University dumps professor who found polar bears thriving despite climate change

Nobody has done more to sink the claim that climate change is endangering polar bears than zoologist Susan Crockford — and she may have paid for it with her job.

After 15 years as an adjunct assistant professor, Ms. Crockford said the University of Victoria refused without explanation in May to renew her contract, despite her high profile as a speaker and author stemming from her widely cited research on polar bears and dog domestication.

Ms. Crockford accused officials at the Canadian university of bowing to “outside pressure,” the result of her research showing that polar bear populations are stable and even thriving, not plummeting as a result of shrinking Arctic sea ice, defying claims of the climate change movement.

Her dismissal, which she announced Wednesday in a post on her Polar Bear Science blog, has spurred alarm over the implications for academic freedom and the rise of the “cancel culture” for professors and scientists who challenge climate catastrophe predictions.

“When push came to shove, UVic threw me under the bus rather than stand up for my academic freedom,” said Ms. Crockford, who earned a Ph.D. in interdisciplinary studies, specifically biology and anthropology, in 2004.

This is exactly the 360 degrees opposite of what a university is supposed to do

PLEASE rethink this. If you are heading north and do a 360 degree turn, what direction are you now going?

As for this lady, yes, the PC Culture has struck!

You are going...to be dizzy.

There is NO TRUTH unless it agrees with our positions.

The left practices the real definition of fascism.

Exactly what they did to Pat Michaels, for State climatologist in VA.

Precisely.

This is crazy. I’ve spoken with Dr. Crockford. She’s awesome. This is just sad. She’s one of the good guys.

LOL! 😃

That’s how the left works. Think the way they want you to think or lose your source of income and find that you can’t get another job in the field in which you are qualified.

If the GW crowd were actually interested in the polar bears they would be rejoicing. Since they are not, one can only assume their previous concern is fraudulent.
