Ex-NASA Boss Is Now AGW Sceptic

It's been a while since I've talked about climate change, or at least at length about it. Despite the green movement continuing to push forward, more and more high profile scientists are coming out and announcing that they have converted to climate scepticism. Ex-NASA boss Dr John Theon is one of them. He ran the agency and was responsible for the works of James Hansen, who had argued to congress the increasingly apocalyptic vision of climate change. Hansen is one of the top pro-AGW theory advocates.

According to Theon, “my own belief concerning anthropogenic climate change is that the models do not realistically simulate the climate system because there are many very important sub-grid scale processes that the models either replicate poorly or completely omit. Furthermore, some scientists have manipulated the observed data to justify their model results. In doing so, they neither explain what they have modified in the observations, nor explain how they did it. They have resisted making their work transparent so that it can be replicated independently by other scientists. This is clearly contrary to how science should be done. Thus there is no rational justification for using climate model forecasts to determine public policy.”

Hansen is in charge of GISS, which has been accused of fudging historic climate numbers to outright misrepresentation of data, such as the October Record High scandal that emerged late last year.

On Hansen's accusations of censorship by NASA, Theon noted “Hansen was never muzzled even though he violated NASA's official agency position on climate forecasting (i.e., we did not know enough to forecast climate change or mankind's effect on it). Hansen thus embarrassed NASA by coming out with his claims of global warming in 1988 in his testimony before Congress."

Like David Suzuki, Hansen had once claimed he wished to see energy executives jailed for denying climate change. A lot of information is now beginning to emerge that is strongly suggesting that the climate numbers being made to form public policy were deliberately altered to conform with the theory. For a long time, I've been saying that this goes against scientific method, and Theon agrees with me. It's all about money and/or fulfilling some greater hidden agenda the left wing has. I always find it funny how liberals mock Christians for believing the disproven theory of intelligent design, yet they continue to strongly push the disproven theory of anthropogenic global warming.
