This brings us to why Curry left the world of the academy and
government-funded research. “Climatology has become a political party
with totalitarian tendencies,” she charges. “If you don’t support the UN
consensus on human-caused global warming, if you express the slightest
skepticism, you are a ‘climate-change denier,’ a stooge of Donald Trump,
a quasi-fascist who must be banned from the scientific community.”
These days, the climatology mainstream accepts only data that reinforce
its hypothesis that humanity is behind global warming. Those daring to
take an interest in possible natural causes of climactic variation—such
as solar shifts or the earth’s oscillations—aren’t well regarded in the
scientific community, to put it mildly. The rhetoric of the
alarmists, it’s worth noting, has increasingly moved from “global
warming” to “climate change,” which can mean anything. That shift got
its start back in 1992, when the UN widened its range of environmental
concern to include every change that human activities might be causing
in nature, casting a net so wide that few human actions could escape it.
