James Hansen and the Corruption of Science | Power Line
It recently came out that James Hansen, one of the two or three most prominent global warming alarmists on whose work the IPCC reports rest, “forgot” to report $1.6 million in outside income, as required by his government contracts. Is that significant? Well, yes: A handful of scientists, including Hansen, have gotten wealthy on climate alarmism. They have an enormous financial interest in the faux science they have done so much to perpetrate. It is more likely that the Pope would renounce Christianity than that Hansen, Michael Mann, etc., would change their minds about global warming, regardless of the evidence. (I say that because the Pope has far more intellectual integrity than the climate alarmists.)
...We can’t say it enough: global warming alarmism is not science. It is politics at best, outright fraud at worst.
Articles: The Inconvenient Truth about Species Extinction
By my count, there are more than 25 inaccurate or misleading claims in An Inconvenient Truth, yet the Associated Press reports that 19 of our "nation's top climate scientists" gave it "five stars for accuracy." Moreover, the film is being shown in schools throughout the world, and five nations have made it an official part of their educational curricula. Thus, if you know an audience that wants to understand the inconvenient facts about An Inconvenient Truth, I am currently available for presentations.
