'''Judith Curry''' is a climatologist at Georgia Tech infamous for flirting with the [[climate denier|denier]] community on the basis that some of them have "good ideas" and can't get their [[crank]] papers published. For instance, she has posted on [[Anthony Watts]]' blog, as well as [[Steve McIntyre]]'s Climate Audit. (She invited McIntyre to talk at Georgia Tech.<ref>[http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/11/27/an-open-letter-from-dr-judith-curry-on-climate-science/ "An Open Letter from Dr. Judith Curry on Climate Science"], [[Anthony Watts|LOLWUWT]]</ref> This makes her a massive enabler.) She has further embarrassed herself (and her university) by using [[PRATT|refuted]] denier [[talking point]]s and defending the [[Wegman Report]], eventually admitting she ''hadn't even read it in the first place''.<ref>[http://scienceblogs.com/illconsidered/2010/11/judith-curry-plants-her-flag/ Judith Curry Plants Her Flag], ScienceBlogs</ref> This and other shenanigans led Tamino of Open Mind to say, "Judith, your credibility is now below [[zero]]."<ref>[http://tamino.wordpress.com/2011/08/06/bag-of-hammers-ii/ "Bag of Hammers II"], Open Mind</ref> Curry has agreed with Trump's description of climate change as a "hoax", writing in 2016 that the UN's definition of manmade climate change "qualifies as a hoax".<ref>https://archive.ph/ikMN6</ref> In short, she's the [[Richard Lindzen]] of [[the South]]. Or maybe the [[Roy Spencer]] of [[Georgia]], take your pick.

==Libel suit==
Following a prolonged, public feud with [[Michael Mann]], Curry got fed up to the point of teaming up with the [[Koch Industries|Koch brothers]], the [[Competitive Enterprise Institute]], and the [[National Review]] against the aforementioned in his famed defamation suit.<ref>[https://archive.fo/TeFqM]</ref> All in order to defeat the [[scientist|ebil warmist gub'mint shill]].

==Some stuff she's been wrong about==
*The article [[The implications for climate sensitivity of AR5 forcing and heat uptake estimates]] was widely panned by other climatologists
*Maybe the [[Heartland Institute]] isn't so bad after all!<ref>[http://judithcurry.com/2012/02/24/why-target-heartland/ "Why target Heartland?"] (Waaah.)</ref>
*The BEST team tried to "[[Climategate|hide the decline]]," because there has been "[[PRATT|no warming since 1998]]." (This was widely quoted in a ''[[Daily Mail]]'' article.)<ref>[http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2011/12/climate-cynicism-at-the-santa-fe-conference/ Climate cynicism at the Santa Fe conference], RealClimate ([http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2217286/Global-warming-stopped-16-years-ago-reveals-Met-Office-report-quietly-released--chart-prove-it.html The article in question])</ref>
*"We should use the satellite data. It's the best we have!" (Who else loves saying that? Oh yeah. [[Ted Cruz|Count Chocula]].)
*(From the same ''Daily Mail'' article) "The models are broken." She later backed down about this on her blog, saying she was misquoted and "[[Bullshit|had no idea where it came from]]."<ref>[http://judithcurry.com/2012/10/14/pause-discussion-thread/ "Pause Discussion Thread"]</ref> 
*Murry Salby is right about CO<sub>2</sub> and every other scientist is wrong.<ref>
