Rest of the story
"The scientist touted by CBS News' '60 Minutes' as arguably the 'world's leading researcher on global warming' and spotlighted as a victim of the Bush administration's censorship on the issue publicly endorsed Democrat John Kerry for president and received a $250,000 grant from the charitable foundation headed by Kerry's wife," Marc Morano reports at www.CNSNews.com.
"Scientist James Hansen has also admitted that he contributed to two recent Democratic presidential campaigns. Furthermore, he acted as a consultant in February to former Vice President Al Gore's slide show presentations on 'global warming,' which Gore presented around the country.
"But Scott Pelley, the '60 Minutes' reporter who profiled Hansen and detailed his accusations of censorship on the March 19 edition of the newsmagazine, made no mention of Hansen's links to Kerry and Gore and none to the fact that Kerry's wife — Teresa Heinz Kerry — had been one of Hansen's benefactors."
As it turns out, Mr. Hansen made a similar charge against President Bush's father when he was president, Cybercast News Service said. In 1989, Mr. Hansen charged that the elder Mr. Bush was censoring his climate research. "Kerry and about a dozen other senators eventually co-signed a letter written by Gore, who was also a senator at the time, demanding an explanation for the alleged censorship."
