Weather Forecasts as Political Ads

As if we all haven’t endured enough political ads this election year, an environmental activist group now wants to compel every TV meteorologist to promote its flawed policy agenda. ForecastTheFacts.org, led by Daniel Souweine, chief of staff of Citizen Engagement Lab- oratory, an organizational recipient of George Soros funding, declares, “Our goal is nothing short of changing how the entire profession of meteorology tackles the issue of climate change … and [TV meteorologists] who continue to shirk their professional responsibility will be held accountable ...

In rejecting skeptics, the global warmunists are in fact rejecting science itself.

Seems a little ... Stalinist.

Remember: There is no truth in "Pravda"; there is no news in "Izvestia".

We’re not going to twist your arm anymore, we’re going to break it!

By God man, climate change is real! Here is New York around July the temperature was warm. Now that it is February, the temperature is cold! THE CLIMATE HAS CHANGED!

LOL yeah, now comes the hard part.

Explain to this Michigander why 50 degrees in January is a bad thing.

[who knows what evil?]

...or why NO SNOW on the ground in New Hampshire on February 17th is a bad thing...LOLOL! No noisy snowmobiles...sweet!

The horror of not listening to my furnace run all winter was almost more than I can bear.

The horror of not listening to my furnace run all winter was almost more than I can bear.

Believe me...I understand. Temps in the mid-40's today, and the furnace uncomfortably silent...sure is creepy. :-)

I know, that’s the thing about the Enviro-Nazis argument that global warming will kill - On the contrary it will produce more plants and more life. Maybe these warming nuts should go to the North pole and count how many trees are growing, how much life is running about in sub zero weather, then fly down to Brazil and walk around the Amazon jungle.

Fixation on global warming is a white northern environmentalist obssession. They want snow and glaciers on mountains to help them feel better. But they do not stop and think how much fossil fuels are burned when temperatures plummet. If they are truly concerned about global warming and CO2, they should be happy with warmer winters.

I’m going to get 4 months out of this tank of gas and I have a gas stove and water heater. I checked it this morning and I still have 30% which should get me through till mid March.

This warm winter has been a real lifesaver for me.

Environmentalism today is a amalgamation of romanticism, Nazism, Socialism, Communism. Notice this article posted on the American Thinker last month - http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/01/green_lebensraum_the_nazi_roots_of_sustainable_development.html.

The La Nina this year impacted the far north. Alaska was absolutely brutalized with the worst winter that residents can ever recall. Over the last several weeks, it has finally broke, but then it shifted farther west to Russia and the Europe. It may make a return to Alaska one more time before the winter is out. We will see.

She's forecasting hot, and I believe her - obviously! She could tell me to expect 8-10 degrees of global warming between sunrise and early afternoon, and I would believe. She could predict a 9 degree overnight drop caused by man-made climate change, and I'd accept that. She could even tell me to anticipate 40 degrees of warming over the next six months, and I would never argue with her, because she's beautiful and her predictions would be right too. And if you think AGW is making it hot here, just look at the forecast for Mexico!

"Global Warming" has nothing to do with science, but I'll give the weather announcers high marks for art.

[who knows what evil?]

Ditto...now I have one more summer to win the lottery and head for the South Pacific...

Thank you kindly for keeping us abreast of climate change; even in foreign lands.

I just don't have the stomach for isolationism.

But where can we find a forecaster who rejects all cover ups?
