Actually the Earth has been known to not be flat amongst most scientists and the educated since ~3 BC.
But the ignorant peasants didn't believe them for nearly 2000 years. They laughed at the scientists, ridiculing them for proposing something so counter to common sense and what everyone knew to be true. sound familiar?

I believe his dismissal was from the Institute for Policy Studies



So he wasn't actually fired?

What university was this at?

eta: He worked somewhere called the Institute of Policy Studies, which is a liberal think tank.

Is that a university? No wonder that information is not prominently displayed.

Yes.
Sounds like a manufactured fact.
So it is unfortunately familiar.

Sounds similar to assertions of diminishing total antarctic ice mass. Sounds similar to GISS data publication discrepancies 1999 vs 2012.

he was sacked by email. The IPS said: "We would like to inform you that we are terminating your position as an Associate Fellow of the Institute for Policy Studies...Unfortunately, we now feel that your views on key issues, including climate science, climate justice, and many aspects of US policy to Africa, diverge so significantly from ours."

Really? Do you know something or are you just talking out of your arse?


I am just stating that I am sure there is more to this story than a professor simply being fired because he called Global Warming "Unproved Science".

I thought it was pretty clear.

The Earth is spherical.
Your assertion that "peasants" by-and-large believed for 2000 years the Earth was flat, while science established otherwise, is a "manufactured fact".

He was not fired from his professor's job. Try reading the link before you try to appear intelligent.

I didn't manufacture shite. The Catholic Church had a lot of interest in keeping people dumb and they succeeded for well over 1000 years.
