Dr. Judith Curry, a respected climate scientist, has announced her resignation from her tenured position at Georgia Tech.

She’s had enough of the politics and propaganda that beset climate science.

Dr. Curry explained, “the deeper reasons have to do with my growing disenchantment with universities, the academic field of climate science and scientists…  I no longer know what to say to students and postdocs regarding how to navigate the CRAZINESS in the field of climate science. Research and other professional activities are professionally rewarded only if they are channeled in certain directions approved by a politicized academic establishment — funding, ease of getting your papers published, getting hired in prestigious positions, appointments to prestigious committees and boards, professional recognition, etc.”

“How young scientists are to navigate all this is beyond me, and it often becomes a battle of scientific integrity versus career suicide.”

Dr. Curry appears in CFACT’s documentary film Climate Hustle which touches upon her journey from member of the climate establishment to principled dissenter, after being shocked by what was revealed in the “Climategate” emails.

Restoring integrity to climate science and making it once again a welcoming field for researchers like Dr. Curry won’t be easy.

Renowned atmospheric scientist Richard Lindzen of MIT has called for severe measures.

“They should probably cut the funding by 80 to 90 percent until the field cleans up,” he said. “Climate science has been set back two generations, and they have destroyed its intellectual foundations.”

As 2017 begins change is in the air.

Let’s work to ensure that change includes eliminating the witch hunting, politically correct propaganda, and data manipulation from climate science.
