Another global warming crank thrown out on his arse
Global sea-level expert John Church made to walk the plank by CSIROFor John Church, a leading authority on sea-level rise caused by global warming, there was much that was fitting – and yet callous – about being sacked at sea.
The veteran scientist was well into one of dozens of research voyages he had taken since joining CSIRO as a post doctoral student in 1979.
His vessel, the RV Investigator, was midway between Antarctica and New Zealand and steaming north on the 170 degree longitude when he received Thursday's call to tell him he was "potentially redundant".
Sitting with a supporter in the ship's conference room, Dr Church was told his services were no longer needed.
"I was OK during the call but it is certainly not a nice feeling to have what you have worked for - for so many years - thrown on the scrapheap," the 64 year-old told Fairfax Media after finishing a 12-hour stint on watch.
Another fake position based on bullsh!t!
So much taxpayer funded gravy train largess yet so little time
