NASA Admits Error in Prohibiting Hansen Interview

NASA Admits Wrongdoing In Not Allowing Top Scientist To Discuss Climate Change Research

“Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Joe Lieberman (D-CT) have received written confirmation from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) that a media request to interview a top official on his climate change views was wrongly denied. Collins and Lieberman raised concerns with NASA’s alleged censorship of scientific views in a letter dated February 15, 2006, following media reports that Goddard Space Flight Center Chief Dr. James Hansen was prevented from fully conveying his findings.”

Reader note: “Jim Hansen is at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, not the Goddard Space Flight Center.”
