George Mason University Professor Jagadish Shukla is a lead author with the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and winner of numerous awards including the International Meteorological Organization Prize, the Rossby Medal of the American Meteorological Society, and the Padma Shri National Award from the President of India. He is currently president of the Institute of Global Environment and Society and a professor of Climate Dynamics.
For his expertise, Shukla is amply rewarded by George Mason University with a salary over $250,000 a year.
Apparently, though, this isn’t a full time job. It can’t be – because on top of this salary, from 2012 to 2014, Shukla appears to have paid himself and his wife $1.5 million from government climate grants for his part-time work via his non-profit Institute of Global Environment and Society (IGES).
IGES is an organization which gets almost all its income from US taxpayers – last year a whopping $3.8 million – via institutions including the National Science Foundation, NOAA and NASA. The organization’s declared aim is to “improve understanding and prediction of the variations of the Earth’s climate through scientific research on climate variability and climate predictability, and to share both the fruits of this research and the tools necessary to carry out this research with society as a whole.”
A tough job, clearly, but someone’s got to do it. Which is why Shukla generously rewards its president – himself – with a salary of $330,000 for a 28 hour week and his wife (who works full time) another $166,000.

Shame the author passed away, he was almost as good as Tom Clancy :(
Don’t remind me... I saw too much of that when I was in the service (*,-).
I thought Al Gore invented global warming.

This climate change thing has me totally befuddled. However, I am currently wrestling with another befuddling problem at this time and cannot concentrate on the problem of man-made climate change right now.
I am currently completely befuddled upon the question “do we break eggs in the middle or do we break them on the ends?” After I figure out the answer to this question I will move on to the fake climate questions.
Another nonprofit church-state establishment violating deal.
People need to stop going emo over Planned Parenthood and ban all government contracting out social services to these Marxist groups.

These people are scum of the Earth.
Climate Change is an excuse to squeeze the peasant to enrich fat cats like him with carbon footprint of comfort. and the stupid liberal peasants keep voting for this sht because they are happy with free government biscuit like it is Mana from Heaven.
I still remember a discussion with a professor at Iowa State University, from engineering who of all people should have had a thinking cap.
After presenting my evidence to him, his only response was, “Why would anyone risk their reputation on something that wasn’t true.”
That is the way the elite think and I walked away.............
They’re just trying to save their phony-baloney jobs!
He was as good as Tom Clancy. RIP Vince Flynn.
Good start for an Enemies of the Constitution list.
Sorry, I can’t remember for the life of me, and I gave the book to a co-worker years back. Seems it was one of Flynn’s last novels, though.
