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.
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.
"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. [Note: It is also worth taking a look at the comments section at the bottom of Cullen’s blog, very entertaining.] See: http://climate.weather.com/blog/9_11396.html This latest call to silence skeptics of manmade global warming has been the subject of discussion at the annual American Meteorological Society’s Annual conference in San Antonio Texas this week. See: http://www.ametsoc.org/meet/annual
"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. [Note to Cullen: As the resident ‘climate expert’ at TWS, you should know that Hurricanes in the Southern Hemisphere do rotate clockwise. Also, Cullen and the media have ignored the growing climate skepticism by prominent scientists see: http://epw.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=PressRoom.PressReleases&Co

Media is as media does.
Let's remember the Federal Office of the Environment and Public Works has released this statement:
NUREMBERG-STYLE TRIALS PROPOSED FOR GLOBAL WARMING SKEPTICS

Wow. I'll bet he's ticked he can't just have them shot.
I have blocked the weather channel since it has gone political. You cnnot depend on their forecasts.
I suggest we all open or fridge doors at the same time to combat global warming.
Millions of years of climate change thrown out because of unproven scientific evidence.
This is true, but Stalin did it on such a grand scale...of course millions of dead (murdered) to him was merely a statistic.
No one expects the Spanish Inquisition
Well why not? Like excommunicating Galileo.
Unbelievable!!!
BBBut my frozen baby harp seal sausage might defrost...
Isn't the Weather Channel a Ted Turner network offshoot ? Just wondering !!!
LOL, and the left think the right believe in McCarthyism.
I liked the weather channel when it was just a weather channel.
Who is she trying to kid??? She works for the weather channel for crying out loud...they are the same jackasses that said it was going to warm up today in Dallas and I woke up to 2 inches of snow and my kids doing cart wheels because school had be canceled.
I don't know...They certainly are acting like it.
These are definately Stalinist tactics. The weather channel has definately gone down hill.
Now it has become a political/junk-science JOKE.
