What a load of Crap. Earth bears scars of human destruction: Astronaut

I am absolutely dumbfounded at the level of stupidity of this statement, and of this person who actually thought this was newsworthy.  It is probably just a perception but I think the wind is blowing harder on Mars today than it did last time I thought about it never ago.  It is probably just a perception but I have this feeling and emotion that says that the moon is farther away than it was yesterday. 

BLAH.  Garbage. Foul corruption masquerading as intelligent thought and reportage. 

And the Sheeple say BAAA BAAAAA  he is an  ass-tro-naught he is  baa …SmArT.  Baa… He said the polar ice caps are  baa… smaller..baaa…he has them baa baa bionic eyes that can measure inches of ice…baa baa…and a computer cyber baa..brain that can remember to the nth degree what he SAW 12 YEARS AGO. baa baaa   I could actually try to make logical arguments to why someone might perceive this, but WHY BOTHER, anyone who reads this and thinks it is meaningful in anyway is a seriously lacking in critical thinking skills.  What kind of idiocy is this? 

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (Reuters) – A Canadian astronaut aboard the International Space Station said on Sunday it looks like Earth's ice caps have melted a bit since he was last in orbit 12 years ago.

Bob Thirsk, who is two months into a planned six-month stay aboard the station, said he is mostly in awe when he looks out the window, particularly at the sliver of atmosphere wrapped around the planet.

"It's a very thin veil of atmosphere around the Earth that keeps us alive," Thirsk said during an in-flight news conference. "Most of the time when I look out the window I'm in awe. But there are some effects of the human destruction of the Earth as well."

"This is probably just a perception, but I just have the feeling that the glaciers are melting, the snow capping the mountains is less than it was 12 years ago when I saw it last time," Thrisk said. "That saddens me a little bit."

Actually, subarctic ice melt (which is a key indicator for how cld an upcoming winter will be has had the slowest melting rate since the 70's. That's why it has been so cold in New England, and so hot in Texas. The colder air, that sits over the cold ice is more dense than the warm air trying to push it. the result is that the heat has been bottled up in Texas while New England has had a record cool spring and early summer. That pattern is breaking now, but that is something that usually happens in May, not at the end of July. There is not much more melting time left before the sun angle is too low and the Ice sheets expand again. In laymans terms, lots of people, especially New England are going to have a monster winter. If one more thing happens that will cool the waters off the New England coastline, It may be the coldest winter in my lifetime for that area. And these are the people we put on the space station? I supported the space station until I heard that, now I say we set it in a decaying orbit so that next year on the 4th of July we get the biggest fireworks show ever.

Gosh, it was my dream to work for NASA. Now that I see they're putting up complete and utter morons, I fear I'm too smart to qualify. I mean, he didn't know the atmosphere around the earth, which is about 70 miles compared to a diameter of 8,000 miles, was a thin veil. I'm shocked that he knew the atmosphere kept us alive. What saddens me is I fear we're sending up affrimative action hires and getting what we deserve: stupid morons making stupid statements. I just hope it's not that way with the management and engineering segments.
