One article that I have linked directly below is about NASA's warning that California has one year of water left as the state faces more drought. I want to point out that this is a warning that is made regarding the weather and the climate by NASA scientists. I want to also point out that we haven't heard from people on the GOP side complaining about this warning. We have not heard this is nonsense, there's no drought and there's no water shortage.
Contrast that with the second article linked below which points out how the GOP is objecting to NASA's focus on global warming. Notice that Ted Cruz wants NASA to 'explore space' and not do 'Earth Science'.
Recapping:
- California drought/water prediction and warning by NASA which includes data on the climate is okay.
- Global warming focus by NASA which includes climate data is not okay and let us not forget the vigorous way that the GOP denies global warming to begin with.
Call it cherry picking NASA as needed.
