I've read that the same sort of thing is happening in the world of physics. Professors who support string theory get tenured, and then promoted. Professors who doubt string theory get shown the door.

So much for healthy skepticism. It seems like we have regressed to a time before the Age of Enlightenment. Accept the establishment viewpoint, or get fired.

If anyone doesnt think thismis how it is for just about evrrything else, they are crazy.

All the nutrition info at these very same places have destroyed the careers of researchers who didnt affirm the hypotheses their grants were supposed to support.

I saw the interview also. It’s worse than you described. Professor Curry put herself among the “98%” of scientists who acknowledge global warming and conclude that human activity has contributed to it. Her sin was to emphasize the imprecision of the estimates of the extent of warming and the fraction contributed by humanity, as well as to challenge the wisdom of extreme and costly policy interventions that might alter future warming by, at most, less than one degree centigrade over the next century.
