Aaron Doering Hennepin County Jail
A well-known climate change expert and professor at the University of Minnesota choked and brutally assaulted his fiancée, who told cops she fears he will kill her, according to a criminal complaint.
Aaron Herbert Doering, a 47-year-old tenured professor and the director of the Minneapolis university’s Learning Technologies Media Lab, was charged Thursday with two felony counts of domestic assault by strangulation in Hennepin County District Court, the Star Tribune reports.
Doering — who also serves as a fellow for the Royal Canadian Geographic Society and regularly appears on media outlets to discuss climate change, sustainability and related topics — had to be separated from his fiancée by responding officers when they got to the couple’s apartment in Minneapolis, according to a criminal complaint obtained by the newspaper.
The woman, who had bruises on her neck and red marks on her forehead, told police Doering had dragged her through the apartment by her hair before beating her and choking her to the point that she thought she would lose consciousness, the complaint shows.
“Victim believes [Doering] will kill her if he returns to the apartment,” according to the court document.
The woman claimed that the alleged assault was not the first time she had been victimized by Doering. She also provided police with photographs to back up those claims.
Doering, who remains jailed in Hennepin County on $40,000 bond, is set to make his initial court appearance Friday afternoon, county records show.
Doering’s status at the university remained unchanged as of late Thursday, a spokeswoman told the Star Tribune.
“We’re aware of the situation and will be reviewing the matter,” director of public relations Lacey Nygard said.

Maybe she told him she was a climate change denier. Men who beat,assault, rape or injure or kill women should be jailed and society should throw away the key to the isolated cell that we banish them to.
Climate alarmists have a pattern for such behaviour. Al Gore sexually allegedly assaulted a massage therapist in a hotel room and Dr Pachauri was also caught trying to adjust a model without her permission. In Australia a Greens MP was also recently forced to resign over repeated sexual harrassment alogations.
If you look at the people who engage in left wing politics in general, you can see a pattern of intolerance and violence, ranging from violent street protests to public calls to imprison or even kill those who don’t subscibe to their political positions. The violent protests following Trump’s election win demonstarted their disdain for democracy when the majority view doesn’t align to their own ideology. In Australia, the left wing protest group was in a fury following the election of a conservative leader back in 2012 and walked around for weeks holding up an effigy of his bloodied head in a noose, wearing T shirts saying F…Abbott. A situation that would never occur in reverse if a left-wing leader was elected.
Basically, left-wing people are savagely intollerant and quickly prone to violence when they don’t get their own way. They also hide under a false pretense of moral cause and virtue signalling to fool the general public while they carry on pushing their destructive ideology unabated.
What is it with all these lefties?
Are they so hard-up that the only way they can get laid is to force themselves upon women?
Or do they get a power-rush from engaging in abusive behavior?
Seems to be a problem, particularly with the political left. Maybe it’s the lack of a moral center.
Read below about “Slick Willie” Clinton in the USA and Jack “Mehoff” Layton in Canada:

“MILLWEE: He [Bill Clinton] came in [to the editing room] behind me, started hunching me to the point that he had an orgasm. He’s touching, trying to touch my breasts and I’m just sitting there very stiffly, just waiting for him to leave me alone. And I’m asking him the whole time, ‘Please do not do this. Do not touch me. Do not hunch me. I do not want this.’ And he finished doing what he was doing and walked out.”

Bill reminds me of my friend’s dachshund. When I was a kid I used to visit my genius friend Peter, and he would always admonish me to put my shoes in the closet and close the door. Seems his dog had a shoe fetish, and would make wild passionate love to your footwear if you left them in sight. Gives whole new meaning to the term “wiener dog”. If I ever encounter a dog like this again. I’m going to call him “Clinton”. 🙂

Even notice how the press gives lefties a free pass when they (all too frequently) reveal themselves as sexual predators? Canadian NDP Socialist leader Jack “Mehoff” Layton was caught by the Toronto police in a raid of notorious massage parlour, famous for their “happy endings”, and was given a free pass by the police AND the press.
______________________________________
A close friend recently told me about his former girlfriend, a beautiful young woman who was asked by the local NDP Party brass to accompany the NDP national leader while he was in her city. This was an earlier Canadian NDP leader, previous to Mehoff. She was flattered at first, but was shocked when he became a drunken groper and aggressor in the evening. It is probable that the local brass knew of his character flaws and tried to accommodate him – but they picked the wrong girl.

‘alogations’ = Al Gore rhythms?
Interesting assertion. It sounds like a subject for a major psychological study. Good for a ph.d or even a nobel if it works out. Plenty of data already on the prosecution records.
arationofreason
His relationship is not sustainable.
The mention of his having “…received millions of dollars in grants” clearly shows on what side of the issue he stands.
Just imagine how many useful things could have been accomplished if you add up the sum total of grant money awarded over the decades to him and the legions of colleagues ravenously feasting at the IPCC led $$$ banquet.
Yeah and he’s a school teachers school teacher .
Yawn……
— well — don’t let him near children!
“A well-known climate change expert ”
In the Twin Cities, perhaps.
Makes me wonder about the reputation of the University of Minnesota if its “climate” expert
has never been previously identified outside of the building he teaches in.
“the reputation of the University of Minnesota if its “climate” expert”
It is the NY Post that identifies him as a climate expert, not U Min, nor anyone else I can see. His Wiki page is here. His chair is in Education and Technology. He doesn’t seem to be any kind of climate scientist.
It says most about this site and the bottom of the barrel it seeks to scrape.
Wrong. It has given him the green light to talk about climate change under the mantel of his expertise as an educator. More than likely he has brought coinage to the university via grants obtained from AGW focused granting bodies.
“More than likely he has brought coinage to the university via grants obtained from AGW focused granting bodies.”
More than likely? There is no evidence of that at all.

That took less than 5 minutes.
What’s that red mark on his forehead?
I was going to say that it is a comb injury, but then I realized he doesn’t use combs.
A “Zebibah”?
The photo reminds me of Charles Manson for some reason.
Such was my thought. There is no such thing as a climate change expert. Maybe some people might claim to study the subject, but manifestly no experts and probably never will be, unless one takes the view that climate change is merely weather.
Come on folks.
Whatever happened to the principle of “innocent until proven guilty”?
This appears to have absolutely nothing to do with climate change, and hence has no place on this site.
The NY Post has simply put the words “climate change” in as click-bait.
Joshua Rhett Miller’s editor or Mr. Miller likely beefed up the story with the words “climate change” in the content and title to get it republished on other sites DANG!! I detest yellow journalism, I really do. Definition: yel·low jour·nal·ism noun; journalism that is based upon sensationalism and crude exaggeration. Mr.Miller should be disenfranchised from republication on this site, IMO.
Among Doering’s publications is the forthcoming: “What Color Panties Are You Wearing? Conversations between 9th Grade Social Studies Students and a Female Pedagogical Agent”
Somehow that doesn’t make me think of him as the globalist apologist for sustainability through international travel and conversations with inhabitants of extreme environments, related to earth’s changing climate that his various websites advertise him to be. Maybe he’s going a new direction from being an eco-change agent?
Give the guy a break. He’s just trying to reduce her ‘carbon footprint’….
Probably the rising levels of atm CO2 affected his mind. “What else could it be ? “(tm)
that was one of my thoughts too…
the other was she dared express doubt on agw
Surely it was HER CO2 that he had to stop from being exhaled, to stop the rising. Give the man a break.
The professor is a wannabe “climate expert” (which of course is a ridiculous summary by media and this original ‘post’ author Mr. Miller) who claims, on the University website, to bea “fellow for both the UMN Institute on the Environment and the Royal Canadian Geographical Society. University bio summary page:Quote ” Aaron is a pioneer in adventure learning, geospatial learning, and learner-driven technology integration strategies. He is recognized internationally as a Tech Awards laureate, which honors innovators who are applying technology to benefit humanity. Aaron also holds the UMN Bonnie Westby Huebner Endowed Chair in Education and Technology, and is a fellow for both the UMN Institute on the Environment and the Royal Canadian Geographical Society. He can often be found on the road collaborating with diverse cultures in remote regions of the globe, or traveling by pulk or dogsled through extreme Arctic wilderness” lol..a real Eco-Renaissance Man engaging with winter snow and geospatialities! He does not impress me with his extreme “man against nature” story or his once upon a time UMN Institute on the Environment “fellowship” but it might impress young students..I should not even go there about certain types of professors and their NON-academic interest in naive, impressionable young students..just saying I was young and in college once upon a time..professors can be quite too full of themselves around young students..nuff said.
The quote source link dropped from my comment, sorry.: http://lt.umn.edu/about.html
His defence, he tried to strangle girlfriend because of Trump/AGW/Brexit? (delete unapplicable).
I think it is good that he teaches from a distance. It’s better for everyone. And it would have saved him $40,000.
Let’s hope he doesn’t have the forty grand and has to stay in the klink until his trial.
Too often a ‘climate change expert’ is one who assumes catastrophic, manmade climate change will happen, then predicts how it will affect things. That seems to me to also describe the bulk of climate change research.
By that definition, perhaps I will become the world’s foremost unicorn expert.
It wouldn’t be hard to be a unicorn expert. I understand that position hasn’t been filled yet.
But just think of all the other experts out there.
Big Foot expert.
UFO experts.
Ghost experts.
And a large coterie in the human futures industry. (fortune telling).
And various mystics at large.
A climate change expert nobody has heard about choke his fiancee.
That must mean that climate science is fraud, or what?
I don’t think this article should have been published.

Agreed. His expertise is clearly not climate. He’s a teacher at a university. That’s about the sum total.
What did she do wrong? Breathe out CO2?
please keep stories like this out of WUWT , thanks
Agreed. The guy needs help, not mockery. Some of the comments are beneath what this site stands for — integrity and thoughtfulness.
“Agreed. The guy needs help, not mockery. Some of the comments are beneath what this site stands for — integrity and thoughtfulness.”
Totally agree. This is meant to be a science site. If he beats his wife he should be held accountable, but it has nothing to do with his views on climate change. Do we really want to descend into judging whether a persons views on CC are right or wrong because of how they conduct their private lives. There are people who make poor choices in their live on both sides of this argument, and it is just making everyone dirty listing them in some sort of “see your team are less moral than ours” game.
Relevance troll is irrelevant.
Does this mean the wedding’s off?
I pray for her safety and speedy recovery.
Whatt’s this story doing here?
He is a bad man. Hopefully he will go to jail.
Hopefully she will not fall into the trap of other abused women, and find another like him.
Normally we do not pillory wife abusers on this site.
Was the fact that his job involves the climate at some level or another, and is in disagreement?
Is this gratuitous gloating of a personal failure of an opponent of this site?
This post, and others like it, that are personal attacks have no business on the site.
Please stick to actual climate news, or change the name to
“Watt’s Up With That, Wife Beater?”
It’s posts like this that make “we deniers” look infantile.
I agree. This is barrel bottom scraping. It appeals to the low info skeptic which would be good to see less of here now. I hope WUWT doesn’t slide into the gutter too far. There is a lot of credibility at stake here to just lose it to please the trolling skeptics.
Relevance troll is irrelevant.
Just another of the many delusional, but dangerous, climate change fanatics showing their true colours
If that’s what he does to his fiancée, imagine what he does to his climate data. 😉
