Renowned climate scientist who once warned about global warming now says alarmists push crisis for 'fame and fortune'

[BLAZE] A renowned climate scientist has proclaimed that the consensus regarding climate change among the scientific community is "manufactured." The climatologist declared that climate crisis alarmists push an extreme narrative for "fame and fortune."

Dr. Judith Curry is the president of the Climate Forecast Applications Network. She served on the NASA Advisory Council Earth Science Subcommittee, was part of the NOAA Climate Working Group, and was a fellow of the American Meteorological Society. Curry was the former chair of Georgia Tech’s School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences and held faculty positions at the University of Colorado, Penn State University, and Purdue University. Curry has authored more than 180 scientific papers. She has received scientific funding from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Science Foundation, and the Department of Energy.

Curry became a media darling after she published a paper in 2005 that claimed there was a relation between the increased intensity of hurricanes and global warming. The research claimed that Category 4 and 5 hurricanes had doubled and attributed this trend to climate change.

#1 Curry became skeptical of climate change alarmism after the Climategate scandal erupted in 2009. She later admitted that her critics had a point and confessed that her research had some "bad data" and that "natural climate variability" was a factor.

#2 There has been NO increased intensity of hurricanes, so looking for any causation becomes, uh, moot.

From 1915 to 1965 hurricanes were more numerous and powerful than they have been from 1965 to 2015. For all but those incapacitated by e/video ennui it is ridiculously easy to look up.

Now, since our betters there on the Big Rock Candy Mountain on the Potomac decided it was a wise and far seeing policy to insure virtually anything built in any proximity to the ocean costs from hurricane damage have sky rocketed.

#3 the consensus regarding climate change among the scientific community is "manufactured".

And when we say manufactured, we mean the biggest scientific hoax since the Piltdown Man. Which is a pity since figuring out how planetary climate works is a fascinating problem. Hint: it has f**kall to do with carbon dioxide.
