Climate change seems to be an issue that will not die. Even when science refutes it, the call for crippling our economy in the name of the environment continues. Climate change enthusiasts seem to overlook the fact that America has reduced its carbon footprint significantly in the past few years. Meanwhile, the march toward green energy that so far is unworkable continues.<\/p>\n
Today Issues and Answers<\/a> reported the following:<\/p>\n \u201cA climate advocacy group called Skeptical Science hosts a list of academics that it has labeled \u2018climate misinformers,\u2019\u201d Pielke recently wrote in Forbes<\/a>. \u201cThe list includes 17 academics and is intended as a blacklist.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Pielke says we know this through a Skeptical Science blogger \u201cnamed Dana Nuccitelli.\u201d According to Pielke, Nuccitelli believes that Judith Curry should be \u201cunhirable in academia\u201d based on her statements about global warming.<\/strong><\/p>\n Nuccitelli tweeted<\/a> that \u201cCurry\u2019s words, as documented \u2026 are what make her \u2018unhirable.\u2019\u201d Both the blog and Nuccitelli of course deny there\u2019s a blacklist.<\/strong><\/p>\n The \u201cunhirable\u201d Curry is no crank. She is the former chair of Georgia Tech\u2019s School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, and is a fellow of both the American Geophysical Union and American Meteorological Society. She stepped down from her position at Georgia Tech at the insistence of an administrator, she told Pielke. The Earth and Atmospheric Sciences dean had heard from \u201cseveral activist climate scientists who had a very direct pipeline to\u201d the dean\u2019s office, and had expressed their \u201cextreme displeasure\u201d over Curry\u2019s presence at the school, she said.<\/strong><\/p>\n Curry looked into positions at other universities, interviewed for two, but was never hired. According to her headhunter, \u201cthe show stopper was my public profile in the climate debate.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Follow the link to the article to see more examples of this blacklisting.<\/p>\n This is even more concerning when you consider the following the following comments about the true agenda of the climate-change movement:<\/p>\n Have doubts? Then listen to the words of former\u00a0United Nations climate official\u00a0Ottmar Edenhofer<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cOne has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy<\/a>. This has almost nothing to do with the environmental policy anymore, with problems such as deforestation or the ozone hole,\u201d said Edenhofer, who\u00a0co-chaired the U.N.\u2019s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change<\/a> working group on Mitigation of Climate Change<\/a> from 2008 to 2015.<\/strong><\/p>\n So what is the goal of environmental policy?<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWe redistribute de facto the world\u2019s wealth by climate policy,\u201d said\u00a0Edenhofer.<\/strong><\/p>\n This quote is posted in an article at rightwinggranny<\/a> on March 30, 2016.
