I was, in effect, Hansen’s supervisor because I had to justify his funding, allocate his resources, and evaluate his results.

This should also serve as proof that Theon was not Hansen’s boss. That won’t stop you deniers from spreading misinformation and rumors, though, will it? How about answering some actual scientific questions about the Sun and water vapor, or why you give credit to methane and not CO2?

“Dr. Theon appears to have retired from NASA in 1994, some 15 years ago. Until yesterday I had never heard of him (despite working with and for NASA for the last 13 years). His insights into both modelling and publicity appear to date from then, rather than any recent events. He was not Hansen’s ‘boss’ (the director of GISS reports to the director of GSFC, who reports to the NASA Administrator). His “some scientists” quote is simply a smear – which scientists? where? what did they do? what data? what manipulation? This kind of thing plays well with Inhofe et al because it appears to add something to the ‘debate’, but in actual fact there is nothing here. Just vague, unsubstantiated accusations.”
