Warmist Judith Curry Admits ‘Climate Change’ Is A Manufactured Crisis

Realistically, it matters not whether the current warm period is mostly/solely caused by Mankind or mostly/solely caused by nature. It’s the responses from the climate cult are the issue

Scientist admits the ‘overwhelming consensus’ on the climate change crisis is ‘manufactured’

We are told climate change is a crisis, and that there is an “overwhelming scientific consensus.”

“It’s a manufactured consensus,” climate scientist Judith Curry tells me.

She says scientists have an incentive to exaggerate risk to pursue “fame and fortune.”

She knows about that because she once spread alarm about climate change.

The media loved her when she published a study that seemed to show a dramatic increase in hurricane intensity.

And when there were criticisms of her work, she did research and realized that the science was a bit off, and that all the other Warmists, including the politicians and media didn’t care, they just wanted the fear.

Then the Climategate scandal taught her that other climate researchers weren’t so open-minded.

Alarmist scientists’ aggressive attempts to hide data suggesting climate change is not a crisis were revealed in leaked emails.

“Ugly things,” says Curry.

“Avoiding Freedom of Information Act requests. Trying to get journal editors fired.”

It made Curry realize that there is a “climate-change industry” set up to reward alarmism.

It’s a good article based on the discussion with Curry, and, perhaps you’ve noticed that she gets barely any airplay for years now? Because she is attempting to do science, not be a cult activist, so, no one in the cult will listen. Scientists are corrupted

Then she answers her own question: “Promote the alarming papers! Don’t even send the other ones out for review. If you wanted to advance in your career, like be at a prestigious university and get a big salary, have big laboratory space, get lots of grant funding, be director of an institute, there was clearly one path to go.”

Look, even if the warming is mostly caused by Mankind, why is everything linked to it, and why is it always Doom? I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, it’s a way for people to give up their money and freedom.

If Curry thought she was blackballed (greenballed?) before, wait till they get a load of this interview.
