NASA top climate scientist James Hansen to retire from Goddard Institute, sue gov’t

Talk about biting the hand that feeds you!

NASA’s James Hansen, director of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies and a controversial and highly vocal voice of alarm about the planet’s changing climate, will retire as the director of the space institute, NASA announced Tuesday -- and plans to immediately sue his former employer.

Hansen will step down from his $180,000 a year position to join a number of lawsuits challenging the federal and state governments for their failure to police industry over man’s effect on the climate, the New York Times reported.

Hansen was clearly aware of the irony.

“As a government employee, you can’t testify against the government,” he told the Times.

Hansen is a central figure in the battle against climate change; on Feb. 13, he was arrested alongside of actress Daryl Hannah, activist Bill McKibben and a small group of activists protesting the planned Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada to the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.

I was going to post this on Faceplace for all the libs to read but it’s way over their heads. It needs simplification to something provable that can fit on a bumpersticker. I’m working on it...so far I have AGW = Not True...don’t think that’ll get it though.

Hansen’s credibility is so poor anymore that the typical homeless wino is seen as more rational and self-controlled.

So, he's stepping down so that he can waste even MORE money that we did when we threw it away on his undeserved salary.

Way to cause us to spend tax money on frivolous lawsuits!

He saw that Gore made $100 million plus with this scam and he figures there’s still time to get in on the action.

It’s pretty obvious that this is a religion.

He’s positioning himself where he can defend his religion, and he’s not letting go of it.

“AGW is your religion”

They are clinging to their beliefs in spite of the evidence, and that is THEIR definition of “faith”.
