Christopher Horner, regular contributor to PJM, has some interesting information about Dr James Hansen of NASA and Columbia. It turns out that Dr Hansen has parleyed his global-warming activism into something between tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in outside income in 2010. (It’s hard to say how much because the government reporting form breaks things into wide categories.) There’s a piece about it at Anthony Watts’ Watts Up With That tonight.

Johnny will be here with some link to some lunatic conspiracy site talking about ExxonMobil in 3…2…1…
Professor Bowtie doesn’t want to talk about Mann, Briffa, Hansen, Pachauri, etc… he just wants to tell us about the Pope, Admiral Titley, Dwight Eisenhower, and John von Neumann. And possibly “Muslim Oil” and “Big Carbon”, whatever that means. It’s interesting that those most outraged in the belief of “right-wing” conspiracy theories (Birtherism, climate change as a massive hoax, Obama the Muslim) are almost always believers in “left-wing” conspiracy theories (Trutherism, evil corporations preventing “action” on climate change, insane beliefs that “poor” Americans today are no better off than “poor” Americans were 30 years ago). I personally find it hilarious that Paul Krugman is on the same level of conspiracy belief as Orly Taitz, but don’t tell any of your “liberal” friends, who approvingly post links to his deranged ramblings.
Cities across America are filling with homeless glaciers.
Honoraria for speeches? Man, some agencies have all the luck. We can’t accept honoraria for speeches/talks about our work area. There are strict rules on accepting prizes too, but travel is ok as long as you are going to speak, not just attend.
*Full disclaimer: I work of a Fed agency (non-regulatory, R&D). No one in our entire Department can accept honoraria or speaking fees if the subject of the talk is related to our funded work. We can’t accept large gifts either, unless they are from family members. Not all agencies are like that, apparently.
You know, I really wonder about that. Back when I used to deal with the Three Letter Agencies, I couldn’t buy them so much as a hamburger.
It’s a pity we don’t have the numbers from past years, particularly the years when he shrieked about being “silenced” by the Bush administration. He had quite a full schedule at the time, AFAICR.
There’s good money in being a courtier.
How much does the Koch Brothers “score” peddaling their dirty, nasty fossil fuels?
