in World News “Overwhelming Consensus” on Climate Change Crisis is “Manufactured,” Says Climate Scientist
While the scientific community widely accepts that the Earth’s climate is changing and humans are playing a significant role, Judith A. Curry, a prominent American climatologist and former chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology, questions the prevailing narrative.
In a recent interview with New York Post‘s John Stossel, Curry presents her perspective that the “overwhelming consensus” is largely “manufactured.”
“It’s a manufactured consensus,” Curry told Stossel. She points to a system where scientists gain more recognition, and subsequently, more funding by promoting catastrophic scenarios.
This ‘alarmism,’ she asserted, plays a pivotal role in shaping their careers.
“There’s an incentive to exaggerate risk to pursue ‘fame and fortune,’” she added.

Curry is no stranger to media attention. When she published a study indicating a sharp rise in Category 4 and 5 hurricane intensity, the media spotlight shone brightly on her.
“We found that the percent of Category 4 and 5 hurricanes had doubled,” she said.
