Expert Wants to Decertify Global Warming Skeptics

Posted by samzenpus on from the believe-it-or-else dept.

Penguinisto writes "Apparently in the Senate, at least one scientist wants to put a permanent stop to any arguments over Global Warming. 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."

    "You sir are a fucking nutjob!" is what I would say to that man if I ever met him.

    People need to believe fictional things are real just as much as we need to believe the truth. While we may not like people pointing it out things only advance through ignorant, debate and insightful driven by these debates. With these debates we currently discuss if global warming is real, what's making it happen and how we fix it. If we get rid of the nay-says we end up with "It's real guys, humans did it, we must stop doing EVERYTHING because we're not sure what the hell is going on".

    It may take a genius to invent the wheel, but it takes an idiot with a square wheelbarrow to inspire him.
