I’ve deleted a number of posts and got tired. Steve Mosher is one of the few people who got my nuance. I’ve got a few more thoughts but will close this thread for a while until I post those thoughts.

If he’s saying that Hansen has a fiefdom with supporters going all the way into congress (and probably the EPA), yes. That’s obvious. Is it ok? No.

I do not think OMB will have a similar attitude as NASA. What they are doing is clearly against both the spirit and the letter of the regulation. OMB cannot allow Gavin to get away with this and expect to keep other government employees on the straight and narrow. It is that simple.

Maybe they’ve seen the data too.

Poor SteveM. Out having a nice day and coming back with this mess here!

You referred to #192. Just because RealClimate claims they work on the website on their personal time does not make it true. We have Gavin’s time stamped posts showing he is working on it during regular business hours. The evidence against him is unshakable.

Thanks for another outstanding thread. It is clear Gavin has violated NASA and other federal policies (OMB). It appears Jim Hansen probably also has violated these policies in that he no doubt knows Gavin has been working on RealClimate during NASA business hours.

Some changes are definitely in order. NASA should not link to RealClimate website as long as Gavin is a NASA employee. Also, Gavin should not be allowed to post to RealClimate during work hours. The right agency to look into this would be OMB. While NASA could be self-regulating, I doubt that will happen. OMB should be willing to ask Gavin and Jim Hansen some pointed questions about their knowledge of federal policies. Gavin should be given the opportunity to play by the rules or find other employment. Perhaps Gavin will decide to become a full-time employee of Environmental Media Services – the PR company that registered RealClimate.com.

Perhaps the best way to get OMB’s attention on this matter is to have Senator Inhofe send them a letter. Does any reader here live in the great state of Oklahoma?
