Donna Laframboise brings shameful news from the University of Victoria:
Like geologist Bob Carter before her, Susan Crockford has been stripped of her Adjunct Professor status by a university with which she has a long history. Why? Because she promotes facts and eschews climate activism.
In May, Canada’s University of Victoria (UVic) advised Crockford that an internal committee had voted to end her 15-year stint as an Adjunct Professor. Having undergone hip surgery in the interim, only now is she going public.
When the matter was last considered, the committee voted unanimously in her favour. What changed? Talks she was invited to give to schools apparently “generated concern among parents regarding balance.” That concern was “shared with various levels of the university,” according to an April 2017 e-mail from Ann Stahl, then chair of the Anthropology Department.
These vague accusations, leveled by an unknown number of unknown individuals who may or may not have been garden variety climate activists, were first used to expel Crockford from the UVic Speakers Bureau. They then became the impetus to expel her from the UVic academic community altogether.
I’ve written about this scandalous development in today’s Financial Post, the business section of Canada’s daily newspaper, the National Post: click here.
On the subject of balanced presentations, please see my recent commentary, U of Victoria’s Speakers Bureau. Many of the talks it promotes are one-sided, activist, and controversial. Someone with no science background has, for years, been giving lectures about ocean chemistry. Yet the eminently qualified Crockford was purged.
While UVic has deprived its students of her expertise, this weekend Crockford begins a European speaking tour. Audiences in Oslo, London, Paris, Amsterdam, and Munich will have the opportunity to hear her firsthand.

Increasingly we discover that this has nothing at all to do with “science”. It is no more than a religion, and one that won’t tolerate dissent.
Shame on the University of Victoria.

I think that the term climate change (which started from the specialization of physical science according to isolated areas, then moved to the humanities, and anthropological, according to populated areas) is due to the book of Revelation and the emergence of a dragon that raises – its presence – from the heat of the earth and affect the skin of the population , And difficult to deal with or get rid of it, to the point of arousing many scientists do not prefer to go into this talk – academically – even some heads of major countries, acknowledged that this may turn the frozen polar ice into water directly affect the tide movement, Which will change the features of the topography of coastal cities. So why not say that it is the book of Revelation (dragon with high temperature)? .. so that non-academic readers care.
