From NASA Administrator Not Sure Global Warming A Problem:
Michael Griffin NASA Administrator has told America’s National Public Radio that while he has no doubt a trend of global warming exists “I am not sure that it is fair to say that it is a problem we must wrestle with.”
In an interview with NPR’s Steve Inskeep that will air in Thursday’s edition of NPR News’ Morning Edition, Administrator Griffin explains: “I guess I would ask which human beings - where and when - are to be accorded the privilege of deciding that this particular climate that we have right here today, right now is the best climate for all other human beings. I think that’s a rather arrogant position for people to take.”
[sarcastic expression of outrage]
[several well chosen factual points to highlight the absurdity of Griffin’s claims]
[mini-rant about the on-going anti-science crusade of the Bush Administration]
[bitterly funny and sarcastic comment about how much trouble we’re in and how we’re whistling past the graveyard]
[sit in corner of office and weep uncontrollably for 10 minutes, then get back to work–this world ain’t gonna save itself]

I think it was Bobby Kennedy who said, “If not us, who? If not now, when?” I guess he was in the wrong party for the speaker, which says something about the inverse.

And as James Hansen, who ironically enough works for NASA, has said, “Do we not know enough to say more?”.
I like the RFK quote better, though.
