Judith Curry is an independent thinker, a fact that should be readily apparent after the Mann vs. Steyn trial and her wonderful book “Climate Uncertainty and Risk.” She has chosen the road taken by far too few in science, the road to independent thought and humility, especially when it comes to climate science. Recently, she participated in a panel discussion regarding appropriate K-12 science education standards. You can view the discussion here:
In a review of "Climate Change for Kids [over 9] and Adults Too", https://alchristie.substack.com/p/climate-change-for-kidsand-parents I wrote "In a calm look at weather and climate, which are not the same, weather being short term effects and climate being a long range pattern for an area, this book explains that it isn’t as simple as just temperature and precipitation - there are many other factors - so many, that the whole subject is very complicated. For example, cloud patterns, wind, ocean currents, and solar activity all should be taken into consideration."
This book should be read by all high school kids and their parents. It will indeed teach them to think, and Judith Curry would love it.
The best route to a propaganda-proof mind is job training. When you actually work with electronics or weather instruments or chemicals or paper and ink, you know how the world works and how to manipulate and measure it.. No amount of book learning, whether it's "clean" or propaganda-poisoned, can fill the muscles and senses with How Things Really Work.
Kudos to Judith Curry.

Good point. Too bad most politicians have never worked in a real job.
Judith is a towering figure of climate science. Her grit and intellectual endurance are there for all to see. She has led a heroic life.
Could you send it to me or try posting again, Nick?
I am unaware it was unposted, Nick. I did not unpost it. I will check.
