NASA can put a man on the moon, but the space agency can't tell you what the temperature was back then.
Maps from NASA's GISS reveal temperatures where no data exist, thanks to mathematical extrapolation of data.
ASA was able to put a man on the moon, but the space agency can't tell you what the temperature was when it did. By its own admission, NASA's temperature records are in even worse shape than the besmirched Climate-gate data.
E-mail messages obtained by a Freedom of Information Act request reveal that NASA concluded that its own climate findings were inferior to those maintained by both the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit (CRU) -- the scandalized source of the leaked Climate-gate e-mails -- and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Climatic Data Center.
The e-mails from 2007 reveal that when a USA Today reporter asked if NASA's data "was more accurate" than other climate-change data sets, NASA's Dr. Reto A. Ruedy replied with an unequivocal no. He said "the National Climatic Data Center's procedure of only using the best stations is more accurate," admitting that some of his own procedures led to less accurate readings.
Who cares about temperature data when we have the very real and present threat of tectonic implosion under our feet?
Now the government has called upon NASA to try and find scientific evidence of Toyota’s acceleration problem. I for one will be skeptical of the results when they can’t even record their thermometers correctly (or honestly).
