivation is simple. "Money", he tells DailyTech. Research that contradicts the view of an impending crisis jeopardizes funding, not only for his own atmosphere-monitoring project, but all climate-change research. Currently, funding for climate research tops $5 billion per year.

Miskolczi resigned in protest, stating in his resignation letter, "Unfortunately my working relationship with my NASA supervisors eroded to a level that I am not able to tolerate. My idea of the freedom of science cannot coexist with the recent NASA practice of handling new climate change related scientific results."

Why single out NASA? AGW is a full blown global industry.

Oh I'll get round to others as and when, if I can be bothered.

Leaving aside the whole AGW industry, it it weren't for NASA we'd have been to Mars long ago - maybe even have been on our way to the stars. Appalling Statist idiots.
