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."

    "Prove they understand" seems to mean "always agree with the AMA's position (or be thrown out)."

    Dr Cullen said nothing of the sort.

    A Scientist who makes up his facts as he goes isn't worth his salt

    Dr Cullen is a woman.

    One who disagrees with the prevailing conclusions may be the next great in his field.

    No doubt, and Dr Cullen merely asks that people first be knowledgeable of the science. Hardly an unreasonable request.

    It's pretty clear you haven't read what Dr Cullen wrote. Take a minute to read it before commenting further; it's less than 500 words.

    very time anyone even hints that they have been silenced, it makes the front page of every newspaper.

    Getting in the newspaper doesn't feed your children.

    A scientist who can't practice his or her craft will be homeless and starving in short order.
