Expert Wants to Decertify Global Warming Skeptics

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."

Re:All Theories

And the points you had taken from you and the troll label you were branded with show the hateful, liberal, anti-science bias of the moderators here. They hate it when people expose the global warming fraud. Yes temperatures has risen at many airports around the world due to heat pollution but the measurements at higher altitudes, on the ocean, and in rural areas show a decrease. That is why scientists have talked about global warming for over 30 years, but the politicians keep pushing their warming agenda despite the facts.

Dr Cullen simply wished that meteorologists who spoke with authority about climate change - be it for or against - should be required to first prove they understand the science of climate change.

"Prove they understand" seems to mean "always agree with the AMA's position (or be thrown out)." In this light the article, while shrill, seems to draw the correct conclusion.

Dr. Cullen seems to confuse "fact" and "conclusion". A Scientist who makes up his facts as he goes isn't worth his salt. One who disagrees with the prevailing conclusions may be the next great in his field. If disagreeing means censure then the field is dead.

Of course, if she's cute, she's already got the degree qualifications necessary for broadcast meterology.

No, seriously.

No, seriously.
