Yesterday I took a video crew to the Earth Day Festival in Santa Cruz, California.  I chose this location because this city is known for being a model of greenness, and even maintains Department of Climate Change, complete with a director making $250,000 per year.

While the “mainstream” media is quick to spew out that the “majority of scientists believe in anthropogenic climate change,” (even though that  percentage was garnered from a mysterious poll of only 77 people), it’s interesting to note how they have not covered this story: a number of significant NASA scientists, including seven astronauts, have publically stated in a letter to NASA’s administrator, that they are not fans of the man-caused global warming theory, and they would like NASA to quit wasting government money hyping the scam. NASA is an agency that has...
