The chair of the House Science Committee has criticized NASA for what he sees as its heavy-handed treatment of James Hansen, director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York City, a longtime voice on the dangers of global warming. "Good science cannot long persist in an atmosphere of intimidation," says Representative Sherwood Boehlert (R-NY) in a letter to NASA Administrator Michael Griffin sent this week after news reports that the agency is trying to muzzle Hansen. "NASA is clearly doing something wrong," wrote Boehlert. NASA officials insist that all agency employees are subject to the same rules, and that Hansen is not being singled out.
