Global Warming Comments

(Fox News) - NASA Administrator Michael Griffin is apologizing for comments he made last week that global warming may not be a problem that requires human intervention — but he's not saying he was wrong.

Griffin was soundly ripped by many scientists who believe human activity causes climate change and that it is very dangerous. Griffin said earlier this week in a closed-door meeting at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena that he was sorry for airing his personal views —"Unfortunately, this is an issue which has become far more political than technical and it would have been well for me to have stayed out of it."

Griffin said it is NASA's job to provide scientific evidence about global warming — and leave the decisions about what to do with it up to policymakers.
