American University adjunct professor and veteran self-described "progressive activist" Caleb Rossiter is the latest victim, thanks to an article he wrote for the Wall Street Journal opinion pages questioning global warming.
Rossiter's sin was describing global warming as an "unproved science" and advocating that developing African nations be allowed to adopt the same "all-of-the-above" energy policies as the U.S. follows.
Rossiter's reward was to be terminated as an associate fellow by the Institute for Policy Studies. Despite his 23-year relationship with IPS, Rossiter was fired via email.
