Remember when Brewster defended Jagadish Shukla?

He was the guy who led the charge to demand Obama bring RICO charges against anyone who does not believe in AGW. Brewster still thinks the world of him I am sure because Brewster believes in taking the freedom of speech from anyone who he disagrees with.

Also remember Brewster telling us that being a scientist doing AGW research are poor people who don't make much in the way of money? Remember him telling us that there is no financial reason for them to lie or fudge their findings?

Here is some information about his hero:

Shukla’s Gold


Roger Pielke Jr recently made the remarkable discovery that, in addition to his university salary from George Mason University (reported by Pielke as $250,000), Jagadish Shukla, the leader of the #RICO20, together with his wife, had received a further $500,000 more in 2014 alone from federal climate grants funnelled through a Shukla-controlled “non-profit” (Institute for Global Environment and Security, Inc.), yielding total income in 2014 of approximately $750,000.

Actually, the numbers are even worse than Pielke thought.
•Pielke had quoted Shukla’s 2013 university salary, but his university salary had increased more than 25% between 2013 and 2014: from $250,816 in 2013 to $314,000 in 2014.
•In addition, the “non-profit” organization had also employed one of Shukla’s children (not reported, but say $90,000); and,
•IGES transferred $100,000 from its climate grants to a second corporation controlled by the Shukla family (the Institute for Global Education Equality of Opportunity and Prosperity, Inc.), which in turn transferred $100,000 to an educational charity in Shukla’s home town in India, doubtless a worthy charity, but one that Shukla could have supported from his own already generous stipend.

Over a million dollars in total in 2014 alone.

In addition, Shukla’s long-time associate, James Kinter, participated in the same double dip, though on a less grandiose scale. Kinter, also a Professor at George Mason, doubled his 2014 university salary of $180,038 with $171,320 from IGES, for a total 2014 income of $351,358.

In today’s post, I’ll make an attempt to follow the money. This analysis is not an audit as I obviously do not have access to original documents – only public information and, for the purposes of this note, only online research. In addition, the history is quite complicated,as the institutions reach back over 30 years and have changed relationships over time. I’ve examined NSF, NOAA and NASA online grant information, which covers only part of the period (NOAA to 2001; NASA to 2006) and placed a summary spreadsheet online here.

Because “warmists” regularly re-assure skeptics that income from research is strictly regulated under federal policies (e,g. Andrew Dessler here), the parties who ought to have the most interest in the structure are warmists, rather than skeptics, though the opposite seems to be the case thus far.

Well, so much for Brewster's credibility.

There's so much BS in that article I don't know where to start, so I won't.

I will point out however, it is the US Right which is trying to block Free Speech by burying it in Lies and trying to intimidate scientists who follow science rather than Right Wing ideology.

SOP for the Righties on this board - accuse others of exactly what they are trying to get away with.
