James Hansen's Former Boss Declares Himself a Skeptic

Website: epw.senate.gov
Washington DC - NASA warming scientist James Hansen, one of former Vice-President Al Gores closest allies in the promotion of man-made global warming fears, is being publicly rebuked by his former supervisor at NASA.




Retired senior NASA atmospheric scientist, Dr. John S. Theon, the former supervisor of James Hansen, NASAs vocal man-made global warming fear soothsayer, has now publicly declared himself a skeptic and declared that Hansen embarrassed NASA with his alarming climate claims and said Hansen was was never muzzled. Theon joins the rapidly growing ranks of international scientists abandoning the promotion of man-made global warming fears.

I appreciate the opportunity to add my name to those who disagree that global warming is man made, Theon wrote to the Minority Office at the Environment and Public Works Committee on January 15, 2009. I was, in effect, Hansen's supervisor because I had to justify his funding, allocate his resources, and evaluate his results, Theon, the former Chief of the Climate Processes Research Program at NASA Headquarters and former Chief of the Atmospheric Dynamics & Radiation Branch explained.

The climate sensitivity of carbon dioxide is one (1) or very nearly one. The idea that a mildly effective IR absorbing gas can cause a runaway climate has always been suspect, but covered up by the hype. It's good to reduce oil consumption, reuse items, recycle where appropriate, but don't do so to meet some contrived doomsday scenario.

RIP AGW

2009.

@droogie1984

Lindzen & Choi's work show sensitivity is about -1.1.

What a BS! A senator as the man to trust?

How hot are you now!

We need more politicians like Inhofe who seek the truth. The AGW fraud has been contrived by the agenda driven UN's IPCC who have the media hacks to espouse their lies. They have hijacked the real science and use their manipulated computer cartoon models as if it were the word of God. AGW is a complete lie and many political proponents of it damn well know it. Americans need to put their foot down, or better yet, put their collective foot up the crack of some politicians asses.

Global warming is a hoax. The people that need to wake up are the sheep that are buying this media product without really digging into the real debate

[wolfheinl]

Wake up - its friggin hot out and its only the beginning of March.

[JenkemJunkie]

And yet here you are, on your computer manufactured and powered by fossil fuel consumption. If you don't want to live in a mud hut eating raw vegetables, you should respect this man as a hero. If you do want to live that way, then by all means, please go do so and leave all us sane folks alone!

Inhofe has lost all credibility!

come on, you live on earth too.

[dmathew1024]

James Inhofe is an Idiot-Conservative, a shill for the oil industry, a follower of George W. Bush, a crreationist, a flat-earther, and an adherent of Rush Limbaugh.

The Republicans are a politically irrelevant minority for a reason.
