Nasa is censoring me, says global warming scientist
From London’s Daily Telegraph: Nasa is censoring me, says global warming scientist
Nasa’s senior climate scientist accused the Bush administration yesterday of trying to stop him speaking out about global warming. James Hansen said Nasa officials ordered his lectures, papers and website postings to be reviewed before publication after he called last month for an immediate reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Requests for interviews were also being screened. He said he had been told there would be “dire consequences” if he repeated his warnings about climate change.
Mr Hansen’s calls for significant mandatory cuts in greenhouse emissions run directly counter to the policy of the administration which disputes the science linking emissions to climate change.
Is anyone surprised by this? The big polluters are simply not going to allow any government they own to jeopardize their income streams. Don’t wait for your government to save the planet, they have no interest in doing so. Take charge of your own emissions. - DS
