A tenured professor at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point claims he was fired after pushing back on a presidential directive to “defy science” and stop teaching cadets that climate change had “primarily human causes, something contrary to the ideology of the Commander in Chief and forbidden at West Point.”
Last September, Dr. Adam Kalkstein, a professor of geography and the only climate scientist at the United States Military Academy, says higher-ups “expressly forbade” him from talking about anthropogenic climate change, according to a federal lawsuit reviewed by The Independent.
