NASA Scientist Accused of Using Celeb Status Among Environmental Groups to Enrich Himself
FoxNews ^ | June 22, 2011 | William Lajeunesse

The NASA scientist who once claimed the Bush administration tried to "silence" his global warming claims is now accused of receiving more than $1.2 million from the very environmental organizations whose agenda he advocated.

In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in Washington, D.C., a group claims NASA is withholding documents that show James Hansen failed to comply with ethics rules and financial disclosures regarding substantial compensation he earned outside his $180,000 taxpayer-paid position as director of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies.

"Hansen's office appears to be somewhat of a rogue operation. It's clearly a taxpayer-funded global warming advocacy organization," said Chris Horner, a co-founder of The American Tradition Institute, which filed the lawsuit. "The real issue here is, has Hansen been asking NASA in writing, in advance, for permission for these outside activities? We have reason to believe that has not been occurring."

Hansen has called for putting fossil fuel company executives, including the CEOs of ExxonMobil and Peabody Coal, on trial for "high crimes against humanity and nature", on the grounds that these and other fossil-fuel companies had actively spread doubt and misinformation about global warming

The good comrade seeks to criminalize dissent, complete with life sentences in the gulag.

Fascist scumbag.

If you look at the email diagrams constructed from the East Anglia University Hadley Climate Research Unit data dump, this asshole Hansen from NASA is a major participant. NASAs funding should be zeroed for keeping this lunatic employed.

Hansen in his 2009 open letter to President Obama advocates a "Moratorium and phase-out of coal plants that do not capture and store CO2". In his first book Storms of My Grandchildren, similarly, Hansen discusses his Declaration of Stewardship the first principle of which requires "a moratorium on coal-fired power plants that do not capture and sequester carbon dioxide". In 2008 interviews with ABC News, The Guardian, and in a separate op-ed, Hansen has called for putting fossil fuel company executives, including the CEOs of ExxonMobil and Peabody Coal, on trial for "high crimes against humanity and nature", on the grounds that these and other fossil-fuel companies had actively spread doubt and misinformation about global warming, in the same way that tobacco companies tried to hide the link between smoking and cancer

Ths man needs summary execution.

Hansen -

A scientific fraud - and
A government reporting fraud.

This fraud perpetrated by NASA has made them drop so low in my esteem - that this long time fan of space would rather see them disbanded. Sad - but this is our government. No manned missions - but global warming fraud.

Sad.

Now - over to Climateaudit.org to get the dirt!

Surely this can’t be! During the Senate hearings Senator Gore refused to listen to a full professor who had been the benefactor of a mere $30K grant from a coal company. /sarc

That’s too quick of a solution.

Hanson belongs on the BIG LIST of anti American lying treasonous blowhards. When the pithcforks come out there should be one with his name on it to “facilitate cleanup”.

"Gore promoting fewer children to curb pollution"

Wish his mother has subscribed to that ideal...

Doesn't the environmentalist left claim in every ear shot they get that any prominent person who doesn't believe in man made global warming is being paid off? Grrrrrrrrrr

Yeah, I know about “projection”. I don't like to use it though. It's a psychiatric term, it doesn't apply. Lots of people do it on different levels. My dad has a tendency to do it to a small degree (when he's pissed) and he is a good guy. What is going on here with the left wingers is deliberate malfeasance. The same way when people talk about liberals acting crazy when they deliberately hamper somebody's free speech or put good people in jail. It aint crazy, it's evil.

Getting Hansen as a trophy on the wall would be a good thing.

Be a great conversation starter for sure. People always asking why you have a piece of shit on your wall.

Hansen has NASA by the nads and they know it. Any attempt by them to punish or fire him will have the media screaming censorship.

East Anglia University created one of the ‘leading’ climate computer models. It predicted summer rainfall in the Central Sahara and Ireland would be the same.

‘Nuff said.
