2023-01-11 at 6:40 PM UTCI’m a Scientist Who Spoke Up About Climate Change. My Employer Fired Me.
This paragraph in particular:To do my job, I dissociated the data I was working with from the terrifying future it represented. But in the field, smelling the dense rot of New England hemlock trees that were being eaten by a pest that now survives the warming winters, I felt loss and dread. Only my peers read my articles, which didn’t seem to have any tangible effects. Though I saw firsthand the oncoming catastrophe of climate change, I felt powerless to help.
I did, however, believe that if scientists told the truth about the climate emergency, our scientific institutions would get out the message to policymakers, government officials, the media and the public. But they didn’t — at least not sufficiently — even as carbon emissions continued to rise and the climate continued to warm.
Highlights how the current scientific paradigm acts to quietly muzzle the dire nature of our situation. It forces those with the most knowledge of the crisis to only address it via academic routes, lest they lose funding and the ability to continue future research, ensuring only a close circle fully understands the scope unless a particularly sensational paper is picked up by the media. -

You see the problem with that sentence...right? -

Here's a clue
"I saw firsthand "
…something that hasn't happened yet.
Now…see the problem?
What do you mean it hasn't happened yet? Have you looked outside recently? Do you read the news?
Oh right, you're too busy inserting that over-inflated head somewhere the sun doesn't shine. -

"Yes, I would like to apply for a government grant for my research project."
"Does your research disprove the government's political agenda/narratives?"
"Uhhh... yes, I guess it could..."
"Sorry. We can't help you. CLICK"
"Public Grants Department..."
"Yes, I would like to apply for a government grant for my research project."
"Does your research disprove the government's political agenda/narratives?
"No, not at all. In fact, it supports it 110%"
"You will receive a check in the mail within 10 days for 5 million dollars, and thank you for doing business with us."
^ That's the way the world actually works now, people. Wake up. Smell the coffee. Stop drinking the Kool-Aid. All you have to do is follow the money and the rest is easy. -

The rest of his sentence "the oncoming catastrophe of climate change"
oncoming means it hasn't happened yet…
LeRn Enrish…
You do realize from the context of the article, he was speaking about his past. Don't you?
Maybe it's time you pulled your head out of your ass, seems the lack of oxygen is doing some damage. -

everyday and everywhere i turned my head to the climate change alarmists are blaring their alarms
what are you talking about.
the UN even let a non-scientific teenage girl with prepubescent breasts (emmmm) go on stage and lecture the world how dare you.
how dare you claim the world is supressing climate change scientists. theyre everywhere, every time, just like genderchange activists. -

“Disservice is too mild a word” to describe the effect of this muzzling, says Steven Campana, a shark scientist who spent 32 years working for Canada’s Department of Fisheries and Oceans. “It’s a cheat for the taxpaying public because it’s the taxpaying public that is funding this government research. When that research leads to very positive things, or even if it's negative, the people that paid for it deserve to hear about it.”

"catastrophe of climate change" isnt the same thing as "catastrophic climate change". -
