Default Flat Earther and AGW Denier to head nasa into obscurity.

Pavlov republicans vote for trumpet's nomination.

Any plans to return to kindergarten for basic science lessons and management classes described as "fake news" by trumpet's twitter headline monologue.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...888_story.html

It is confirmed that he will get his own gold plated, Space Invaders arcade machine for his plush, newly built office in sprawling, colonial mansion style. Said to cost in the region of several billion dollars allowing for private 'phone cubicles in every office and weapons grade file shredders in every corner. Not to mention a 17 room private suite entirely decorated and furnished with original Louis 14th wallpaper and furniture. Priceless Great masters, confiscated from national museums,l will adorn the walls.

The private parkland surrounding his private office complex are to be landscaped to Capability Brown standards with newly formed lakes and hills. Specimen, fully mature trees will be brought in from all round the world and established by a tea, of cough terrorformers.

Endangered wild animal species will roam free for his own private shooting parties to enjoy at their leisure during cough work time breaks and extended holidays. A brand new, trumpet class, private golf course will be established, entirely at nasa's expense and overlooking the ocean, for the exclusive use of his fellow republicans.

AGW denier, yes, but not even a young-earth Creationist, never mind a flat-earther.

Certainly a science denier though even if he is keen on space
exploration. Rubio voted for him whilst holding his nose.

Odd choice for NASA - lets see what sort of mess he makes of it.

Pity that Flake flaked out and voted to put him into post.
(seems to have been via a backroom deal over Cuba travel)

There is no difference between denying AGW and being a flat-earther
(or a young Earth creationist, or an anti-vaxxer). The mentality is
identical.

Once a person is willing to accept as true that which is objectively
false, they have failed intellectually and certainly don't belong in
any position of authority.

As opposed to what NASA has fallen into in the hands of liberals? This reminds me (at a large scale) of what happened to a large science-education center in Toronto. When it started, it was all about the important things, math, biology, physics, chemistry, transportation, electricity. Now, it's turned into a horror of anthropology, sociology, global warming propaganda. Nowhere is there any emphasis on what DRIVES this world, which is what they had before. A chimp in NASA now would do a better job than what has been..

NASA's charter, from day one, has been split between researching the
Earth and researching space. Between looking down and looking up. And
for the most part, it's done a pretty good job of that regardless of
the administration it has operated under, because for the most part,
it has had good leadership, and has not operated with any significant
political bias.

Until now, it has never been lead by somebody who denies scientific
fact.

Physics at an experimental is fine by and large but astrophysics is an effin joke as it is based on RA/Dec - a calendar scaffolding where one year does not equate to one orbit of the Earth.

Just a strange group of people who are unable to see where timekeeping for relative motions such as space flight can be retained but completely hopeless for modeling motions, solar system structure and particularly cause and effect between the Earth's motions and terrestrial sciences.

Lazy and stupid within the walls of NASA, moderated forums or any institution, a lot of work to do and nobody around to do it.

This is complete bull plop. There are many points about AGW that are
questionable to anyone with an open mind.

Anyone who is willing to accept ANY theory without critical thought is
just a groupie and a bootlicker. It's even worse when such folk use
personal attacks and brown-shirt tactics to quell any opposition to
their shaky position.

Yeah. Like the kind of feedback clouds provide. Not the fact that the
Earth is warming dramatically and the cause is the human release of
fossil carbon into the atmosphere. That isn't questioned at all,
except by flat-earthers like yourself.

Unsubstantiated assertion. Correlation doesn't necessarily imply
causation.

See? You resort to Nazi tactics instead of cogent discussion. You
violate many admonishments from Sagan's baloney detection kit:

https://www.brainpickings.org/2014/0...it-carl-sagan/

Things one shouldn't do:
1. Ad hominem attacks
2. Argument from authority
3. Argument from adverse consequences
12. Post hoc, ergo propter hoc

Things you should do:
2. Encourage substantive debate
4. Spin more than one hypothesis
5. NIH
9. Falsifiability

One can only conclude that YOU are full of baloney :-)
