West Point’s only climate scientist fired after continuing to teach human causes of climate change

Adam Kalkstein compared administration’s order to ‘trying to teach the law’ without mentioning ‘the constitution’

The only climate scientist teaching at West Point, the US army’s military academy, was fired after he resisted an order to stop teaching about the human causes of the climate emergency, a lawsuit claims.

Dr Adam Kalkstein, a civilian professor of geography at the New York institution, was terminated after the spring semester this year, six months after a testy meeting with Brig Gen Shane Reeves, then dean of West Point’s academic board, the court filing said.
