James Hansen, one of the more famous of NASA's global warming/cooling/changing alarmists, has been milking the AGW cow in double shifts. In addition to his government salary of $180,000.00, he's pulled in the following:
-- A shared $1 million prize from the Dan David Foundation for his "profound contribution to humanity." Hansen's cut ranged from $333,000 to $500,000, Horner said, adding that the precise amount is not known because Hansen's publicly available financial disclosure form only shows the prize was "an amount in excess of $5,000."
-- The 2010 Blue Planet prize worth $550,000 from the Asahi Glass Foundation, which recognizes efforts to solve environmental issues.
-- The Sophie Prize for his "political activism," worth $100,000. The Sophie Prize is meant to "inspire people working towards a sustainable future."
-- Speaking fees totaling $48,164 from a range of mostly environmental organizations.
-- A $15,000 participation fee, waived by the W.J. Clinton Foundation for its 2009 Waterkeeper Conference.
-- $720,000 in legal advice and media consulting services provided by The George Soros Open Society Institute. Hansen said he did not take "direct" support from Soros but accepted "pro bono legal advice."
As long as the weather continues to get either warmer, cooler, or changier, Hansen will be able to claim that 1) he predicted it, and that 2) it is your fault, and that 3) taxpayers should continue to give him more money.
Nice work if you can get it.

NASA's global warming/cooling/changing alarmists...
NASA is fully on board with the science of climate change.
They researched most of it.
They pioneered most of it.
They still do a lot of the heavy lifting.
That's been going on for a good forty years now.
In addition to his government salary of $180,000.00...
Is a scientist entitled to a salary? Or should a scientist work for free?
-- A shared $1 million prize from the Dan David Foundation for his "profound contribution to humanity." Hansen's cut ranged from $333,000 to $500,000..."
He won a prize along with other people.
Do you want to take it away from him?
-- The 2010 Blue Planet prize worth $550,000 from the Asahi Glass Foundation, which recognizes efforts to solve environmental issues.
Yes and...?
The man won a prize.
Do you want to take it away from him?
The Sophie Prize for his "political activism," worth $100,000. The Sophie Prize is meant to "inspire people working towards a sustainable future."
Well good for him.
He won a prize.
Do you want to take it away from him?
Speaking fees totaling $48,164 from a range of mostly environmental organizations.
Speaking fees? Seriously?
You want to go "tut, tut" over speaking fees?
What exactly is wrong here?
A $15,000 participation fee, waived by the W.J. Clinton Foundation for its 2009 Waterkeeper Conference.
And...so?
Do you want to take away his money?
$720,000 in legal advice...
Which means he didn't get any money that he could take to the bank.
He got legal advice.
Can't buy a cup of coffee with "legal advice".
...Hansen said he did not take "direct" support from Soros but accepted "pro bono legal advice."
Yep. So he didn't take any...
(...cue sinister music...)
Wait a minute. Isn't Soros of the Hebrew persuasion?
As long as the weather continues to get either warmer, cooler, or changier, Hansen will be able to claim that 1) he predicted it, and that 2) it is your fault, and that 3) taxpayers should continue to give him more money.
Hansen is one guy.
He's not Dr Evil.
He doesn't control NASA and the thousands of other scientists who work there and also do important work.
There's no way that he can make NASA say what he wants it to say.
You are promoting conspiracy theories based on ignorance on how scientists do their job.
Ask yourself this:
Who gave you this story.?
You didn't come up with it yourself.
This has been spoon-fed to you.
Be a real skeptic for a change.
Find out who's feeding you this line.
You should focus on the science rather than be party to a smear campaign. What you are doing is shameful.
