The entire Democrat party has now gone out on the limb with Al Gore's "Inconvenient Truth" that Global Warming is a sure thing. Nancy Pelosi has even formed a Congressional Global Warming COMMITTEE. Anyone who disagrees with this crackpot science is guilty of heresy according to the liberals. Should any weatherman dare to even question that Global Warming is imminent, they should be decertified as weather experts according to Heidi Cullen of the Weather Channel. Of course, the DUmmies completely support the decertification of any weather person who dares challenge the liberal orthodoxy on this subject as you can see in this THREAD titled, "Weather Channel Climate Expert Calls for Decertifying Global Warming Skeptics." So let us now watch the DUmmies call for the expulsion of all who do not buy into their crackpot science in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, never dreaming that his beloved Weather Channel would become an ally of the kook Left, is in the [brackets]:
Weather Channel Climate Expert Calls for Decertifying Global Warming Skeptics
[Expulsion for all those who do not BEEEEELEEEEEVE in the crackpot science of Global Warming.]
Weather Channel Climate Expert Calls for Decertifying Global Warming Skeptics
January 17, 2007
[Who would have believed that the Weather Channel would become a part of the kook Left?]
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. This latest call to silence skeptics follows a year (2006) in which skeptics were compared to "Holocaust Deniers" and Nuremberg-style war crimes trials were advocated by several climate alarmists.
[Scientific questioning will NOT be tolerated!]
The Weather Channel’s (TWC) Heidi Cullen, who hosts the weekly global warming program "The Climate Code," is advocating that the American Meteorological Society (AMS) revoke their "Seal of Approval" for any television weatherman who expresses skepticism that human activity is creating a climate catastrophe.
[Was Heidi Culllen one of the jurors at the Galileo trial?]
"If a meteorologist can't speak to the fundamental science of climate change, then maybe the AMS shouldn't give them a Seal of Approval. Clearly, the AMS doesn't agree that global warming can be blamed on cyclical weather patterns," Cullen wrote in her December 21 weblog on the Weather Channel Website.
[So what was the cause of Global Warming before there were even humans on this planet?]
"It's like allowing a meteorologist to go on-air and say that hurricanes rotate clockwise and tsunamis are caused by the weather. It's not a political statement...it's just an incorrect statement," Cullen added.
[Accept my crackpot theory or you will lose your job!]
To me, it's clearly a good thing that the scientific community is starting to step up and call out the few remaining flat-earthers.
[The same "scientific community" that used to warn us about Global Cooling.]
I certainly hope so. I really hope this shuts these ignorant right-wing motherf*ckers up for good. Anyone who denies global warming should not only be stripped of their certification, but should also not be allowed to teach.
[And be forced to spend time in a re-education camp.]
cast out the non-believers then, we'll stone them in the village square.
[Cast out the non-believers for their heresy!]
For a meteorologist to deny global warming is like an M.D. denying that germs exist.
[Or a DUmmie to deny that reality exists which they do on a daily basis.]
If you think that suppression of alternate arguments advances science, then let me tell you a little story about Galileo.... Any argument that relies on suppression and name-calling seems to me to not be able to punch on its own. Prolly seems that way to a lot of other people. Let the process work. No one argues about the sun rising tomorrow, because the evidence is manifest. Soon it will be so with climate change, too.
[And this DUmmie WINS a Kewpie Doll for having a brief moment of mental clarity.]
Not believing in global warming strikes me a bit like saying one doesn't believe in witches (aka Wiccans). They exist. Get used to it.
[Witches exist and so does Global Warming. Get used to it.]
Yeah, it's the future existence of the goddamned planet we're talking about. If certain scientists refuse to understand, by willful ignorance, the data then they should be discredited. Go back to school get some learnin' just like their dumbass leaderboy, bush.
[Should they go back to school at Pepperdine College in snowbound Malibu?]
These cretins need to have their credentials pulled as well. They can continue to say whatever they like.
[I say have a credential removal ceremony in the heart of snowbound Malibu.]
But to stifle science is wrong. Let science debate and we stay out of it.
[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]
Have you seen "Inconvenient Truth"?
[Produced by that highly skilled scientist, Al Gore.]
Where the hell have you been? The debate is over.
[And now we can completely close our minds to any inconvenient truths.]
I might even go one step further, and start reviewing broadcast licenses. After a few were yanked, I suspect that upper management and senior editors might actually start to police themselves and take serial liars like John Srossel off our public airwaves.
[Let the purges begin! Any questioning of liberal "science" orthodoxy shall result in BANISHMENT!]
Stripped of their scientific certification if they express skepticism? What next, burning books that have an alternate theory? Sorry, this is scary and dangerous, IMO. I remember the great "Global Freeze" theories of the 1970's. What if this had been done then?
[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]
The scientific community has not reached consensus about the cause. You're blending the near-consensus on warming, with the decidedly fractured range of opinions on what's responsible for the warming. Less than a thousand years ago, the Danes had established farming communities on Greenland (ever wonder why they called it Greenland, btw?), because a centuries-long warming period had freed the Southern Greenland landmass of ice and given it a climate similar to Scotland's. Three hundred years later, those farms were buried under hundreds of meters of ice, while Europe shivered through a Little Ice Age that regularly froze the Thames solid. Human-contributed greenhouse gases were obviously not the cause of either of those shifts. I staunchly believe climate change is underway right now. Let's allow good scientific debate to sort out the causes (political thinking, like religious thinking, is about dogma, not open inquiry). Politically, we'd be wise to assume that human activity is a major factor, and work to limit greenhouse emissions. That is, and should be, a progressive objective. Meanwhile, let science work through the evidence. Anyone who thinks there is a simple answer is unfamiliar with nonlinear causality in general, and the workings of climate in particular.
[Since you are making entirely too much sense, you may expect your imminent tombstoning.]
When we start casting out "heretics" it is no longer about science it is a religion.
[It is about POLITICS.]
Amazing to me that in 2007 we are still having to fend off people who would base SCIENCE on an ancient goat herder's religion.
[Abraham came along in the middle of a Global Warming. Or was it a Global Cooling?]
Let me know if you want on the DUmmie FUnnies PING List.
PING!
So who won the Bill Bennett song parody contest?
As I commented on another thread,
You want to completely restructure the world economy to counter Global Warming.
Doesn't your precious "Precautionary Principle" require that you be absolutely certain before anyone does anything.
Top 5???
Thanks for the ping!
top 10
Top 15?
Furthermore,
Global Warming is something your computer models say is going to happen, say 100 years from now.
Except for one faked study, it isn't even measurable in the present.
Yet everytime there is a bad hurricane, or heat wave, or dry spell, you and your buddies jump up and down shouting "Global Warming".
If you are so sure of your theory, why do you have to lie so much.
"It's like allowing a meteorologist to go on-air and say that hurricanes rotate clockwise and tsunamis are caused by the weather. It's not a political statement...it's just an incorrect statement," Cullen added.
Uh... Heidi - THEY DO rotate clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. (snicker)
(as to tsunamis; everyone 'knows' those are caused by Poseidon, on orders from Zeus.)
Woo Hoo! Top 20!!
Once again, the DUmbasses display that the fascist they fear the most is really the one staring back at them in the mirror.
"The weather's here, wish I were beautiful..."
Is global warming REALLY a bad thing. I remember seeing the show about the "Little Ice Age" spanning the 14th through 19th centuries. It was a time of mass epidemics, famine and misery.
Of course, I can see why the libs would be pining for the 'good old days.'
A DU'er that makes sense will soon be tombstoned...(banned)
