Where Porkulus Meets "Climate Change"
Posted by The MaryHunter at January 16, 2010 1:15 PM
When government tosses money around under the guise of "stimulus" there are bound to be some shady individuals that benefit. In this case, Michael Mann of ClimateGate fame, who is being investigated by his institution for global warming fraud, benefitted to the tune of over $500,000.
In the face of rising unemployment and record-breaking deficits, policy experts at the National Center for Public Policy Research are criticizing the Obama Administration for awarding a half million dollar grant from the economic stimulus package to Penn State Professor Michael Mann, a key figure in the Climategate controversy.
"It's outrageous that economic stimulus money is being used to support research conducted by Michael Mann at the very time he's under investigation by Penn State and is one of the key figures in the international Climategate scandal. Penn State should immediately return these funds to the U.S. Treasury," said Tom Borelli, Ph.D., director of the National Center's Free Enterprise Project.
The $541,184 grant is for three years and was initiated in June 2009.
Well, here was at least one job "funded" by Porkulus -- nevermind that it's all for the sake of a hoax.
We're from the Government. We're here to stimulate you, especially if you believe in AGW.
