Quote:Global Warming University in Shock Ban on Academic Freedom and Debate

Extremist pro-green Swedish university shackles academic freedom and bans all teaching that doesn’t conform to dogma of human-caused global warming.

The latest victim targeted by global warming fascists is Swedish professor, Dr. Claes Johnson who is smacked down for speaking the truth by his employers, the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm.

Ban Linked to Sensational Revelations in Johnson’s New Book

It’s no coincidence that Johnson, a world-leading mathematics professor has been silenced in the very week his co-authored climate skeptic book, ‘Slaying the Sky Dragon: Death of the Greenhouse Gas Theory’ stormed has stormed the science best seller listings after rave reviews.

Johnson is among 22 leading international experts who have dared to join forces and speak out in a blockbuster of a book that exposes the fraudulent science and calculations built into the theory of man-made global warming. The two-volume publication skillfully shreds the lies of government climatologists that faked the warming effect of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by falsely multiplying the numbers three times over.

Cynics are claiming the teaching ban is a knee-jerk panic reaction to these startling revelations that Johnson had dared to explain in depth to his inquisitive students.


Academic Censorship Gone Mad

The math professor reports that this latest gagging is most extreme because it includes required material for his students and may be fatally damaging to their studies.

The highly-experienced and respected professor has been banned by his bosses from teaching any “part of course material in the course Numerical Methods II.” The material is also found in his ebook, ‘BodyandSoul.’

Dr. Johnson laments, “the course, has been "stopped" by the President of the Royal Technological Institute KTH, because the book contains a mathematical analysis of some models related to climate simulation.”

It appears the blanket ban was precipitated after a small clique of pro-green student activists protested to the university that Johnson was daring to address both sides of the global warming debate. The story is also reported by DN.SE, a popular Scandinavian publication who added, “the school took away pages of the book.”

The ban is likely to be seized upon as yet further proof of undemocratic and politicized corruption of academia; adding strength to claims that global warming propagandists have systematically hijacked educational standards.

More details on this disturbing new development on the professor’s blog, ‘Claes Johnson on Mathematics and Science.’

The picture on Claes Johnson's blog says it all.

Is history really repeating itself? It seems that certain sections of the community have learnt nothing from the past.

I´m shocked. I have just seen it in CO2 Insanity and was going to post it here. I´m afraid he is not the last of the authors being attacked :-(

" the blanket ban was precipitated after a small clique of pro-green student activists protested to the university that Johnson was daring to address both sides of the global warming debate. "

Is this a "first", what were the grounds for the protest, were they mathematical, showing some basic errors...

Errr, is the above correct, really could such a thing actually happen. ?
I know it has, but surely it should not of happened,
do small student protest groups really have such powers. ?

Who took the actual decision, on what basis
(surely not because a small group of students [were they actually students??] "protested"),
this all seems rather strange (and a bit too fast). ?

How much EU funding does the Institute receive, was it "threatened". ?

I tend to agree with Derek in that it is all a bit too fast. It may well have been in progress prior to the book. That said, it is interesting to note he is the second author to encounter an adverse situation within about two weeks of the publication. However, in both instances the ball was likely in motion some time beforehand and therefore it can only be coincidence.

On another board I sometimes frequent a routine discussion is when can we jail the deniers.

In Oliver K. Manuels case.He was charged back in 2006.Convicted in 2008.

Yeah since we can not go along with the political propaganda,they want to push us aside.

Behavior like that make it clear it is not a question of science,but one of political power.

Be interesting to interview pro-green student activists here in Scotland today as the supermarkets run out of food due to the country being unprepared for this type of global warming.

Bad publicity is still publicity.

What's the betting they are English students at Uni in Scotland?

I'd hate to be on the receiving end of a Scotsman's wharf particularly if he was wearing a kilt.
