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 isnt a full time job. It cant 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 organizations declared aim is to improve understanding and prediction of the variations of the Earths 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 someones 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.

So are we paying reparations to Indians now?
Shouldn’t that fall on the British?
You’d smile to if you were pulling in half a mil from our Treasury. When does this crap stop?
Bump for later
With due respect; I think it still pales in comparison to the "Civil Rights/Affirmative Action" scam.

Wouldn’t it be a hoot if this guy got sued by everyone who questions his “science”. He is, after all, trying to use the powers of government to violate first amendment rights.

It’s right up there, for sure. The global baloney crowd is looking to transfer trillions in tax money from us to them....
You’ve got talent. But you need to invent something harmless, like a 4 slice toaster, that looks like a nuclear warhead. Then take it down to the mall and scare the piss out of about fifty people.
With a little luck, and a couple of Aloha Snackbars thrown in for good measure, Microsoft will give you a new computer with the latest Adobe Photoshop on it. ;-)
Nothing greedy or selfish here. Just a couple of smart foreigners who know how to milk the system and US people. I would hope that Trump in all of his intentions would see to it that worthy US citizens/scholars would get some of this cash cow. I don’t have much faith in Carly to do such.
I wonder how many politician pockets Shukla has lined to keep his money train rolling?
Bump
Rope can be made from dope.
Exposed, wonderful discovery, University is going to love to claw back these grants out of this guys pocketbook
Were is the outrage from the RATS, that there is wage discrimination.
Question 1: Is this joker a US citizen?
Question 2: If not, why is he here?
Perhaps throught the rico act we may put an end to this settled science... Please sue me and lets get this over with
MANMADE GLOBAL WARMING IS A HOAX.
CO2 IS NOT RESPONSIBLE
SHUKLAH CON NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the suns planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
Further investigation is seriously due!
