NASA decides? NASA doesn't have a brain (no need to take the bait Uncle Al).
This is right up there is guns don't kill people ... people kill people.
A gun, without human intervention can not kill a person. And it is people, the Administrators running NASA that make decisions. Especially when it comes to matters of budget. And every one of those administrators serves at the pleasure of the sitting President George W. Bush.
the president can fire and hire the head of NASA, but only after much more political debate than even you have done here. even more than you have tried to do.
he has to choise the person from a set of canidates that is acceptable to loads of people. Once he has hired him, he still cant do a lot about the day to day things NASA does. If the guy that is in the office does something the president doesnt like, he would have a hard time taking him to task about it.
the current head was only appointed in april 05 so he has not been the one to fund most of the studies about global warming.
just because the president does not believe in global warming, that does not mean other members of his dont.
