Georgia Tech Climatologist Chooses 'Career Suicide' to Keep Her 'Scientific Integrity'; Our Universities are becoming scary places

A climatologist at Georgia Institute of Technology resigned from her post because she could no longer navigate the stifling political orthodoxy on climate change.

Former chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Tech Judith Curry announced her resignation in a blog post on Tuesday. While he resignation is technically "a retirement event," and she is "cashing out" to get her pension, Curry explained that "the deeper reasons have to do with my growing disenchantment with universities, the academic field of climate science and scientists."

30 years ago, you attended a university to learn.
Today, it's all about compliance. Go with the consensus or we will force you out.

Now there is an unbiased source.

Sounds like she didn't get her grant renewed and has to blame it on someone other than herself

but, but, but - "settled science"

I guess our friends on the left just aren't interested in exploring dissenting opinions; even to the point where actual evidence that does not support the narrative is "anti science"

so sad
Republicans sign checks on the front, democrats sign them on the back…True story!

This is the new liberal agenda, silencing dissention and punishing those who disagree. The American left is playing catch up with other brutal leftist regimes.

Of course none of what the Righties posted here is correct. Here is a detailed analysis that originally appeared in Scientific American and reprinted. I doubt it will have much of an impact there which illustrates the problem that she found herself in.

Along the way, she has come to question how climatologists react to those who question the science, no matter how well established it is. ... :mad:


Well established? Sez who?

Yes, some things in climate science are "well established." Many are not. Which is which is not referred to in the above quote. But, but, ...the sentence implies that she, Curry, is NOT part of the "well established."

No, all it says is she wanted to be "warm and fuzzy" to deniers and give them a hearing where most of her colleagues have given up trying to talk to the deniers.

Well established means that the science and most of the scientists all are in agreement. It doesn't mean everyone, you can never find 100% agreement but when you get 90%+ it is a pretty good sign.
