NASA – was it responsible? | ScottishSceptic

What appears to have happened, is that NASA was given the money to buy scientific credibility, and in so doing, it funded a massive program of pseudo-scientific research trawling its data to provide media friendly publicity. NASA didn’t act alone, but it certainly had the funding and the need to promote these pseudo-sciences. NASA needed ecologists, not for the ecology, but in order to show that there was a “nice” reason and not just a military reason for all those space launches and satellites. NASA needed this research to provide a thin veneer of scientific credibility, just as much as the ecologists needed the free access the new satellite technology to prove how much damage we humans were doing.

When optical imagery was available, they started to map vegetative cover (presumably as a cover for all the military mapping), then, as infra-red became available, they began to build up pictures of the earth’s temperature adding to the data from ice-cores. NASA gave credibility to “pseudo-sciences” like ecology and climate “science”, that and NASA and other similar institutions like the Antarctic survey created a breeding ground for this “science” and that I believe is the root of the problem we face.
