It is hard for the masses of "Global Warming" Eunuchs to continue the constant flow of Government Expanding Funds if their Climate Change Scam is exposed for the Hoax it really is! Centrally controlled government loves the "Global Warming" hoax. It has the prospect for near total control of the populous through regulation of earth, air and water, new, added taxes and fees on every breath we take, every plant and animal we eat and every mode by which we move. It even has religious fervor, based on myth and faith, filled with zealotry, fanaticism and piety for doing good by saving the planet though self-sacrifice. It has it all! What a Con! m/r
I spent much of Wednesday guest-hosting America's Number One radio show. You can find a few moments from today's show here
- including a reference to the story of most personal interest to me,
the news that the distinguished climate scientist Judith Curry had
decided to resign from her position at Georgia Tech:
The superficial reason is that I want to do other things... The deeper reasons have to do with my growing disenchantment with
universities, the academic field of climate science and scientists.
Dr Curry elaborates:
A deciding factor was that 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 (I
have worked through these issues with a number of skeptical young
scientists).
By "career suicide", Dr Curry means that, if you dissent from the Big
Climate orthodoxy, thug enforcers like Dr Michael E Mann will take the
hockey stick to you until there's nothing left.
