The American Spectator : Suing NASA and UVA

... Rasmussen discovered in a national telephone poll that 69 percent of respondents say "it's at least somewhat likely that some scientists have falsified research data in order to support their own theories and beliefs, including 40 percent who say this is very likely."...

... So who is holding all these scientists accountable, many of whom conduct their research thanks to financing from taxpayers?

Certainly the formerly mainstream media doesn't do it, because it isfirmly encamped in the global warming belief system and has amplified the scientific "consensus" myth as fact since the hysteria commenced over 20 years ago. You need only look at the public positions and website of the Society of Environmental Journalists, where reporters recharge their affirmation for alarmism and marginalize scientists who are skeptical of impending catastrophe ("Big Oil owns them!"). ...

That's why my organization, American Tradition Institute, initiatedtwo public records requests (which have turned into Freedom of Information Act lawsuits) for the work of key figureheads in the government-funded global warming science realm. The first seeks the correspondence and supporting data from the University of Virginia from the work of Dr. Michael Mann, who while at the university (he's now at Penn State) developed the famous "Hockey Stick" temperature chart that cut off tree ring data after 1960. We also want to know how he eliminated the Medieval Warm Period that has been recognized widely as part of the historical record.

...

We also have asked NASA to provide the outside employment records of global warming activist Dr. James Hansen, who has earned into the millions of dollars in income additional to his taxpayer funded job as head of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies. He has used that platform to get extra work as a highly compensated speaker, policy advocate, book writer, and legal adviser, among other opportunities. Both the University and NASA are resisting our inquiries, so we've had to sue them both. ...

A July 2009 paper published by Science and Public Policy Institute revealed the U.S. government has spent more than $79 billion since 1989 on policies and research related to climate change, with few that are curious about natural causes.
