AccuWeather's Bastardi Warns New Federal Climate Service Effort to 'Shut Down' Debate Meteorologist calls new bureaucracy under the Commerce Dept. an 'indirect way' to regulate what people are thinking.

Time after time, the Obama White House has demonstrated a desire to control the message and flow of information, whether it’s issues on health care, the economy, bailouts and the latest – climate science.
With cap-and-trade legislation waiting in the wings that would come at an estimated cost of up to $200 billion, or $1,761 per household, according to the Treasury Department, the federal government recently announced a new service to “help businesses adapt to the impact of climate change.”
But AccuWeather.com’s chief long-range and hurricane forecaster Joe Bastardi, who appeared on the Fox Business Network’s Feb. 9 “Cavuto,” warned there are other implications with the government having an expanded role in climate forecasting. According to Bastardi, it could lead to an effort to shut out other opinions.
“What I’m trying to say is there are a lot of other non-governmental opinions in this debate that have been shut down,” Bastardi said. “So I’m asking myself, well, is it going to be like NOAA? They get to say whatever they want and influence things? And then folks that have other opinions aren’t allowed to say anything about it or are pushed off to the side?”

Bastardi Has it right, new ‘climate change agency’ is merely more AGW propaganda sponsored by the gov’t.
He is the only weatherman besides John Coleman, the founder of the Weather Channel, who is willing to speak out against AGW.
He’s right. He doesn’t believe in this crap either. He said we have to give it 20 to 30 years to see. I heard him on Hannity late last week before the weekend storm.
Joe has it nailed....
he needs to be re-dubbed
Joe Legitimi.
Add to that the big increase in NOAA and NASA budgets for “climate research”.
Is there ANY possibility they will EVER find data contradicting man-made global warming?
NO!
These whores are not paid to discover non-problems!
Especially after the manned space programs have been cancelled!
And note this paragraph about half-way down the article:
Bastardi said. “Part of the reason we got this winter forecast right — and again I’ll show you this winter forecast – is I knew that with the Pacific cooling, we are getting back toward those times in the ’60s and ’70s. That’s where winters are going to go. When the Pacific cools, the Atlantic cools, guess what happens? You cool those big bodies of water, you are going to cool the atmosphere around it. The models aren’t capable of handling this.
The models weren’t designed to show anything but AGW.
Shut them down. Looks like God’s hand at work...cuz they’ve delayed their announcment due to the blizzard.
Here’s is what Jim Ott a former ch 4 Milwaukee weather man is doing.

Ha! Excellent.
"I'm from the government and I'm here to help!"
Geez, don't these guys realize that they're the punchline to a joke?
Another indication of RAT establishment of thought police.

YOU NAILED IT----but you forgot all the hundreds of high paying jobs "saved or created"

Thanks.
I am a Joe Bastardi fan. He called how destructive Katrina was going to be well in advance, and advised NOLA residents to “run for your lives.” I thought it was over the top at the time I heard it, and he turned out to be dead on.
