A climate scientist from Georgia Tech is facing the
blunt end of a hockey stick from fanatics who want to politicize “global
warming.” Judith Curry agrees to some
extent with the alarmists that human activity may contribute to warming, but
she refuses to hop aboard the watermelon express and for that she’s paying a
price. Here is an excerpt from
Watchdog.org:
“We have this politically correct, green position that all
scientists are supposed to pledge allegiance to,” Curry told Watchdog.org. “I’m
not going to pledge allegiance to that silliness.”
For such plain
talk Curry has been called a “climate heretic” by
Scientific American magazine and
was described by outspoken climate change advocate and Penn State scientist
Michael Mann as a “serial climate misinformer.”
Earlier this year,
Curry was one of seven climate scientists who had letters sent to their
respective universities from
U.S. House of Representatives member Raul Grijalva, D-Arizona, demanding they
disclose “potential conflicts of interest and failure to disclose corporate
funding sources in academic climate research.”
Grijalva backed down after receiving criticism of
McCarthyism, but another controversial political tactic from Capitol Hill has
Curry believing scientists who question the numbers and conclusions put out by
organizations like theIntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change are under attack.
Last week, 20 climate scientists sent a letter to
President Obama, Attorney General Loretta Lynch and the head of the White
House Office of Science and Technology Policy “strongly” supporting a RICO
investigation similar to the way tobacco companies were summoned before
Congress from 1999-2006.
These so-called
scientists want to criminalize dissent? These
people are ruthless.
