Kim CobbOne scientist was called Climate Barbie. Another was described as an “ugly fake scientist.” A third had an erect penis drawn on her car window while she was in the field researching sea-level rise. Such is the life of many female climate scientists in 2018.… Kim Cobb, a professor of earth and atmospheric science at Georgia Tech, recently appeared on national news programs to talk about the dangers of climate change. Now she’s being called a liar over email. Someone on Twitter called her “Climate Barbie 2.0.” There were repeated hang-ups on her voicemail, something she finds particularly disturbing because she’s worried the caller might be unstable....Cobb said this is the reality for female scientists.
