“Maverick”? His was and is establishment opinion. Who are they going to call a maverick next, John McCain?
Anthony Watts has it posted on Watts Up With That.
Another sequester victim. I don’t know what took NASA so long but I’ll take it.
Don’t let the door hit you in the behind on the way out Jimmy boy.
46 yrs of sucking on the govt teat. wow
I don’t believe NASA will miss Mr Hansen much.
Not exactly early retirement. The guy is 72, and has worked for NASA almost 50 years. I imagine his gubbermint pay and retirement funds have added up to quite a lot. Plus, he gets big speaking fees, I’m sure.
NASA was founded in 1958, so he’s been there almost from the beginning.
No way this idiot would have lasted in the private sector. Layers of government protected him. Now he’ll get an undeserved government pension and go work for Al-Jazeera.
I hope the ghost of Werner Von Braun haunts this lowlife until he breathes his last molecule of oxygen. What a waste of good air.
"Federally sponsored" is commie lib newspeak for "taxpayer dollars".
Bovine Feces New York Times! James Hansen is a fraud.
The real climate prediction expert is former NASA rocket scientist John L Casey. After 25 years and tens of billions of dollars spent by NASA and the US government, John Casey has done the studies and finally surmised the real reason for changes in the climate is sun activity. And we are currently starting a 20 year cooling trend. And there isn’t a damn thing that humans on Earth can do about it and humans didn’t cause it.
With the implosion of the AGW charade, Hansen has seen the writing on the wall and is taking the money and running. I would not be surprised if he has a very nicely accommodated vacation home on some obscure Pacific island to retire to where nobody can find him except, maybe, Al Gore.
Almost every sentence in the article is dishonest. Hansen is not a scientist. Hansen has been wrong about everything he said. He pushed the fraudulent global warming agenda and demanded political action.
Yeah, right. He is just licking his chops after seeing the bag of loot that Algore has made peddling his charade. As a willing accomplice, he is just wanting his fair share.
God All Mighty, free at last....
An honorable man would commit hari kari after convincing so few to make policy that harmed so many based on nothing but bs.
46 years at a government job? He should be a poster boy for the difficulty of firing the worse than incompetent. He actually worked hard at making the lives of most Americans worse than it could have been otherwise.

Good riddance to bad garbage.
Hanson will slide into full senility, chew his fingernails off and fill the vacuum in his brain with dust mites and CO2 exhaust. Ten years from now, he’ll be found dead in a small Hartford bungalow with news clippings stacked to the ceiling, dirty dishes and dogs eating his face off.
