A new book by a leading climate change scientist gives reason for hope that the light of truth is shedding a few rays into the dark, dystopian, ideologically driven pseudoscience known as global warming.
With the 2023 publication of Climate Uncertainty and Risk: Rethinking Our Response, geoscientist Judith A. Curry, Ph.D., acknowledges that, in 2007, she “joined the consensus” in supporting the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report as “authoritative.” What changed her perspective was Climategate, the 2009 hacking and unauthorized release of emails from the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia. The email exchanges between climate scientists and IPCC authors confirmed her “concerns and suspicions” that “politics and personal agendas” had encroached on the IPCC assessment process.
In 2017, Curry resigned from a prestigious faculty position as chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology. “As a result of the polarization of climate science, I found that I had lost my love of science in the context of the academic ecosystem,” she admits.
Curry is currently employed in the private sector as president of Climate Forecast Applications Network (CFAN), a company she co-founded in 2006 under Georgia Tech’s VentureLab program. There she is involved in “real-world decision-making to manage weather- and climate-related risks.” She also created the highly respected blog Climate Etc., for which she has written numerous posts.

In her new book, Curry acknowledges that a changing climate “has been the norm throughout the Earth’s 4.6-billion-year history.” She refuses to abandon the idea that we humans “are also changing atmospheric composition by increasing the emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases,” but she adds an important caveat:

The result is that the common parlance refers to “climate change,” with no mention of natural climate variability. Any change that is observed over the past century is now implicitly assumed to be caused by human emissions to the atmosphere. This assumption leads to connecting every unusual weather or climate event to human-caused climate change from fossil fuel emissions. Having acknowledged that climate change is the “norm” throughout the Earth’s 4.6-billion-year history, Curry understands that this politicized attribution of all climate change to humans burning hydrocarbon fuels is nonsense.

As Eric Weinstein, the physicist, said about science being politicized, once politics is injected into an issue or a field of study, it can no longer be trusted to produce reliable results.
Well look there; she agrees with God.
Cancellation of Dr. Curry in 3...2...1.
Too late. It has become religion
Her academic peers cancelled Dr. Curry years ago.
She's a regular contributor on Watts Up With That, the OG of climate 'denier' sites that pointed out that almost all of the recent warming trends could be traced to poorly placed temperature stations at airports that have grown over the years, are now next to (or in!) paved parking lots or are exposed to jet blast from aircraft, both causing artificially high temperature readings.
This book won’t change a thing. The global warming scammers don’t care about science or facts. Its money making scheme ..either through investing in the scam via the markets..or government fraud via the government or money from idiots who contribute to loony eco/GW causes.
The government has bribed and threatened everyone involved to be on board. Any others will be marginalized and silenced and labeled as providing disinformation.
Consider that CO2 exists a trace gas in our atmosphere at about 400 parts per MILLION. Most CO2 comes from natural sources. CO2 is the basis for life for all green plants from single celled algae to giant redwoods. To assume that the entire climate of this planet hinges on part per million changes in a single trace gas is patently absurd as such an assumption ignores other more significant factors such as the variability of the suns output, the wobble in the tilt of the earths axis relative to the sun and changes in deep ocean currents. Human caused global warming is simply a dogma of the climate change cult religion, not something seriously supported by actual science.
She was canceled years ago, as soon as she spoke up about the emails of concern back in 2009.
Thanks for the information. I should have known that the climate cultists would never let such heresy go unchecked.
