quote [ “I don’t deny that consensus that the climate is changing,” he said. “In fact, I fully believe and know that the climate is changing. I also know that we humans beings are contributing to it in a major way. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. We’re putting it into the atmosphere in volumes that we haven’t seen, and that greenhouse gas is warming the planet. That is absolutely happening, and we are responsible for it.” ]
Jim Bridenstine, was a well known climate change denier when he was confirmed as head of NASA last month. Now says he fully believes in anthropogenic climate change. That's a relief.

I saw the headline and thought, obviously this is another Obama FBI mole. But upon further reading, the only reasonable conclusion is that Bridenstine, in the rich Republican tradition, changed his tune after his son came out as a greenhouse gas.

Clearly his whole worldview was shaken when, after taking the job, NASA showed him the secret hanger where they keep the UFO that crashed at Roswell and the remains of its alien pilots... who all look exactly like Al Gore.
