On The Hijacking of the American Meteorological Society (AMS)

(an open letter)
by Bill Gray
Professor Emeritus
Colorado State University
(AMS Fellow, Charney Award recipient, and over 50-year member)

I am appalled at the selection of James Hansen as this year’s recipient of the AMS’s highest award – the Rossby Research Medal. James Hansen has not been trained as a meteorologist. His formal education has been in astronomy. His long records of faulty global climate predictions and alarmist public pronouncements have become increasingly hollow and at odds with reality. Hansen has exploited the general public’s lack of knowledge of how the globe’s climate system functions for his own benefit. His global warming predictions, going back to 1988 are not being verified. Why have we allowed him go on for all these years with his faulty and alarmist prognostications? And why would the AMS give him its highest award? ...

Bill Gray is no small peanuts in the meteorological world.

He’s right. No meteorologist I know buys into the whole global warming thing anyway.

It’s enough to make a meteorologist hang his (or her) head in shame....

blush

Why would that be? You are the one's fighting this BS.

If you really want to have fun with the warming wackos, say you are willing to go along with them if they are serious and that we can cut 10 percent (I think) of the world's CO2 emissions just by replacing US coal, natural gas and oil fired electric plants with non-CO2 emitting sources, namely nuclear and hydro-dams.

Heck, ask them that if AGW is such a problem why are they trying to rip down hydo-plants?

And ask them why they support tolling freeways to create CO2 producing traffic snarls?

And ask them why they oppose incentives for telecommuting such as exempting home offices from OSHA requirements.

Notice he tell the Marxist Obama that we have 4 years to change the CO2 emissions, the same years of Obama’s term of office. You won’t recognize this country in 4 years. We will be a 3rd world toilet of a country. Global warming is being used as a political tool to introduce government control over big business and tax the hell out of us some more.
