In a brazen display of National Public Radio (NPR) climate intolerance, Kansas City NPR reporter Sam Zeff mocked recent meteorology graduate Chris Martz for challenging climate change narratives, sneering on X that Martz “wasted [his] money on [his] degree.” Martz had merely pointed out the scientific reality that Texas’s tragic flooding along the Guadalupe River was not caused by man-made climate change.
Martz, now a policy analyst and respected voice online, has become a lightning rod for climate radicals who refuse to tolerate dissent—even when it’s backed by data. “Throughout college, university officials were tagged in X comments… pressuring them to kick me out of school,” Martz revealed. Professors were inundated with emails demanding punishment for his refusal to push climate alarmism.
The NPR climate attack is only the latest in a string of personal assaults aimed at silencing Martz. Yet, as he notes, veteran scientists from NOAA and top universities quietly support him. “They cannot bring themselves to threaten their careers by speaking out,” he said.
Martz believes meteorology must remain grounded in facts, not political hysteria. “Someone has to speak up for what’s right—the belief that in America, we have to protect the ability to say what we believe.”
The science is clear, and so is the message: silencing dissent isn’t science—it’s tyranny.
