But of course NASA can't shut down that NASA agency because that agency is not part of NASA. Which makes one question the intelligence of NASA employees if they're demanding it.

Once again, climate.nasa.gov is not part of NASA and involves no NASA employees. In fact, a good number of NASA employees have demanded that NASA shut down the California Institute of Technology website because it detracts from the good work that NASA does.
Yes Ric, there a bunch of Republican astronauts and janitors that are very mad at NASA.
Yes, Ricter, don't you know? NASA is not reliable. Bunch of space cadets.
For the real science of "globull warming" you need to go with the petroleum geologists.
Let's help you remember some recent history...
NASA Global Warming Stance Blasted By 49 Astronauts, Scientists
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/11/nasa-global-warming-letter-astronauts_n_1418017.html
Is NASA playing fast and loose with climate change science? That's the contention of a group of 49 former NASA scientists and astronauts.
On March 28 the group sent a letter to NASA administrator Charles Bolden, Jr., blasting the agency for making unwarranted claims about the role of carbon dioxide in global warming, Business Insider reported.
"We believe the claims by NASA and GISS [NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies], that man-made carbon dioxide is having a catastrophic impact on global climate change are not substantiated, especially when considering thousands of years of empirical data," the group wrote. "With hundreds of well-known climate scientists and tens of thousands of other scientists publicly declaring their disbelief in the catastrophic forecasts, coming particularly from the GISS leadership, it is clear that the science is NOT settled."
The group features some marquee names, including Michael F. Collins, Walter Cunningham and five other Apollo astronauts, as well as two former directors of NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston.

Currently there is a bill in Congress to shut down all climate funding for NASA which requires that the climate.nasa.gov website be taken down. I am looking for to the next President signing it into law.
But of course NASA can't shut down that NASA agency because that agency is not part of NASA. Which makes one question the intelligence of NASA employees if they're demanding it.
They can shut off all NASA funding of this external university organization.... as per a current bill in Congress demands. This will also drive the removal of the climate.nasa.gov website.
Fun to watch them twist and squirm.Yes, Ricter, don't you know? NASA is not reliable. Bunch of space cadets.
For the real science of "globull warming" you need to go with the petroleum geologists.
Probably some petroleum geologists, working for ExxonMobil, have asked executive management to take down the company's website statement on manmade global warming, since the geologists are not part of media relations!
Most of NASA is "external". They're all over the country.They can shut off all NASA funding of this external university organization.... as per a current bill in Congress demands. This will also drive the removal of the climate.nasa.gov website.
So, the last time we were here...
Those pesky non-NASA employees at climate.NASA.gov must have hacked into nasa.gov!

Explain yourself....
Most of NASA is direct employees of NASA.
Over 1/2 of their budget however is projects contracted out to companies (that build space equipment like the shuttles & rovers) and universities for research.
NASA should strictly focus on their space mission. NASA should not be funding a university to provide climate research. Climate research is not the primary mission of NASA and clearly is outside their scope.
There is another federal agency that already covers weather and climate - it is NOAA. All "climate change" funding should be placed with NOAA.
The study is probably wrong. The bulk of the evidence and the best satellite data shows that the ice mass is decreasing.
It contradicts numerous prior scientific claims, including a 2012 study in Science by a small army of polar scientists, a study from earlier this year in Earth and Planetary Science Letters (which found 92 gigatons of net losses per year) and this 2014 study in Geophysical Research Letters (160 gigatons of net losses per year). It also contradicts assertions by the leading consensus body of climate science, the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which stated in 2013 that Antarctica is “losing mass” and that this process is accelerating. That statement was itself based on multiple studies showing Antarctic ice loss.

Except for those darn satellites they're putting up, to measure ice mass and Earth's energy budget, of course.NASA should strictly focus on their space mission. NASA should not be funding a university to provide climate research. Climate research is not the primary mission of NASA and clearly is outside their scope.
