15-Year-Old Byrnes Outsmarts NASA’s Global Warming Alarmist James Hansen | NewsBusters.org
CNN prez praises net's 'commitment' to 'unbiased' coverage 15-Year-Old Byrnes Outsmarts NASA’s Global Warming Alarmist James Hansen By Noel Sheppard | June 7, 2007 - 10:24 ET On May 18, NewsBusters introduced you to Kristen Byrnes , theВ fabulous fifteen-year-old from Maine who had torn apart many of the myths purported by the Global Warmingist-in-Chief, soon-to-be-Dr. Al Gore, in his schlockumentary “An Inconvenient Truth.” Now, the Precocious Ponderer from Portland is taking on the scientist that Gore relied on for much of his misinformation, James Hansen of NASA .

U. S. Senator and former Presidential Candidate John Kerry’s wife’s fo You know the old saying; “nothing in politics is free.” So my first question is: what did he do to get the quarter of a million dollars? Was it the price for switching his political standing from “independent” to democratic when he later endorsed John Kerry for President? Was it payment for interpreting his department’s data in a way that would benefit his political friends ?
