Leave space exploration alone. When we are the only country going broke by going green, we will need some place to go.. after the wealthy countries of China, India and all points Asian have distroyed the air from excessive coal plants.

As to forcing NASA to study global warming: What an insult to NASA, a real science agency, to study a faux science.

Note the date:

"WASHINGTON -- A new NASA-led study shows human-caused climate change has made an impact on a wide range of Earth's natural systems, including permafrost thawing, plants blooming earlier across Europe, and lakes declining in productivity in Africa. "

Who was 'forcing' them to study it then?

Their research seems to already be well under way.

Climate Change: NASA's Eyes on the Earth

This article contains budget specifics alluded to in the OP's link:

I think it's hilarious. NASA has been at the forefront of the global warming scare for a while and Obama pays them back by taking away their candy.

I wonder how long it will be before NASA starts backpedaling on the issue of melting ice caps.

This administration can't get anything right on Earth, now they want to mess up the stars.

Didn't read the links did you?
The president is increasing/shifting their budget so that they get MORE money to study climate issues.

TigerLilly beat me to it. Nasa has been studying this for many years now.

This is one from 2004:
