Why, because Greg doesn't know what academic tenure is, and I do?
No need for extensive research...Wiki has the simple answer:
Academic tenure protects teachers and researchers when they dissent from
prevailing opinion, openly disagree with authorities of any sort, or
spend time on unfashionable topics.
Thus, if you are a tenured academic, you are not endangering your tenure
by coming out against the prevailing thoughts on global warming.
Next?
That is a great fairy tale and it might protect incompetent or child
molesting teachers but if you are endangering federal grants or going
against the grain of the administration, you will be gone one way or
another.
They might not fire you but you will not be working on much.
And you know this from your extensive personal experience at the
university level, eh?
You only need to look at the political uniformity in the university
system to draw that conclusion.
Oh. For a moment there, I thought you were basing your opinion on
something tangible.
