   The scam pays good money. Why don’t you join the gravy train and buy yourself a Tesla that magically powers itself from unicorn farts?

     As long as they can print and as long as people accept this ‘good money’ the Fraud will go on ?

     Yes sirrah, It pays really good money.

     The hourly wage for Climastrologists is one of the highest. link

     And that is before the ‘speaking engagements’ Hansen ILLEGALLY earned an additional 1.6 million plus perks while taking a government salary. link

     From the Department of Justice:

     Outside employment related to work of component

     An employee is required to obtain written approval before engaging in any outside employment that involves a subject matter that relates to the responsibilities of his component. Outside employment includes any form of employment, business relationship or activity involving the provision of personal services, whether paid or unpaid. For example, an employee working in the Environment and Natural Resources Division would need written approval to serve on the board of directors of an environmental organization; a JMD employee must receive approval to work for a DOJ contractor.

     Also, an employee must obtain written approval to engage in the private practice of law, whether compensated or uncompensated….

     Teaching, Speaking, and Writing

     Generally, an employee may not be compensated for speaking or writing that relates to his official duties….

     From NOLO on ‘gifts’

     … In addition to prohibiting gifts based on an intent to obtain favorable treatment, federal law also prohibits giving or promising anything of value to a government official “because of or for” an official act. Although the sanctions may not be as severe as gifts motivated by an effort to obtain favorable treatment, after-the-fact gifts can still result in significant penalties.
     Can the Federal Employee Accept the Gift?

     Just because you may be able to offer a gift without fear of criminal penalties does not mean that the government employee is free to accept it. The government strictly limits the ability of its employees to accept gifts from so-called outside sources, such as you and your company.

     If you determine that a gift you wish to give is not based upon improper motives, you should next consider whether the federal employee is permitted to accept the gift. After all, if the government employee cannot accept the gift, offering it will simply result in unnecessary embarrassment.

     As a general rule, a federal employee cannot accept your gift if you or your company seeks official action by the employee’s agency, does business with the agency, seeks to do business with the agency, or if you or your company would be otherwise affected by the employee’s performance of his or her duties.

     …..Several commonsense exceptions exist to these rules. Government employees may accept gifts if any of the following are true:
     The gift is based upon a pre-existing personal or family relationship with the government employee, so long as the gift is motivated by the relationship (like a birthday present to your sister).
     The gift is valued at $20 or less, so long as the gift is not cash, and the employee accepts no more than $50 in gifts, in the aggregate, from the same outside source in a calendar year.
     The gift consists of modest refreshments, such as juice and bagels at a seminar, and not as part of a meal.
     The gift consists of free attendance at widely-attended gatherings (although some agency-by-agency restrictions may apply to this exception).

     Remember that the exceptions apply to a government employee’s ability to accept gifts, not your ability to give them. Giving anything of value to a government employee is still prohibited if it is motivated by an improper intent, even if it fits within these exceptions.

       “Why isn’t Hansen in jail?”

       Because politicians don’t put fellow politicians in jail — not even when the fellow politician lies that he is a scientist instead of a politician.

         I am stilled bothered by the fact, Gail, that you said Carly ‘believes’ in the tooth fa
         whoops, make that AGW.
         She was second to the Trump in the latest poll. My early picks were 2nd, 3rd, and 4th.
         as of the latest.
         —-and you know how it is, narcissists in power positions can simply say, ‘I have got a pen and a piece of paper’ and they can put anything on it that they want.

         darrylb,

         You can watch Carly live dancing around the issue. She only mentions “Clean Coal” (Lots and Lots of $$$ for innovation) She says CAGW is a serious issue and never mentions nuclear as a possible solution.
         http://chicksontheright.com/blog/item/30336-carly-fiorina-takes-down-climate-change-alarmism-and-it-is-glorious

         After sneaking over to Hubby’s computer and watching this. All I see is re-packaged business as usual, with a dose of how can we get the Sheeple to continue to swallow CAGW now that they have smartened up to the downsides of Solar and Wind.

         So what exactly is this Clean Coal that Carly is so in love with?
         From Energy dot Gov

         Clean Coal Research
         DOE’s clean coal R&D is focused on developing and demonstrating advanced power generation and carbon capture, utilization and storage technologies for existing facilities and new fossil-fueled power plants by increasing overall system efficiencies and reducing capital costs. In
         the near-term, advanced technologies that increase the power generation efficiency for new plants and technologies to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) from new and existing industrial and power-producing plants are being developed. In the longer term, the goal is to increase energy plant efficiencies and reduce both the energy and capital costs of CO2 capture and storage from new, advanced coal plants and existing plants. These activities will help allow coal to remain a strategic fuel for the nation while enhancing environmental protection….

         Clean Coal is a really big boondoggle. It is even worse than Solar and Wind since if the CO2 is released from storage it will kill you. link

         Jo Nova — Carbon capture, clean coal plant goes bankrupt, only $4.4b over budget

         TonyfromOz explained how fatal the numbers on “carbon capture” are. (It’s like the GFC of engineering). The new coal plants cost 60% more to build and waste something like 40% of the entire energy they generate to “catch” a beneficial fertilizer and and stuff it in a small hot hole underground….

         So I rate Carly as a Hitlery lite.

         The absolute safest and best place to store CO2 is in the atmosphere.

         Plenty of room, no holes required.

         Will only ever be in trace quantities, no suffocation from massive concentrations and no oxygen.

         And it has a massive added benefit that the plants love it, and will keep providing food for the world’s increasing population.

         September 21, 2015 at 9:50 pm

         Agreed Andy,

         I would like to see CO2 up to 1500 ppm especially as the earth and oceans cool down.

       “Why isn’t Hansen in jail?”

       Mostly because the law does not apply to the elite’s operatives. Perhaps there might be a presidential candidate willing to test this or talk it up? It would be a simple matter to prosecute a few of these cases, but just one major candidate saying he would consider such prosecution could change behavior dramatically, at least for awhile, even if no prosecution resulted.

         Hansen is just a tool, a brownshirt.

         Evil has no friends.

         I had him pegged as an operative in the “useful idiot” category. He seems to believe his own bull sheet with religious fervor. Often wrong but never in doubt. Unable to admit his mistakes.

   If you grafted the RSS graph onto the original 1981 temperatures you might have a reasonable global temperature record to the present day.

     Thanks AndyG – you beat me to it linking to this post. I mean, you simply cannot make this stuff up! A scumbag grifter demanding RICO investigations for the alleged “crime” of free speech. Amazingly shameless. Love how he has his wife in on it. Nice touch.

     It seems Professor Shukla has other family members on the payroll, too. He founded and runs the Institute of Global Environment and Society (IGES) – Climate Research in Service to Society.

     IGES Personnel:
     President: Shukla, Jagadish
     Business Manager: Shukla, Anastasia
     Assistant Business Manager: Shukla, Sonia
     Director, COLA: Kinter, James
     Assistant to the President: Shukla, Sonia

     http://www.iges.org/aboutiges.html

     He says about himself on the institute’s website: “Professor Shukla is an institution builder.“

     I’m sure he is. I wonder how well he’s loved *) by the other members of The Team?

     http://www.iges.org/people/shukla.html

     *) He has a wiki page marked with this header:
