NASA’s Hansen Mentioned in Soros Foundations Annual Report

Here, in Soros Foundations' annual report, is a direct connection to Hansen, along with an admission that "The campaign on Hansen's behalf resulted in a decision by NASA to revisit its media policy."

As is typical, a global warming obsessed media don't find this newsworthy. Think they'd be so disinterested if this smoking gun involved an oil company giving money to a Republican official?

While you ponder, forward to page 143 (emphasis added):

note: The Strategic Opportunities Fund includes grants related to Hurricane Katrina ($1,652,841); media policy ($1,060,000); and politicization of science ($720,000).

Add it all up, and everything the IBD editorial claimed - that a high-ranking official at NASA may have received money from an organization funded by George Soros in order to politicize science -- is actually available in this annual report.

“politicization of science”

Indeed.

More pickup on the hansen/soros connection..

Hansen is scum, a scientific marxist.

This retard skewed his number to show the 90`s

as the hottest decade ever.

He lied, the real numbers prove it was the 1930`s

He`s a science fraud who should be fired.

[SteamShovel]

He`s a science fraud who should be fired.

He should be prosecuted for using the NASA resources to commit intentional fraud.

Make no mistake, even though he is being un-masked, real economic damages have already occurred because of his academic dishonesty while using his NASA credentials(and I'd bet resources) to coerce governments and pursued people that unless socialism is instituted, the world will burn up.

I’d bet that Soros money makes it to many newsrooms around the country too.

10 years ago..Hansen was crying about Global cooling...
He is a Hypocrite and a Paid Liar.

BUMP!

And where is a conservative anti-Soros foundation funded by conservatives? Gee. I guess monied conservatives don’t much care. Until they do, it’s tough luck for them, huh?

A few years ago, our astronomy club was watching a one-hour NASA-produced video. About 35 minutes into the show the narrator suddenly switched gears and went into an enviro-tirade that had nothing to do with the show. After a couple of minutes, this subsided and the program went back to the original topic.

Before I will give any credibility to a scientist who is making statements that affect public policy, I require proof that no part of their income comes from government sources.

Hansen is dirty. This from http://www.icecap.us/:

Hansen, the director of the agency’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, received a $250,000 grant from the charitable foundation headed by former Democrat Presidential candidate John Kerry’s wife, Teresa Heinz. Subsequent to the Heinz Foundation grant, Hansen publicly endorsed Democrat John Kerry for president in 2004, a political endorsement considered to be highly unusual for a NASA scientist.

Wow.

But the “scientific consensus” (universally held AND promoted by the MSM of course) is that ANY AGW skeptic is bought and paid for by the greedy coal-and-oil-and-gas energy conspirators (er, corporations....)

So of course, the enviro-AGW extremist-socialist-libral-internationalists (but I repeat myself) are only accusing their legitimate critics of doing what they know themselves are guilty of doing.

Did James Hansen Receive $720,000 from George Soros?

By Investor’s Business Daily, 24 September 2007

Democracy: George Soros is known for funding groups such as MoveOn.org that seek to manipulate public opinion. So why is the billionaire’s backing of what he believes in problematic? In a word: transparency.

How many people, for instance, know that James Hansen, a man billed as a lonely “NASA whistleblower” standing up to the mighty U.S. government, was really funded by Soros’ Open Society Institute, which gave him “legal and media advice”? That’s right, Hansen was packaged for the media by Soros’ flagship “philanthropy,” by as much as $720,000, most likely under the OSI’s “politicization of science” program.

That may have meant that Hansen had media flacks help him get on the evening news to push his agenda and lawyers pressuring officials to let him spout his supposedly “censored” spiel for weeks in the name of advancing the global warming agenda. Hansen even succeeded, with public pressure from his nightly news performances, in forcing NASA to change its media policies to his advantage. Had Hansen’s OSI-funding been known, the public might have viewed the whole production differently. The outcome could have been different. Read full editorial here.

BTW, Hansen, the director of the agency’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, received a $250,000 grant from the charitable foundation headed by former Democrat Presidential candidate John Kerry’s wife, Teresa Heinz. Subsequent to the Heinz Foundation grant, Hansen publicly endorsed Democrat John Kerry for president in 2004, a political endorsement considered to be highly unusual for a NASA scientist. He has also been assailed by at least one former NASA colleague. See the 2006 CNS story here.

Thats about the limit of their intellectual capacity.
