Jim Hansen: "aging organizations can evolve into self-licking ice cream cones"; climate scientists allegedly work 80 hours a week

Jim Hansen seeks a third political party centered on fee-dividend climate [hoax] approach
I was in government 40 years, long enough to understand how aging organizations [like the IPCC?] can evolve into self-licking ice cream cones, organizations whose main purpose becomes self-perpetuation rather than accomplishment of their supposed objectives...Some Republicans are so well-oiled and coal-fired that they assert that human - made climate change is a "hoax" perpetrated by scientists seeking research funding (allowing them to work 80 hours a week for a modest wage, after investing 7 - 10 years in obtaining their higher education).
If the consensus is so vast and the science is so settled, what, specifically, are all these people allegedly doing for 80 hours each week?

That's easy, adjusting data to fit the models. I'm surprised they can do it in just 80 hrs a week.

Seems to me that Hansen has just confirmed what he thinks those well-oiled Republicans believe.
