If I Were A Meteorologist…

…I’d be fired.

Just look at the outright BULLYING behind this junk science:

“(The Weather Channel’s Heidi) Cullen’s call for decertification of TV weatherman who do not agree with her global warming assessment follows a year (2006) in which the media, Hollywood and environmentalists tried their hardest to demonize scientific skeptics of manmade global warming. Scott Pelley, CBS News 60 Minutes correspondent, compared skeptics of global warming to "Holocaust deniers" and former Vice President turned foreign lobbyist Al Gore has repeatedly referred to skeptics as "global warming deniers."

And…

"Cullen’s call for suppressing scientific dissent comes at a time when many skeptical scientists affiliated with Universities have essentially been silenced over fears of loss of tenure and the withdrawal of research grant money."

OUTRAGEOUS. And she calls herself a woman of science? I wonder if she’s considered what her call for decertification might do:

"Cullen’s call for decertification by the AMS can only serve to intimidate skeptics and further chill free speech in the scientific community. Stripping the "Seal of Approval" from broadcast meteorologists could affect their livelihoods, impact their salaries and prestige."

Really, it’s unbelievable – essentially willing to ruin other people’s lives for her pet cause.

So many links on this piece worth looking at – be sure to check it out.

Here’s her blog if you want to voice your opinion…be respectful, of course.
