http://reason.com/blog/2017/01/04/georgia-tech-climatologist-judith-curry 

This article is from a new (to me) source of information that I find more credible than most.
After reading this article I jumped to her blog and was almost overwhelmed.

Judith Curry, an actual climatologist, has resigned from her post at Georgia Tech for no reason other than she finds it no longer possible to guide and teach students to use actual science in the field of climatology. She recognizes and has witnessed first hand how scientific integrity is career suicide when dealing with this highly political subject matter.

She does not deny climate change, man-made or otherwise. She will join the private sector (i.e. not reliant on government funding and "guidance") and will continue in the field.

But never mind that. It's settled science, so we shouldn't discuss such matters. Right?

So she doesn't disagree with it... but believes scientific integrity is at risk.

... I'm not sure I understand the point.

A person quit their job, we don't really know why, but we take her reason at face value and any government funded research is bunk

Of course you don't.
There hasn't been a consensus to tell you what to believe yet.

Try to keep up.

Actually, that's the exact OPPOSITE.
But we'll roll with it.
