From Breitbart:
Confirmed. Maggie L. Fox is on the out at Gore’s CRP. Here is the “resignation” letter sent to the mailing list. Name of recipient redacted.
===========================================================
Dear XXXXXX,
As a member of the Climate Reality family, I wanted to share with you some recent personal news.
I was honored to join The Alliance for Climate Protection’s efforts to fight for comprehensive climate legislation five years ago. And thrilled to then lead the organization through an important transformation to The Climate Reality Project. Faced with the realization that the well-funded and pervasive climate denial industry was winning the broader cultural battle, The Climate Reality Project took up the mantle to dispel doubt and spread the immediate reality of climate change with innovative organizing and communication initiatives designed to transform the cultural conversation. This spring, after an exceptional tenure at the helm of this burgeoning organization, I will be stepping down as President and CEO.
Over the past three years, we have operated with a start-up mentality as climate entrepreneurs, calling out deniers, while also connecting the dots for individuals seeking to understand the reality of climate change and its impact on their everyday lives. We have developed global online events including the annual 24 Hours of Reality, released cutting-edge digital tools such as Reality Drop and What I Love and formed new and effective partnerships with communities affected by climate change – from winter sports lovers to mothers to young people with the critical help of tech enthusiasts and the marketing and advertising industry. We have also invested in growing and empowering a powerful group of 6000 global leaders in over 100 countries acting as change agents and members of The Climate Reality Leadership Corps.
This has been one of the most energizing and exciting portions of my career. I am inspired every day by the talent, diligence and passion our staff brings to this important work. And, I also feel it is the right time in the organization’s growth for me to help Chairman Gore and the Board find a new leader to take the cultural conversation to the next level.
I’d like to thank Chairman Gore for his incredible, visionary leadership on climate change and the Climate Reality staff and Board as well as our supporters for all that they do every day to make a difference. I am looking forward to carrying all I have learned from this fascinating journey onto creating a sustainable world that keeps faith with our children, grandchildren and all future generations.
It has been an honor and a pleasure to work alongside you. In March, I will be in Johannesburg to train another class of Climate Reality Leaders to join the Climate Reality family. I look forward to following their great work and continuing to see the impact that all of you will have towards destroying denial worldwide and finding solutions to the climate crisis.
All the best in the New Year,
Maggie L. Fox
President and CEO, The Climate Reality Project

Unfortunately, every one of them acquired the Gore Effect when shaking the hand of Beloved Leader; leading to the current expansion in sea ice and lethal cold in USA and Asia.

“In March, I will be in Johannesburg to train another class of Climate Reality Leaders to join the Climate Reality family for re-indoctrination.
There, corrected!”
South Africans should stock up on winter coats. This will be bad.
“… well-funded and pervasive climate denial industry…”.
Climate unreality project. Hello, planet Earth calling…
No, No, No, DirkH, you missed the point, she’s going to Johannesburg for HER re-indoctrination!
I’m sure the Chairman will be incognito!
For 20-plus things that would be happening (but aren’t) if climate contrarians were actually well-organized and well-funded,, see my WUWT guest-thread, “Notes from Skull Island” at http://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/12/16/notes-from-skull-island-why-skeptics-arent-well-funded-and-well-organized/
its a terrible, poorly designed and confusing web site isn’t it?

The ‘northern’ states had a similar issue with the ‘southern’ states in a conflict running from 1861 to 1865 over here … the southerners were finally persuaded to re-enter ‘the union’ after a protracted series of armed conflicts, including naval battles.
There was no ‘League of Nations’ to mediate (/mild sarc) such disputes back then …
Chairman Gore – and his little red book!!
That sounds very sinister.
Especially when you realise that they are hiding in the shadows. No-one has ever seen them.
Hmm, maybe they are just completely ineffectual.
al-Gore should get involved in physical movement instead. He’s gaining weight …
…”the impact that all of you will have towards destroying denial worldwide”
Maggie, what’s next? Camps?

She should have quit two and a half years ago while she was ahead, well maybe slightly ahead.
Another one bites the dust…

RT says:
A Russian-built ship stranded in the Antarctic ice has started moving away from the ice fields after a change of wind cleared its path. A Chinese icebreaker, which was caught herself on the way to rescue the vessel, has already reached clear waters.

Well fancy that.

To quote our host and weather expert on 31 December last year:
“In a couple of minutes John Coleman was back on the phone to me, he wanted my assessment of the maps. I had looked at what was happening and saw what I thought might be an opening in 7-8 days based on the forecast graphics from WeatherBell, where the winds would shift to offshore in the area where Akademik Shokalskiy was stuck.”

“Chairman Gore made me immediately think of Chairman Mao.”
Beat me to it. I was going to ask Maggie, “why don’t you just call him Comrade Gore?”
What they deliberately ignore is that for 2 decades they have had unambigous support from media. Not only unambigous but enthusiastic and uncritical support, yet they have lost the battle because temperatures did not rise.
In fact, I believe that it has been reported that the world loses more heat to space than the models allowed in their estimations.
The models failed, Climategate exposed and the Hockey Stick was shown to be Mke’s clever trick, added to the plateauing of temperature.
Because they cannot admit they are wrong in case they have to hand back their grants, they have invented the sceptical funding story. LOL.
After shrilly claiming sceptics were lunatics, should not be heard and future genocidal maniacs, they bridle at being termed warmists.
Being in denial is a legimate term, so when the cap fits, warmists should wear it.
Another true believer fades away into the sunset … since he’s doing as well with climate change as he was in Divinity School, perhaps Al Gore is the one who should be resigning.
Chairman Gore … and his little green book?
Thank you for saving our climate.
You can keep the change.
I think she is saying that their “well-funded and pervasive climate denial industry” is losing the broader cultural battle.
She mentions partnering with winter sports outfits. Specific example – Warren Miller entertainment , who does a popular annual ski film. That annual film USED TO BE a family tradition. Now that it is a political platform for Al Gore et al, we no longer go as I want to be entertained not preached to by an idiot. Warren Miller take note as most of my skiing friends feel the same way. Sever your ties with CRP & get us back as patrons
‘ I look forward to following their great work and continuing to see the impact that all of you will have towards destroying denial worldwide and finding solutions to the climate crisis.’
I think ‘rabid’ and ‘brainwashed’ might be the adjectives to best describe this person’s attitude.
How can anyone believe that we have a climate crisis? Global temperature data are easily accessed by anyone, as are CO2 levels and other pertinent data. Still, that would require a certain amount of critical thinking and involve some effort wouldn’t it? Better to trust ‘the science’, it’s so much easier.
“Winning the broader cultural battle”
NO. We are winning the scientific battle. They are losing because they are in denial of the data
This is the language of the True Believer, not the language of science. These people are ideologues, spear carriers in a messianic movement, or cult. Their mission is “destroying denial worldwide. It is worrisome that they have not only the approval but the financial backing of academia and government because, given enough power, you know how they will start “destroying denial worldwide.”
Fortunately, they are up against the noble traditions of independent scientific inquiry, the Jeffersonian principle of individual liberty, and the Madisonian structure of the US Federal Constitution that works to prevent ideologues and factions from riding roughshod over the rest of us.

“Faced with the realization that the well-funded and pervasive climate denial industry was winning the broader cultural battle….”
Leaving aside the “well funded” aspect, the lady has at least managed to connect with reality on one occasion in her resignation letter.
