As far as I can tell NASA has been subsidizing his global warming jihad for years.

Via WaPo:

James E. Hansen, the nation’s most outspoken scientist on global warming, is stepping down from his federal post to engage full time in activism on the issue.

Hansen, who heads NASA’s Goddard Institute of Space Studies in New York City, spent 46 years working at the agency.

After warning Congress in 1988 that climate change posed a serious threat to the planet, he has spent much of the past quarter-century trying to persuade policymakers to take bold action to curb global carbon emissions.

In an e-mail Monday, Hansen wrote that he decided to step down “so that I can spend full time on science, drawing attention to the implications for young people, and making clear what science says needs to be done.”

The New York Times first reported the news of Hansen’s retirement Monday night.
