The last NASA administrator who did lost his job. Hansen was his name he said he could not keep quiet with the information at hand, despite White House Lawyers telling him to shut up.
Erik No surprise there. The emperor is not wearing any clothes, and neither,
apparently, are his minions. Griffin wouldn't have a job if he didn't tow the administration's line that there's no problem.

The following just arrived from NASA Hq. I have not seen the NPR release it refers to.
Anyone seen the NPR release in question or know what this is all about?

RELEASE: 07-125
STATEMENT IN RESPONSE TO INQUIRIES RELATED TO NPR PRESS RELEASE
NASA Administrator Michael Griffin responded Wednesday to inquiries related to a National Public Radio press release. The radio network's release contained excerpts from an interview that included comments on global climate change.
"NASA is the world's preeminent organization in the study of Earth and the conditions that contribute to climate change and global warming. The agency is responsible for collecting data that is used by the science community and policy makers as part of an ongoing discussion regarding our planet's evolving systems. It is NASA's responsibility to collect, analyze and release information. It is not NASA's mission to make policy regarding possible climate change mitigation strategies. As I stated in the NPR interview, we are proud of our role and I believe we do it well."
