Andy May discusses the firing of Dr. Marty Rowland for publishing a paper co-authored with Marcel Crok that argued carbon dioxide and current climate conditions are not problematic. The paper, despite being highly cited and based on peer-reviewed literature, faced political backlash and criticism, notably from figures like Michael Mann, leading to Roland’s dismissal. May criticizes the politically driven nature of climate science, highlights the importance of documenting diverse views, and warns against the suppression of scientific debate.
