The New York Times is reportingย that,

The top climate scientist at NASA says the Bush administration has tried to stop him from speaking out since he gave a lecture last month calling for prompt reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases linked to globalย warming.โ€

NASA started monitoring James Hansen’s calendar after he spoke out recently, but claimed the intervention was innocent. โ€œThis is not about any individual or any issue like global warming,โ€ย said Dean Acosta, deputy assistant administrator for public affairs at the space agency. โ€œIt’s aboutย coordination.โ€

Ah yes. It’s Bush administration policy to โ€œcoordinateโ€ its climate policy with the actioins of ExxonMobile, et al. Nice that someone is paying attention – and kudos to Hansen for standingย up.
