"NASA Chief: ‘No Reason To Dismiss’ Recent UN Climate Report" [1]

"The head of NASA bucked President Trump this week, saying that he sees no reason to reject the findings of a major climate change report from the United Nations.

Trump previously said he would review the dire report issued this month by the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, but he was also skeptical of it.

“It was given to me, and I want to look at who drew it,” he said. “Because I can give you reports that are fabulous, and I can give you reports that aren’t so good.”

By contrast, NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine, whose agency is at the forefront of studying climate change, said he accepts the report’s findings."
