| The New York Times editorial page took the Bushies to task yesterday for ignoring and distorting science on climate change, echoing accusations made by NASA's top-dog climatologist, Jim Hansen. Speaking in Iowa last week, Hansen castigated the Bush administration for its failure to face up to facts and act, and he 'said that he had been instructed by Sean O'Keefe, administrator of [NASA], not to discuss publicly the human contribution to global warming,' the Times writes ... |

Daily Grist |
| The Hansen Bothers More climate scientists come out against Bush Andrew Revkin of The New York Times has written what may be the definitive account of the battle over science politicization in and around the Bush administration.

Like others before it, the report predicts more droughts and violent storms. It also anticipates that much of the extreme weather to come will hit countries south of the equator, many of which have fewer resources to ... |

| Read more about: James Hansen There's Methane to His Madness James Hansen, a respected global warming expert and director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, has spent nearly two decades urging countries to reduce their emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) to help curb climate change, but now he's started singing a different tune. In research to be published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Hansen and colleagues say the present emphasis on CO2, by far the ... |

| Read more about: James Hansen Not So Presto Change-o In a twist that has surprised scientists, new analyses indicate that the growth rate of climate change has declined about 25 percent since 1980. Climate change is still underway, but now researchers believe that humans may have more time than previously thought to cope with the problem. Scientists don't understand why this has happened because there has been no decline in emissions of carbon dioxide, but the new trend observed indicates that t ... |
