I'm sure this vid has been posted before... but it has been reposted on the platform today (not sure if it has been updated?)

But here it is again... really good & credible interview.

Thanks Hozzle. I had seen the video before, and Judith tells it as it is.
She has a lot of informative discussions on her personal site as she reposts a lot of scientific discussions.

In other news: a new paper is released telling us climate sensitivity is low and CO2 likely has little effect. Climate sensitivity has been getting lower over the years, although, some organizations still stand beside unusually high constant ranges, such as the IPCC.

Judith has a little credibility problem............something about never biting the hand that's feeding you.

Fossil Fuel Funding

As reported by DeSmog, in a 2022 deposition Curry said that Climate Forecast Applications Network’s clients included petroleum companies, electric utilities, and natural gas energy traders, and that she charged $400 an hour for her consulting services.

In 2015, Climate Wire reported that “Judith Curry, an atmospheric scientist who is often critical of dominant scientific views of climate change, is is being probed by Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.), who wants to know Curry’s funding sources. Curry runs a weather-forecasting business that supplies information to oil companies, among others.” 11

In 2010, Scientific American reporter Michael Lemonick questioned Judith Curry about potential conflicts of interest. She responded:12

“I do receive some funding from the fossil fuel industry. My company…does [short-term] hurricane forecasting…for an oil company, since 2007. During this period I have been both a strong advocate for the IPCC, and more recently a critic of the IPCC, there is no correlation of this funding with my public statements.”

Psst... I'm sure none of the blogs will mention this, but as of Oct. 10, the daily average Northern Hemisphere temperature had been at a record high for 100 consecutive days.

Who could have possibly seen that coming?


Funny how all the blogs missed it - eh? Oh well, who cares? Credibility doesn't count much these days.

Many climate scientists say they don’t know exactly why Earth’s fever suddenly spiked so high in September, and there “may never be a clear attribution” to a specific cause, said Gavin Schmidt, director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies. Most likely, it’s a combination of factors, he said, a climate recipe with “a little bit of everything combining in ways we haven’t seen before.”

But hey, if you have no critical thinking skills of your own, it's probably best you just glom onto an opinion that makes you feel comfortable.

Well, you happened to find it on a blog. No one would have seen it coming, because models aren't any good, and weather and ocean cycles are fairly random. Not that it has anything to do with climate or CO2.

Tell us how this relates to CO2. “There may never be a clear attribution” only because you're not going to find it in CO2.

Well, I see Judith before congress giving testimony since she is well trusted. You obviously have no clue of her history. I don't see Desmog before congress giving testimony. It is Desmog that has credibility issues.

Enjoy your climate alarmism beer and pay more tax.

.....Oh you mean, the climate change denying Republican subcommittee paid the go to man made climate change denying shrill to give ummmhmmm "expert" testimony for the fossil fuel industry like she does at other places?

Montana Is Paying a Climate Denier to Give Expert Testimony in Upcoming Trial

Montana has hired a climate scientist turned climate contrarian to be an expert witness in an upcoming trial challenging the state’s promotion of fossil fuels.

Climatologist Judith Curry has already billed the state around $30,000 for a report filed in the case Held v. State of Montana, according to the deposition she made in December to an attorney for the 16 young Montanans suing the state. Curry also claimed that she charged $400 an hour for her consulting work, although she did not disclose the full amount Montana will pay her for appearing in court.

Julia Olson, the lawyer who took Curry’s deposition, has described her as “the number one climate skeptic scientist that the Republicans go to for testimony in Congress, that the fossil fuel industry goes to.”

Yup, real credible. She"s definitely found her well compensated niche.

As I said, you have no clue. She is making half now than what she was in university as a climate kook. She's been on both sides. What don't you actually watch her video where she tells the story.

Hmmm......I'm wondering which one of us is the "clueless" one? I'm pretty sure a University prof wouldn't makes 400 bucks an hour or the millions being made by various sources from the man made climate denier groupies. It's obvious the fabricated stories she tells her devoted fans are swallowed hook, line and sinker.
I'm sure unlike some people that seem to think they know someone's personal finances, one can take a guess .......

Between 2014 and February 2019, Curry testified before at least six Republican-led House committees,

I'm thinking at $400/hr, she would have made a lot of money being the shill of the fossil fuel industry and those coal loving Republicans.

Net worth is not your take home pay and everyone's net worth typically increases as they age. She had a 6 digit income at university, and your information is not credible as usual.

Disclamer: Judith Curry net worth displayed here are calculated based on a combination social factors. Please only use it for a guidance and Judith Curry's actual income may vary a lot from the dollar amount shown above.

The Guardian lamenting the fact that New Zealand politicians aren't paying enough respects to the "Climate Crisis" (lol lol) as the failed loser globalist Jacinda Ardern. Boo hoo Guardian losers - New Zealand is waking up from their horrible "Klimate Kook" nightmare, as is the rest of the world....

‘Shocking silence’ over climate crisis in New Zealand election campaign draws criticism

In the lead up to New Zealand’s 2017 election, Jacinda Ardern, the then soon-to-be prime minister, called the climate emergency her generation’s “nuclear-free moment” – a reference to the bold stance the country took against nuclear power.

Her comments signalled renewed urgency in shaping New Zealand’s response to combatting one of the globe’s greatest existential threats. But six years on, with the country’s general election just days away, the climate emergency has been sidelined against discussions of crime, “co-governance” and the cost of living.

“There is a real disappointing lack of leadership across the political spectrum in response to [climate change],” said Nicola Toki, the chief executive of Forest & Bird – one of the country’s leading conservation organisations.

While each party has released environmental policies, questions and meaningful debate about the climate emergency have either been conspicuously absent or reduced to a few comments in many of the major televised leadership debates.

“We had a leadership debate a few weeks ago where there was not one reference to climate, yet Southland was being flooded and there were two significant wildfires through the eastern South Island,” Toki said. “It’s a bit terrifying we are not connecting the dots.”
On Wednesday, the ministry for the environment and Stats NZ released its latest report on New Zealand’s atmosphere and climate, which paints a bleak picture for the country’s biodiversity, glaciers, weather patterns, oceans and economy.

The three-yearly update provides further evidence that greenhouse gas emissions from human activities are putting pressure on the country’s climate.

“We are experiencing variations in rainfall patterns, more frequent medium-term droughts, ocean warming to record levels, and glacial ice retreat,” the report said.

“Sea levels around parts of Aotearoa have risen twice as fast in the past 60 years as they did in the first half of the 20th century. Extreme weather events are increasing in frequency and severity, causing loss and damage to nature and people.”

In February, the country experienced how devastating extreme weather can be, after Cyclone Gabrielle wreaked havoc across parts of the North Island. Despite being considered New Zealand’s worst storm this century – killing 11 people - it has garnered few mentions on the campaign trail.

Oh no - "the worst storm this century!!!" - these idiots never stop using Orwellian language to sell this stupid fraud.

So, isn't it going to be interesting if everything continues trending like this into next year and we all find out Michael Mann is an optimist?

MIchael "Hide the Decline" Mann? Who cares about what that imbecilic clown thinks.

In other climate news - a nun goes ballistic on a Klimate kook and kicks his lunatic butt....

Nun gets down and dirty with climate protester who wants to block pilgrim centre

A Catholic nun has been filmed grabbing a climate activist and throwing him to the ground during a green demonstration in a French town.

Protesters were gathering in the Bourges Valley village of Saint-Pierre-de-Colombier, in the southern Ardèche département, to try and stop plans to build a pilgrim centre.

The dispute saw the environmentalists go head-to-head with the Famille Missionnaire de Notre-Dame (Missionary Family of Our Lady), a community considered by the French authorities to be a possible cult.

Earlier this week, nuns from the missionary group formed a human chain around a digger to prevent the activists from chaining themselves to it.

However, the clash turned physical when one of the nuns sprinted across a muddy field to tackle a protester who appeared to be carrying two plastic pipes.

She was captured grabbing the man’s arm and clinging on, knocking him off balance and bringing them both toppling into the dirt.

Sylvain Hérenguel, co-president of the protest group, told broadcaster France 3: ‘I didn’t expect that.

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/nu ... 4cd6&ei=12

PS - found it funny that these lunatic Klimate losers are acting stupidly, and yet it's the nuns who apparently are "in a cult". Nope. When you are claiming the world is going to end due to some "klimate krisis" then it's you who is in a cult.

Haha…cheers for the Nuns!!

Who’d have thought at least one of them could take a tackle-down right to the mud?

A bomb-shell report showing how climate scientists and journals deliberately ignore the truth in order to get published. "Non-denier" climate scientist Patrick T Brown publicly admits he left out the full truth in his peer reviewed paper on California wildfires in order to get published. The scientists are expected to align with pre-approved narratives by journal editors such as Nature.

Journals are in damage control mode.
