Interview with Dr. Judith Curry by Hannes Sarv, published originally on freedom-research.org

“Your funding, your salary increase, your tenure case is tied to agreeing with the ‘consensus.’ It’s really about careerism and resources. They all have to dance to that same drum beat if they want to get professional recognition and professional advancement,” says Dr. Judith Curry, professor emeritus at the Georgia Institute of Technology, describing the state of climate science and research in recent years.”

“It’s not science anymore. It has become a pseudo science,” Curry says. “The hardcore physics-based climate dynamics such as what we had in the 1980s—that’s just a small sliver of what we now define as climate science. What the students are getting their PhDs in—they analyze the output of these climate models, looking for some sort of catastrophe that they can identify and write a paper on without ever even critically evaluating these models or how they should be used. It’s just sort of nonsense, but it has received so much funding,” Curry explains.

Dr. Judith Curry is a renowned U.S. climatologist. Until 2014, she chaired the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Curry left the university in 2017 due to pressure from the so-called climate consensus and because of restrictions on freedom of speech.

Glad to see that someone is willing to say that the emperor is naked.
