Climate Inquisition Silenced a Generation of Scientists
By Vijay Jayaraj
When researchers abandon empirical observation in favor of predetermined conclusions, science transforms into propaganda – something far more dangerous than the simple ignorance perpetuated. In climate sciences, funding agencies and international political bodies have dictated outcomes while authentic scientists faced systematic marginalization for questioning the prevailing narrative.
The issue of climate change generates fierce debate among scientists, yet the public mostly gets a sanitized representation of nearly unanimous agreement. This is a pernicious deception given the high stakes: Climate science influences public policy that drives huge sums in public and private expenditures across industries – from energy to agriculture – and affects billions of lives.
Much of our world’s economic fortunes have been damaged by computer simulations of climate models that regularly fail testing against real-word observations. These models, which serve as the foundation for multi-trillion-dollar “net zero” policies, have a well-documented history of overpredicting warming. They are programmed with a high sensitivity to CO2 while systematically downplaying the powerful roles of ocean cycles, solar variability, cloud absorption of radiation, carbon sinks and volcanic activity.
Dr. Judith Curry, professor emerita at Georgia Institute of Technology, exposes the reality behind this manufactured consensus: “What climate scientists actually agree on is very little. Everyone agrees that it’s been warming since about the middle 19th century. Everyone agrees that we’re adding carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere. But scientists do not agree on the most consequential issues, such as how much of the recent warming has been caused by humans.”https://co2coalition.org/2025/08/28/climate-inquisition-silenced-a-generation-of-scientists/
