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.

Hmmm. Did she come out of the closet as a denier? Did she tell him to shut up and quit whining about the temperature?

Guy in charge of the media lab is supposed to be a “climate change expert”.

How does that work?

Probably drugs and alcohol involved. She’ll put a court order on him, but there might be some charges.

Apparently a contributor to the “cause” can attain the level of “ex-spurt” if they really believe.

It's a shame. Some of these global warming alarmists are so upset that they have been proven wrong that they are now hurting other people due to their anger and frustration.

These people should actually be happy that we are going to be okay after all and that the whole global warming scare was a false alarm. But instead, they are filled with hate and anger. They just can't man up and admit that they were wrong.

Now they are hurting other people and that's not right.

Will the media continue to respect him?

Feminisists have said that the progressive communist agenda is more important than one dead or raped woman.

Man who wants to control climate finds it difficult to control potential spouse.

“Aaron has received millions of dollars in grants”

And let me guess: He is an ardent supporter of the hoax that man alone is responsible for “climate change”. Funny how I never hear the guys who don’t believe in the hoax, who have tons more credentials than this guy like Professor Richard Lindzen, never getting “millions of dollars in grants”.

Liberalism is a mental disorder. Evidenced yet again.
Liberals do the women power thing only to get laid.
