Newsweek: “Climate change denying Republican Congressman Jim Bridenstine of Oklahoma has been tapped by President Donald Trump to head NASA—now a bipartisan group of Senators say he is in for a rocky confirmation hearing.”
“’The head of NASA ought to be a space professional, not a politician,’ Democratic Senator Bill Nelson told Politico in a statement early this month.”
“Like Trump, Bridensteine is an outspoken critic of climate science.”
“’Global temperatures stopped rising 10 years ago,’ Bridenstine said in a 2013 speech on the House floor.”
“Climate scientists refute his claims.”
