Seven Astronauts’ Lives Hang in Global Warming Balance
I have been wondering what on earth the problem is (well, maybe not ‘on earth’).
I found some information at Newsbusters that sheds light on the problems that NASA is having. I didn’t realize where the problems started, so I found this very informative. For those who did know, its good to be reminded because you can be sure this won’t be reported in the old media.
continued below ….
The screaming left is always going on about the lives that will be lost from the global warming boogeyman, yet I can’t find a single newspaper willing to confront the seven lives that may be lost on Wednesday because of it. You may recall how Clinton/Gore EPA regulations forced NASA to switch to a freon-free foam, one that doesn’t stick to the tanks, one that causes up to 11 times more damage to the life-saving thermal tiles, all in an effort to make the libs feel better about flying their personal jets across the globe. Ever since then we’ve had scare after tragedy every time a Shuttle launches.
A cursory look at Google News shows that the brave and enterprising journalists from American news organizations are completely unwilling to even mention this important story. It makes me wonder what Adolph Ochs, the publisher of the New York Times who created the journalistic oath to cover the news “without fear or favor”, would think of the state of journalism today. Show me the journalist with the courage to look the families of these astronauts in the face and tell them the science has already been decided.
Who knew? I didn’t.
