 Don't talk about the weather
The New York Times reports
that NASA headquarters ordered its scientists to keep their mouths shut
about questions arising from the upcoming climate-change blockbuster
"The Day After Tomorrow" (with someone named Claude Laforce playing "UN Norwegian diplomat").
"No one from NASA is to do interviews or otherwise comment on anything
having to do with" the film, said the April 1 message, which was sent
by Goddard's top press officer. "Any news media wanting to discuss
science fiction vs. science fact about climate change will need to seek
comment from individuals or organizations not associated with NASA."
The Times also reports that the space agency has called off the
dogs and will now let its experts talk about climate stuff. Maybe that
has something to do with some research results published last week on
NASA's own site, "Satellite Thermometers Show Earth Has a Fever."
Keep it cute like that, so no one will get the idea that increased
temperatures have anything to do with well, anything.
