WUWT readers may recall our coverage of Charles Monnett, whose antics with polar bear sitings and attribution led Al Gore to put this famous animated video clip into An Inconvenient Truth and make wild claims about polar bears drowning for lack of sea ice:


Monnett's legal case is over, and he has been forced to resign:

Scientist settles legal case over study of polar bear drownings

Becky Bohrer, The Associated Press / 37 min ago

JUNEAU, Alaska - An Alaska scientist whose observations of drowned polar bears helped galvanize the global warming movement has retired as part of a settlement with a federal agency. Charles Monnett was briefly suspended in 2011 from his work with the U.S. ...

Under the settlement, signed in October but released by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility on Wednesday, Monnett will receive $100,000 but cannot seek Interior Department work for five years. His retirement was effective Nov. 15, at which point the agency agreed to withdraw the letter of reprimand and issue Monnett a certificate for his work on the tracking project.


So the message is: be a dimwit, make stuff up, and get paid for it. No word yet on whether he'll get to keep the cushy retirement package that Federal Employees get.

Looking further, it appears that he'll be able to keep it.

According to the PEER Union, they claim "vindication":

Read the settlement agreement

Revisit three-year IG investigation

See the Monnett whistleblower complaint

Comment: It does indeed send a bad message. Just like the bankers, a slap on the wrist and a nice pay-out. As in the last days of Rome, no moral compass.

Well, at least it only cost him $30 M to lose an election it cost Karl Rove and company $80M to rig...even with "little bro" pulling the strings in Florida...

And it seems Lil bro will get his shot in 2016....as promised..

It seems Repulsicons just don't want to win..... or their counting on everyone hating the Libs real good by then

Since there is so much global warming I think the Gorbinator should go up and count those drowning bears himself......
