Global Warming and Energy

Not only does CO2 make plants grow bigger, it also makes crabs grow bigger. This experiment worked in tanks, but bigger crabs aren't showing up in the ocean. Too bad.

Climate fraud James Hansen to retire from NASA. It's about time taxpayers stopped paying this guy. He should have been fired. Theory that Obama may have ousted Hansen.

"So, NASA’s in-house celebrity activist James Hansen says the following in explaining his departure from a lucrative perch — salary alone: $180k per year — one that proved extremely lucrative while there was a useful foil in the White House:"

$180 grand a year? Are you kidding me?

"Indeed, on top of that cool $1 million-plus in outside cash tossed Hansen’s way after he ratcheted up the alarmism and — more important to many — politicking, he presided over an elaborate document removal/destruction operation run by his protégé and presumptive successor, Gavin Schmidt."

Let's hope it's not Schmidt.

"That requirement that Hansen first receive permission before testifying exists “to prevent an employee from using public office for the employee’s personal private gain”. Which (chuckle) is the same rationale behind the other ethics provisions under which Hansen sought and was routinely granted permission to make lots of outside money on his advocacy. Under George W. Bush."

Thanks, Bush.

"If we are to believe Hansen — and face it, we all want to believe him — he was denied permission to serve as an expert witness. If this occurred, it is clear that this is a recent development. That is, during the Obama administration.
Which administration is, apparently, “muzzling” Hansen."

If this is true, then good for Obama.
