Professor and Chair of Climate Science: Humans not cause of CO2 levels (money, religion)

I hope this guy secured tenure and some grants for the forseeable future. The establishment isn't going to like his findings.

"Tenure?" I hope he's wearing a bullet proof vest!

Marginalizing is much less messy than just killing him. Fire him, never grant him tenure, reject all his publications in the peer-review process, cut off all grant money. He'll eventually get the message and find AGW religion again.

That's how it works.

Sound advice I offer any new libertarian or conservative graduate student hoping to enter into a faculty position: pretend to be apolitical to your colleagues. If they press, pretend to be a liberal. Once you get tenure or have racked up enough long-term research goals, you may "come out of the closet" and begin telling those people your true political affiliation.
