College Prof Retires and Admits Global Warming is a Lie
A college professor has just retired and admits that “I’m now retired, so I have no scientific career to protect by spreading lies.” His latest study shows that a massive rise in CO2 would actually increase agricultural production.
He also states that if what the global warming activists are saying is true we will not destroy the earth, but will have an economic boom.
Retired climate professor admits global warming will not destroy Earth
A retired professor and glacier expert has publicly declared global warming a good thing. He also refuses to go along with many of his scientific peers who he says have urged him to be in lockstep with former Vice President Al Gore – “the drum major in the parade denouncing global warming as an unmitigated disaster.”
Apparently when science professors retire, they finally get to say what’s really on their mind.
“You will never read or hear any of this from the scientific and political establishments,” Dr. Terry Hughes, professor emeritus of earth sciences and climate change at the University of Maine, told The College Fix. “I’m now retired, so I have no scientific career to protect by spreading lies.”
He said he thinks dire global warming predictions are really all about lassoing federal research funding and votes.
“Too many (the majority) of climate research scientists are quite willing to prostitute their science by giving these politicians what they want,” the glaciologist added.
His reasons for why global warming is a good thing, Hughes told the Capital Journal, is that “atmospheric CO2 would greatly increase agricultural production,” “thawing permafrost would increase by one-seventh Earth’s landmass open to extensive human habitation,” and “if the sea level did rise, there would be a global economic boom,” among other arguments.
Hughes told The College Fix he has sent copies of his arguments to his former colleagues at the University of Maine and at NASA. Most of them “probably disagree,” he said, but added that they all receive funding for climate research.

As a former scientist, I applaud his candor. I would have been more impressed if he had admitted it while on the job. It takes guts to go against the tide, but decent scientists do that.
It’s funny how professors with tenure, or those that are retiring, are so quick to expose the CAGW “gravy train.”
There is HUGE money in it and the “scientists” in every major university and at NOAA, NASA, DOE, DOI, and EPA are making a fine living from perpetuating this scam. Their very jobs depend on it. Publish or perish, and it’s easy to publish when billions of dollars are getting thrown at “climate change” research. How can they ever be objective when they are living hand-to-mouth at the CAGW feed trough?
So instead of objectivity we get a constant barrage of “spin” from every agency all the way up to and including Holdren and the White House. At the top it’s all about controlling and TAXING energy. Those who support the process are given favors and those who criticize are punished. The peons like you and me will just have to shut up and pay the taxes.
As an example of the spin, I have a NOAA friend that just posted a facebook post that announced that the average temperature of every year in the 21st century was warmer than the average of the 20th century. However, the truth of the matter is that according to the UAH satellite global temperature record the earth has not warmed in 18 years and 3 months!
We are currently in an interglacial era, meaning a warm period during an ice age. Interglacials last about 15000 years, CYE (“Choose your expert”). The current interglacial began about 15000 years ago, CYE.
I sure wish/hope that anthropomorphic global warming was real as we are going to be in the deep and stinky when the ice age comes back. I figure the plant and animal extinction resulting from six or seven billion humans trying to find something to eat in habitat that will only support a couple of hundred million, at most, provided that the political systems in place were fairly honest (they would not be), would be one of the worst die offs in global history.
