Anthology of the bitch, new muse of Empty Bozo:
Financing fossil fuels
When asked about potential conflicts of interest, it was Curry's response to Scientific American:
“I get funding from the fossil fuel industry. My company… has been doing [short-term] hurricane forecasts… for an oil company, since 2007. During this time, I have been both a strong supporter of the IPCC, and more recently a critic of the IPCC, there is no correlation between this funding and my public statements.

"in terms of climate hoaxes, it may NOT be Donald Trump's pants on fire."
"Trump's election was the occasion for a more rational energy and climate policy."

During a hearing entitled "Data or dogma? Promoting the open inquiry into the debate over the magnitude of human impact on Earth's climate, ”Juth Curry acknowledged that global temperatures are rising, but said the bigger question is whether humans are at blame.
She said temperatures have been on the rise for more than 200 years. "And that's not human," she said, suggesting that something other than industrial greenhouse gases is driving them up.

Regarding the record heat waves in Western Europe, and whether they should be blamed on man-made global warming (emphasis added):
“Does it make more sense to provide air conditioning or to limit CO2 emissions? I am voting for more air conditioning in these sensitive regions.

Appearing in Marc Morano's 2020 film Climate Hustle 2: Rise of the Climate Monarchy (climate-denial shit), produced by the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT *), Curry questioned the premise of climate change education, stating:
"I see no reason to teach children this, other than… unless you try to brainwash them in some way. You know, take them when they're young.
In bulk:
"I am totally indifferent to anything that has to do with DC and the government."
"The real issue at stake is the national climate assessment."
Curry was ranked # 4
(among climate deniers) among
(among others), the deniers noted Marc Morano (# 1), Sen. James Inhofe, Energy Secretary Rick Perry, Freeman Dyson, Ross McKitrick, Steven Hayward, John Hinderaker and Roy Spencer
“Man-made climate change is a theory whose basic mechanism is well understood, but the potential magnitude is very uncertain. […] Solutions can have surprising unintended consequences that generate new vulnerabilities. In short, the cure could be worse than the disease.
"Man-made climate change is not an existential threat on a 21st century scale, even in its most alarming incarnation. It is wrong to assume that current wind and solar technologies are adequate for power and the cutting edge economy. The industry leaders I engage with seem eager for a pragmatic, two-party approach to climate policy. "
“Rather than trying to reduce future sea level rise in the distant future by fractions of an inch, policymakers should keep fossil fuels affordable, abundant and reliable to deal with climate and weather events of all kinds. Adapting to the free market, not a futile crusade to “stabilize” the climate, is the obvious choice for a free and prosperous world. "

She has been characterized as a leader in efforts to prevent the government from tackling climate change. CFACT protested to defend oil exploration14 and in opposition to the Kyoto protocol.
