A NOTE ON NASA'S JAMES HANSEN BEING MUZZLED BY NASA

I see that we are once again having to hear how NASA's James Hansen
was dissuaded from talking to the press on a few of the 1,400 media
interviews he was involved in over the years.

Well, I had the same pressure as a NASA employee during the
Clinton-Gore years, because NASA management and the Clinton/Gore
administration knew that I was skeptical that mankind's CO2 emissions
were the main cause of global warming. I was even told not to give my
views during congressional testimony, and so I purposely dodged a
question, under oath, when it arose.

But I didn't complain about it like Hansen has. NASA is an executive
branch agency and the President was, ultimately, my boss (and is,
ultimately, Hansen's boss). So, because of the restrictions on what I
could and couldn't do or say, I finally just resigned from NASA and
went to work for the university here in Huntsville. There were no hard
feelings, and I'm still active in a NASA satellite mission and fully
supportive of its Earth observation programs.

In stark contrast, Jim Hansen said whatever he wanted, whenever he
wanted to the press and congress during that time. He even campaigned
for John Kerry, and received a $250,000 award from Theresa
Heinz-Kerry's charitable foundation -- two events he maintains are
unrelated. If I had done anything like this when I worked at NASA, I
would have been crucified under the Hatch Act.

Does anyone besides me see a double standard here?
