back to article Climate-change skeptic lined up to run NASA in this Trump timeline

President Donald Trump this month nominated US House Rep James Bridenstine (R-OK) to be the next NASA administrator.

    This twunt is not a skeptic - he's a denier.

    Skeptics examine the evidence and base their conclusions on it.

      irrefutable proof of anything outside math - doesn't exist

      Try telling your boss you didn't get out of bed this morning because you couldn't prove you aren't a beetle dreaming that you're a sysadmin living in Woking

    Looking forward to the demise of the deniers getting steam rolled by a hurricane

    Title says it all. I won't be feeling sorry for the weak minded capitalist pigs who can't face reality. You will be reaping what you deserve. Look at the massive environmental destruction that happened with Harvey. Toxic waste all over the place from the refineries. And you numbskulls are all for it.

      "weak minded capitalist pigs who can't face reality..."

      well you are clearly a neo nazi so I guess denial comes with the territory.

      Only capitalist pig I knew was made of china, and you smaahed him when you needed a new cap gun

      Really. The 1960s are that way--->

      And te cold war ended with the complete collapse of an unworkable system. Communism.

      Get over it.

      The only legacy the Soviets left us was AgitProp and the Green movement that evolved out of the idea of nation destroying anti-nuclear protests into cultural Marxism which was designed to destroy nations by denying that anything had meaning.

      Eh, fuck you too. I suppose you don't drive so therefore your holiness doesn't need any fossil fuel. Go back to your hair shirt and candlelight, you're not achieving anything by wasting oxygen. Except as a foil that almost makes Bombastic Bob and Big John look clever in comparison.

    Man-made climate change argument lolz

    This chap doesn't seem such a bad choice. If he can fly to and from a rolling pitching deck and is suitably qualified to do so, he can head up NASA for a few years. Anyway since his skeptical stance is already clear the hippy faithful can keep watch on his actions.

    And, at the commentard who believes global temperatures correlate with atmospheric CO2 concentrations, please let us know the precise or approximate value, in Kelvins/ppmC02. Thanks.
