An Instance of Warmist Corruption | Power Line:
"We have often written about the fact that the world’s governments pour billions of dollars annually into the global warming project, the object of which is to increase the powers of government.
And yet governments, the main parties that stand to benefit from the warmists’ campaign, pretend that their money is somehow innocent, while any private entity that supports climate research is suspect.
Alarmist scientists have gone so far as to urge the Obama administration to prosecute criminally scientists who disagree with them.
The premise for this proposed RICO investigation was that “corporations in the fossil fuel industry and their supporters”–i.e., scientists who don’t buy the global warming hype–are deceiving the public for financial gain.
This despicable effort, which we wrote about here, is led by Jagadish Shukla of George Mason University and several of his colleagues.
...There’s apparently an $800,000 annual salary and an organization full of Shukla family members that has produced next to no results for the millions received.
Even NSF on their own web page acknowledges that only one paper has been produced out of a 4.2 million dollar grant.
If someone paid me a million dollars a year, I would at least produce some bogus, government-serving science once in a while.
...Perhaps a congressional investigation of Jagadish Shukla’s million dollar a year slush fund–and that’s just what we know about so far–will begin to lift the lid on the worst scientific scandal of all time.
In the meantime, ponder the fact that Shukla wants to send the scientists who rebut his vacuous theories to jail.
With a million dollars a year (at least) at stake, it’s no wonder."
