CLIMATE CHANGE SKEPTIC BRIDENSTINE TELLS NASA HE BELIEVES IN HUMAN-CAUSED GLOBAL WARMING BY MEGHAN BARTELS ON 5/17/18 AT 1:16 PM Less than a month into his new job, NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine spent an hour on Thursday addressing questions from his new employees, including many that touched on concerns raised publicly during his confirmation process. Included was a question tackling whether he believed that climate change is happening and being exacerbated by human activities, as scientific consensus states. After he addressed his background and qualifications for leading the agency, Thursday's town hall immediately turned to the issue. Bridenstine tried to assuage staffers' concerns, saying that he does believe in climate change. "Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas," he said during Thursday's town hall. "That greenhouse gas is warming the planet—that is absolutely happening, and we are responsible for it." That's a break from Bridenstine's previous comments on the topic. In 2013, as a congressman, he referred to an alleged pause in temperature increases that began 10 years prior. (On Thursday, he said that claim was based on information provided on his new agency's website, though that may represent a misunderstanding of complicated science.) During his confirmation hearings, Bridenstine said that climate change is real and caused by humans, though he waffled on precisely how much responsibility humans shouldered. newsweek.com
