Political interference at NASA[edit]
In 2007, Hansen alleged that in 2005
NASA administrators had attempted to influence his public statements about the
causes of climate change.
[116][117] Hansen said that
NASA public relations staff were ordered to review his public statements and interviews after a December 2005 lecture at the
American Geophysical Union in
San Francisco. NASA responded that its policies are similar to those of any other federal agency in requiring employees to coordinate all statements with the public affairs office without exception.
[118] Two years after Hansen and other agency employees described a pattern of distortion and suppression of climate science by political
appointees, the agency’s inspector general confirmed that such activities had taken place, with the NASA Office of Public Affairs having "reduced, marginalized or mischaracterized climate change science made available to the general public".
[119]
In June 2006, Hansen appeared on
60 Minutes stating that the George W. Bush White House had edited climate-related press releases reported by federal agencies to make global warming seem less threatening.
[69] He also stated that he was unable to speak freely without the backlash of other government officials, and that he had not experienced that level of restrictions on communicating with the public during his career.
