In Texas, the State is removing climate change courses from the core curriculum. They have decided that climate change is just too dangerous to teach the students. This is indoctrination. I wrote an oped about it in the SA Express-News. Gift link: www.expressnews.com/opinion/comm...

Texas can’t hide from climate change by stopping students from learning about it

Texas has removed climate change courses from core curriculum at public universities. Ignoring climate change will not serve the state.

Some day I want to write a paper about how we turned higher ed into one big subsidy for business — all the while students are shamed for not paying more of this subsidy, and for not paying it faster. Instead of training their own workers, students and taxpayers must pay - and assume the risk

Schools are not a business and a student is not a customer and this is the framing that encapsulates everything wrong with higher education. The “solution” of running universities like businesses rather than a public good was always the problem.

Bob and I were among the hundreds of researchers that were supposed to conduct the 6th U.S. National Climate Assessment. Now it looks like they're gonna produce it with a few people and Grok? Communities need rigorous and accurate information about climate change. This will put communities at risk.

Maue did not respond to requests for comment from E&E News. But he wrote on X that he was enlisting artificial intelligence to help with the latest National Climate Assessment. He cited the Gemini 3 Pro program as well as Grok, an Al chatbot developed by xAl, the artificial intelligence company led by tech tycoon Elon Musk. https://www.eenews.net/articles/its-the-gold-standard-of-us-climate-research-contrarians-could-write-the-next-one/

Before the 1990s, plane crashes caused by microbursts used to kill planeloads of people fairly regularly. Dr. Ted Fujita and NCAR scientists figured out how to detect microbursts and warn pilots about them. Since then? Zero airliner crashes from microbursts.

Air and road travel are safer, hurricanes, thunderstorms, and wildfires are better predicted, students, early career scientists, and teachers are trained, and the public learns more about STEM because of NCAR. We’ve spent decades preaching STEM and we’re destroying it all in less than a year.

NCAR is a unique & valuable asset - far more than a climate model, or observations, or technology, or training ground, or gathering space. It covers weather, space weather, data, climate, paleo-climate, and everything in-between. It's building is an icon, but it's iconic status goes far beyond that.

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.
