NASA Official's Take on Global Warming

NASA administrator, Michael Griffin, had a very interesting take on the Global Warming theory... one which I never ever thought of before.

Per ABC News website:

Griffin is asked whether he is concerned about global warming.

"I have no doubt that a trend of global warming exists," Griffin told Inskeep. "I am not sure that it is fair to say that it is a problem we must wrestle with."

"To assume that it is a problem is to assume that the state of Earth's climate today is the optimal climate, the best climate that we could have or ever have had and that we need to take steps to make sure that it doesn't change," Griffin said. "I guess I would ask which human beings — where and when — are to be accorded the privilege of deciding that this particular climate that we have right here today, right now is the best climate for all other human beings. I think that's a rather arrogant position for people to take."

That's a really good observation. How do we know this is the Earth's optimal climate? It may be ours, but it may not be the best for the planet. And isn't that what the Global Warming theorists are telling us, that its for the planet's health?

In the end, how do we really know what is optimal for our planet? Just how arrogant are we to think we know that when we don't even know all of the plant life and marine life that even exists here? And how egocentric have we become to think that we're the greatest influence on the earth's climate?

Anyway, as I've said before, I think we do impact the planet. We live here, after all. But this Global Warming agenda seems much more political in nature than truly scientific.

I think we'll look back on this phase the same way that we look back on doctors who thought leeches cured diseases. We'll be like "well, nice try, but what the hell were you thinking?"
