The Weather Channel's most prominent climatologist is advocating that broadcast meteorologists be stripped of their scientific certification if they express skepticism about predictions of manmade catastrophic global warming."

    But the press should give unbiased representation to both sides, so that people can draw their own conclusions - it's their job. Can you imagine the flak if a reporter did a science story then said "While the conclusion is obvious to over 99% of the population, some crackpots still disagree. We searched hard to find one such moron with a dissenting view and here he is. Sir, are you on crack or just plain stupid?"
