Rush Limbaugh applauds Griffin’s global warming comments

“This is pretty big news here. The NASA administrator, Michael Griffin, I don’t know if this guy is a dittohead or not, but if not, he could be. … Michael Griffin, NASA administrator appeared on NPR and he told them that while he has no doubt that a trend of global warming exists, quote, “I’m not sure it’s fair to say it’s a problem we have to wrestle with.” In an interview with NPR’s Steve Inskeep that aired today, administrator Griffin said, “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.”

“That is a brilliant point. As long as the Earth has been around, billions and billions of years, who are we to say that the way it is right now is perfection for everybody on the planet. This drills one of the biggest holes in the whole hoax of global warming that there is. The vanity, the assumption that the Earth as it is now is precisely perfect, has been, should be, and that any change from this point is bad and that we are causing it, how do we know that the so-called perfect climate of the Earth is now, for all the people of the planet? How do we know that the climate 30 years ago or a hundred years ago — the point is, there is no perfect climate because it’s always changing. The Earth is constantly heating and cooling. To arbitrarily say, “Today,” when we have this political/religious issue that we’re trying to infuse everybody’s minds with, “this is perfect, any change from here is bad,” when nobody can possibly know this.”
