Climate expert says NASA bids to muzzle him: report

The officers confirmed the warning to the Times.

[ If this guy gets fired, it's another data point proving Bush's regime is like a communist dictatorship - where scientists are muzzled or must spout the party lies. ]

NEW YORK (Reuters) - NASA's top climate scientist said the Bush administration has tried to stop him from speaking out since he gave a lecture in December calling for prompt reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases, The New York Times said on Saturday

Hansen told the Times over the course of several interviews that an effort began in early December to keep him from publicly discussing what he says are clear-cut dangers from further delay in curbing carbon dioxide.

Hansen said the recent efforts to quiet him began after a lecture he gave on December 6 at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco in which he said that significant emission cuts could be achieved with existing technologies, particularly in the case of motor vehicles.

Hansen said that NASA headquarters officials repeatedly phoned public affairs officers, who warned Hansen of "dire consequences" if such statements continued. The officers confirmed the warning to the Times.
