NASA Administrator Discusses Global Warming
Thursday, May 31st, 2007NASA administrator Michael Griffin made some comments during an NPR interview that I think are spot on regarding global warming. His comments are causing quite a stir amongst the many pro-global warming scientists employed by NASA. This is what he said
I have no doubt that a trend of global warming exists. 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. 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.
This line of thinking is in line with my own thoughts. Are we so proud as a people that we think we have enough power to change the plan and will of God? Things will happen as He chooses and I find rest in that assurance.
