"James E. Hansen, the NASA climate scientist who sparked an uproar last month by accusing the Bush administration of keeping scientific information from reaching the public, said Friday that officials at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are also muzzling researchers who study global warming......'It seems more like Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union than the United States,' said Hansen, prompting a round of applause from the audience..........
"New School President Bob Kerrey, a former Democratic senator from Nebraska, said he invited Hansen to speak because he was "very concerned" about what he called the administration's efforts to steer the debate over global warming: 'It's not only inappropriate; it stifles the very debate we're trying to have today, and that we need to have on this issue.'
"Kerrey said of Hansen, 'He's not a radical; he's a scientist who's studied the issue. Let the disagreement occur without stifling one side of the argument.'
The article speaks for itself!
