ET pourrtant si tu lise son WIki qui est cité dans le vidéo. Elle est en conflit d'intérêt pour recevoir des sous de groupes associés a l'industrie pétrolière..

Controversy
Crockford is a signatory of the International Conference on Climate Change's 2008 Manhattan Declaration,[12] which states that "Carbon dioxide and other 'greenhouse gas' emissions from human activity...appear to have only a very small impact on global climate," and "Global cooling has presented serious problems for human society and the environment throughout history while global warming has generally been highly beneficial."[13] Between at least 2011 and 2013, she received payment from The Heartland Institute, in the form of $750 per month, which Crockford states was to provide summaries of published papers that might not have been covered by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's Fifth Assessment Report.[4] This payment has been construed as an undisclosed conflict of interest, by blogs such as Desmog Blog.[3] Her response to such claims was a disclosure of the job description, how much she was paid, and the duration of the contract.[4]

Although some polar bear scientists disagree with Crockford's claims, her blog has been widely cited by websites that either deny or are skeptical of climate change, with over 80% citing it as their primary source of information on polar bears.[14] Critics point out that none of Crockford's claims regarding the effects of climate change on polar bears has undergone peer review, nor has she ever published any peer-reviewed articles whose main focus is polar bears.[3][14]

After 15 years as an adjunct professor, University of Victoria did not renew her contract in May 2019, possibly for her climate change views.[15]
