Judith Curry wrote on her blog Climate Etc. that her views on climate change are best summarized by her Congressional Testimony on the President's Climate Action Plan: [6], [7]
“Recent data and research supports the importance of natural climate variability and calls into question the conclusion that humans are the dominant cause of recent climate change:
The hiatus in global warming since 1998
Reduced estimates of the sensitivity of climate to carbon dioxide
Climate models predict much more warming than has been observed in the early 21st century”

Judith Hollie testified alongside Derrick Hollie of Reaching America as a minority witness at the House Committee on Natural Resources' hearing on “Climate Change: Impacts and the Need to Act.” [62], [63]
...
During her testimony, Curry declared: [64]
“Manmade climate change is a theory whose basic mechanism is well understood, but the potential magnitude is highly uncertain. […] Solutions may have surprising unintended consequences that generate new vulnerabilities. In short, the cure could be worse than the disease.”
She added: [64]
“Manmade climate change is not an existential threat on the timescale of the 21st century, even in its most alarming incarnation.” ( https://www.desmogblog.com/judith-curry)

Writing at Climate Etc., Curry claims that sea level rise is natural and that human activity hasn't had a significant impact: [57]
“Sea level has been overall rising since the last ice age, with some ups and downs. Sea level has been rising for the past 200 years […] Humans are not going to stop sea level rise on the time scale of a few centuries by ceasing emissions of CO2,” Curry wrote.

Judith Curry was a witness in a house committee hearing titled “Climate Science: Assumptions, Policy Implications, and the Scientific Method” chaired by Lamar Smith. 
...
 “There is enormous pressure for climate scientists to conform to the so-called consensus,” Curry said in her testimony. “Owing to these pressures, and the gutter tactics of the academic debate on climate change, I recently resigned my tenured faculty position at Georgia Tech.”  [53] ( https://www.desmogblog.com/judith-curry)

December 8, 2015
At a hearing titled “Data or Dogma? Promoting Open Inquiry in the Debate over the Magnitude of Human Impact on Earth’s Climate,” Juth Curry acknowledged that global temperatures are rising, but says the bigger question is whether humans to blame. [8]
She said temperatures have been on the rise for more than 200 years. “And that's not human,” she said, suggesting that something other than industrial greenhouse gases is causing them to climb. [8]

Curry, in her blog Climate Etc, publishes a post titled, “In defense of free speech.” Within it, she writes: [12]
“I am broadly concerned about the slow death of free speech, but particularly in universities and also with regards to the climate change debate.” [12] ( https://www.desmogblog.com/judith-curry)

October 28, 2012
“The manufactured consensus of the IPCC has had the unintended consequences of distorting the science, elevating the voices of scientists that dispute the consensus, and motivating actions by the consensus scientists and their supporters that have diminished the public’s trust in the IPCC.” [14]
