An Australian university recently censured marine scientist Paul Ridd for failing to act in a collegial way and in the academic spirit of the institution, because he questioned popular claims among environmentalists about coral reefs and global warming.
What was Ridds crime? He found out two of the worlds leading organizations studying coral reefs were using misleading photographs to make the case that global warming was causing a mass reef die-off. Ridd wasnt rewarded for checking the facts and blowing the whistle on misleading science. Instead, James Cook University censured Ridd and threatened to fire him for questioning global warming orthodoxy.
These photographs are a big deal as they are plastered right across the internet and used very widely to claim damage, Ridd told The Weekend Australian newspaper.

Modern day inquisition continues; no different from Copernicus, Galileo, or Bruno.
In about 4.5 billion years, give or take a billion or so, the sun will become a red giant, engulfing the entire solar system out to the orbit of Mars, eradicating every living thing on the Earth and whatever else there may be within the Martian orbital sphere.......... THEN there will be Global Warming.
Torquemada would be proud................
LOL!
Very proud indeed!
spirit of fraud and deceit. I wouldn't allow my child to attend that college even if they paid the way. Kind of like the UC system where they teach climate change.
I have a “BS” in Climate Change Studies
Jedi mind trick didn’t work, so they fire him. Groupthink is mental illness!

No one expects the Climate Change Inquisition
“Failing to act in a collegial way!”
WoW! I’ll bet he will never fail to act in a “collegial” way again! Man! That’s a bad attitude for someone in the heights of academia!
