Climate and Weather

If granted emeritus status, as she has applied for, Dr. Curry will typically get to keep her laboratory space. She will, however, be freed from the teaching and service obligations of active ladder rank faculty. She is therefore free to devote herself to her research as much as she wants unfettered by the mundane tethers of academic life. The retirement part basically allows, assuming GA Tech gets hiring approval and has the start up funds, her department to undertake a new hire. And yes, she could likely chair the search committee if she wanted. "Baseball has been very very good to me".

Hopefully the money supply will shrink to the AGW alarmist community during this administration.

As long as there are clicks I'm sure advertisers will keep placing their dollars on the web. But I assume you mean US research funding. My guess is that to the extent he can maintain a focus on anything, Trump will do his worst. But the reality is that the cutting edge of climate research has been gradually shifting to continental Europe and Asia for about a decade. One can see this, for example, in the author affiliations of the papers that get linked here. So Trump may exacerbate an ongoing trend within the US, but the overall pace of the research in this field may not change substantially.

So, I have retired from Georgia Tech, and I have no intention of seeking another academic or administrative position in a university or government agency. However, I most certainly am not retiring from professional life

The deeper reasons have to do with my growing disenchantment with universities, the academic field of climate science and scientists.
What does this mean, Magoo?

She has a PhD in an appropriate field, she is a tenured professor, she is a former department head, and she wants to move to emeritus status. That's a full house of academia cards.

OK, sounds like she is pissed and wants away from the left wing kooks in academia, not the moderate conservatives like you and me.

Scientific American did a profile on her. When asked about outside funding, she replied "I do receive some funding from the fossil fuel industry. My company...does 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."
