Thank God there are still a few brave souls out there.
Joe Bastardi is another, great guy.

Commons Climatologist and former chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology Judith Curry has announced her resignation effective immediately on her blog, Climate, Etc. I have long found Curry to be an honest researcher and a fair-minded disputant in the ongoing debates over man-made climate change. She excelled at pointing out the uncertainties and deficiencies of climate modeling. Given the thoroughly politicized nature of climate science her efforts to clarify what is known and unknown by climate science caused her to be pilloried as "anti-science" by other researchers who are convinced that man-made global warming is leading toward catastrophe. In her blog annoucement Curry explains her resignation:

We badly need Dr. Judith Curry in a high-level science policy position in the Trump Administration.

We need more Judith Currys and far fewer Bill Nyes.
When you are funded by this government you are forced to follow thier agenda
Eisenhower warned of this in his farewell speech, the same one in which he warned of the Military-Industrial Complex.
Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.

btt
Flood GT with letters about how they have created a hateful atmosphere.
Joe Bastardi is another, great guy.
I've followed some of Judith's commentary on "Watts up with That" climate blog, and never got the impression that GT was the source of the problem. It was rather other problems from the "climatistas" outside the university.
13 days left with the in your face leader of gloom and doom.
“Climate Change” reminds me of those old cartoons you used to see a lot with a guy, usually holding a Bible or cross, with a sign that says, “The earth will end on Saturday night”. Like the guy in the cartoons, it never comes true.
These people can’t tell you where a hurricane will strike beyond about 100 hours (if that) with accuracy, and yet they want us to believe they know what will happen a 100 years from now. Pfffft.
Yes, she has focused most of her complaints on the general intellectual environment in her profession rather than Georgia Tech in particular. She will retire from GT and devote more time to her successful, growing consulting firm which provides regional weather forecasts for private clients.
Yes but the tense is incorrect.
Her actions should at least consider the future rather than the past.
Disclaimer: If she is considering a law suit for occupational harassment the action is justified, even mandatory
Could you post a link?
I’ve tried for some time, without success, to find the “other half” of the “military-industrial complex” warning.
The Liberals are continually browbeating us with the “M-I” quote while in fact, the more pernicious of the two is the scientific-academic half.
Mumbo-Jumbo from the high priesthood of the intelligentsia is much easier to create than actual hardware from the M-I complex.
>>Yes, Judith, we’ve known for some time now that Global Warming is caused by government grants to academics. <<
But it doesn’t do anything until enough “scientists” vote on it. THEN it does its damage.
I saw her last night. She is a REAL scientist, one who you can respect because she is legitimately curious. She wants to know if.....why.......how.
We need more scientists like her instead of all the grant whores who will say and do anything for grant money
I don’t want to see her in government, I want someone to hire her to be the high profile leader of a lab that can train and sponsor young scientists who will have her ethics
