I hope these people aren't members of the American Meteorological Society, otherwise Heidi Cullen will be gunning for their accreditation.

It's probably not a majority view, but a few climate scientists are beginning to question whether some dire predictions push the science too far.

Dire predictions don't push science, facts do. That is the problem with these climate modelers, they are dealing with assumptions unproven by current facts.

Science has no business "selling" anything. They're supposed to be following the scientific method.

But, but, the Weather Channel said we're DOOOMMMEEEEDD!

If we watch them more often, does that mean they will save us?

A prominent scientist angrily accused him of being a skeptic

Um, I thought scientists were supposed to be skeptics.

>"widespread public concern on the issue of global warming"

When people say stuff
like this, someone should ask them,
Is YouTube showing

clip after clip of
people panicking about
global warming fears?

If YouTube isn't
showing clips about something,
it isn't "widespread."

A lot of scientists are scurrying to protect their reputations because of junk science and highly unsubstantiated theory.

Why is it that the Little Ice Age coincided with a period where there were no sunspots?
