The global warming phenomenon is real, but the Carbon dioxide cause for it, invented by the global "climatologist" community, is a joke. Also, the targets for sales of the compact fluorescent bulbs have been reached, and the latest research is finding them to be more dangerous due to UV emissions.
So, NASA needs the money to come up with a different plausible cause for the global warning, which will, no doubt, result in more of our money being flushed down the drain by adopting some other global warming-reducing lifestyle changes.
