    Nobody has done more to sink the claim that climate change is endangering polar bears than Susan Crockford - and she may have paid for it with her job.

    After fifteen years as an adjunct assistant professor, Ms. Crockford said the University of Victoria rejected without explanation in may her renewal application, despite her high profile as a speaker and author stemming from her widely cited research on polar bears.

    … her research shows polar bear populations are stable and even thriving, defying claims of the climate change movement.

    Uh oh. You're fired. No reason why, you just are. Now anybody else gonna defy our "scientific consensus" - huh? Stand up, those of you with courage. The rest of you gutless cowards, get back to your stations and repeat our Talking Points. Dismissed.

    Sounds like another right-wing kook, actually

    Never heard of the woman, but apparently she's never published any peer-reviewed articles about polar bears.

    ZERO street cred

    Good to see that she got THE BOOT... :thumbsup:

    OF COURSE. Anyone who doesn't comport with YOUR Leftist Talking Points has to go.
    "Diversity" in YourSpeak only refers to skin color. She was no doubt a liberal, but she tried to pursue science and was ousted for it. You applaud such calumny.

    Uh, low level academics lose renewals all of the time. And if she really wasn't publishing peer reviewed work, that explains a lot. "Publish or perish" is a thing.
