“We have been misled in our quest to understand climate change by not paying sufficient attention to natural causes of climate variability – in particular from the sun and the long-term oscillations in ocean circulation.” – Dr. Judith Curry



Must Watch: Climatologist Breaks the Silence on Global Warming Groupthink – Challenges IPCC conclusions.

Dr. Judith Curry is Professor and former Chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Here are her remarks as delivered to last week’s US Senate Commerce Committee Hearing on “Data or Dogma? Promoting Open Inquiry in the Debate Over the Magnitude of the Human Impact on Earth’s Climate.”

“There is tremendous pressure for scientists to conform to the so-called consensus,” says Curry. “This pressure comes not only from politicians, but from federal funding agencies, universities, and professional societies and scientists themselves who are Green activists. Reinforcing this consensus are strong monetary, reputational and authority interests.”

Merely another lobbyist group

“Advocating for carbon dioxide emissions reductions is becoming the default expected position for climate scientists…. Policy advocacy when combined with understating the uncertainties risks destroying science’s reputation for honesty and objectivity, without which scientists risk becoming regarded as merely another lobbyist group.”
