Anyone who criticized Gore's Inconvenient Truth was labeled a flat-earth dinosaur. Today, no self-respecting scientist would endorse any of Gore's models because they are an embarrassment to science. The discussion of "climate change" has been hijacked by a vocal minority of special interest groups - even Bjorn Lomborg was treated with hostility for challenging Gore's "Truths". Climate change has taken on a zealotry that parallels religious fanaticism. Science should be free of political bias but that concept is laughable in today's universities. Any academic who challenges "accepted" theories (like the impending apocalypse from climate change) faces professional ruin. It applies to all disciplines - the Globe still ignores any discussion of Jordan Peterson. The UN just elected Saudi Arabia to a panel on women's rights, just oozing with credibility. How about the relationship with population growth (birth rates) and environmental degradation (but birth control is blasphemous!).
