Climate scientist Shukla investigation deepens
Science Agency Eyes Climate Change Professor’s Use of Millions From Taxpayers 3/23/16
The National Science Foundation’s inspector general appears poised to look into Jagadish Shukla’s management of federal grant money, much of it from the science agency itself.
The science agency has its own rules and guidelines governing grants, which would be applicable to the millions Shukla, 71, received from the agency.
“The longstanding cozy relationship between [government] grant-makers and grantees makes them blind to even the most obvious conflict of interest,” Bonner Cohen, a scholar with a free-market think tank in Washington, told The Daily Signal.
Shukla, a professor at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., led the charge by 20 college professors to urge a federal investigation aimed at scientific skeptics who differ with their views on climate change.
At the same time, Shukla, his wife, and his research center were awash in taxpayers’ money, according to an internal audit by the university on which The Daily Signal previously reported.
Heh - Streisand Effect writ large - at 71 years old I do not know if he will do jail time but he certainly is most deserving of ten years or so. This is our money handed to him by government and he has misspent it on bad science... I want a refund!
