Criminalizing climate science: 'It's a crazy situation,' says Georgia Tech scientist

Criminalizing climate science: 'It's a crazy situation,' says Georgia Tech scientist - Watchdog.org
Climate scientist Judith Curry says data tell her the earth’s surface temperature is definitely warming and humans have something to do with it.
In the increasingly polarized world of climate research where, with increasing frequency, one side is labeled “deniers” and the other is called “alarmists,” the decorated scientist at Georgia Tech has become a target.
But the fire isn’t coming from those who deride her conclusions about a hotter planet, but instead from scientists who actually agree with her.
Why?
Because Curry questions how much of the earth’s warming can be attributed to humans and is resistant to calling for political prescriptions for climate change.
“We have this politically correct, green position that all scientists are supposed to pledge allegiance to,” Curry told Watchdog.org.
“I’m not going to pledge allegiance to that silliness.”
For such plain talk Curry has been called a “climate heretic” by Scientific American magazine and was described by outspoken climate change advocate and Penn State scientist Michael Mann as a “serial climate misinformer.”
Earlier this year, Curry was one of seven climate scientists who had letters sent to their respective universities from U.S. House of Representatives member Raul Grijalva, D-Arizona, demanding they disclose “potential conflicts of interest and failure to disclose corporate funding sources in academic climate research...”
