RETIRED PROFESSOR TURNS WHISTLEBLOWER ON CLIMATE CHANGE

While much of the debate over climate change surrounds whether or not it is occurring, one glaciologist and retired professor says the real issue is that the topic is being used as a political pawn to siphon money and votes.

Dr. Terry Hughes, in an interview with The College Fix, said researchers want to keep federal funding for climate change alive, and politicians want to earn environmentalist votes, and both predict global pandemonium to that end.

Hughes, a professor emeritus of earth sciences and climate change at the University of Maine, said for years his colleagues urged him to be in lockstep with former Vice President Al Gore – “the drum major in the parade denouncing global warming as an unmitigated disaster,” he told The College Fix.

As Rush often says, "Follow the money." This article says a lot about the lack of integrity of liberal college profs and scientists. Lib profs and scientists often claim to be scientifically objective and accuse others of greed, but they sometimes will shade their findings if they think they can get more money by claiming their results point toward man-made global warming. They can be a bunch of greedy hypocrites. Michael Mann, the "hockey stick" guy at Penn State is a great example.

Academics are some of the most stupid, gullible, yet self confident and self-righteous jackasses on the face of the earth.

As always, follow the money.

Professor Emeritus - he doesn’t have to worry about research grants anymore so now he can be honest.

Nice of him to admit it but the informed Americans already know it, the moonbat crowd will never accept it and the LIV crowd probably doesn’t give a rip.

Until the majority of scientists defect and do the same nothing will change much. $$CLimate Change$$ is too big too fail.

Just as I suspected, Global Warming is caused by government grants to academics.

Michael Mann, the "hockey stick" guy at Penn State is a great example.

As Mark Steyn says, Michael Mann should be in the state pen, not at Penn State.

More news you’ll never see in the NYT, LSAT or CNN.

Jeez Perfesser thanks for schooling me on what is obvious.

This is professor Hughes and he’s serious.

LIV?

[Jacquerie]

Democrats soil institutions.

DJ, I am taking that from you.

“Just as I suspected, Global Warming is caused by government grants to academics.”

[glasseye]

Intellectuals can convince themselves of anything for they are so little bound by what is before their eyes.

Stolen quote... :-)

DJ Taylor:" Just as I suspected,
Global Warming is caused by government grants to academics."

Agreed !

"Global Warming is caused by government grants to academics."

Stalin

Is that a real quote because if it is that’s going in my arsenal of quotes...lol

[Billthedrill]

I believe that quote was from George Orwell.

[gaijin]

It’s Stalin or Lenin, I think.

[gaijin]

Turns out he’s right —it’s Orwell.
