Junk Science: Without evidence to back up their claims, climate zealots have taken to intimidation. They're blacklisting academics who have the nerve to question the "settled science" of climate change.

In that op-ed, Rossiter called himself an "Africanist." He not only questioned the science behind climate change warnings but the impact of abandoning fossil fuels on human progress on a continent that's lowest in production of carbon emissions and the neediest in terms of economic development.
For his questioning of climate orthodoxy, Rossiter, an adjunct professor at American University, was sacked via email from his position with the Institute for Policy Studies.

He believes that position dooms the African continent to reliance on green energy sources such as wind and solar that are erratic and unreliable.

I hope it cleared the Ministry of NewWordSpeak.
Hardly mentioned is that the Columbine shooters were also placed on Ritalin, a psychiatric drug. Just about every mass shooting over the last 10 or so years was a result of someone on some kind of drug. But while the political left seems to only want less guns, they also want more drugs.
