Is this about money and grants:
The Weather Channels most prominent climatologist Heidi Cullen is advocating that broadcast meteorologists be stripped of their scientific certification if they express skepticism about predictions of manmade catastrophic global warming. Scott Pelley, CBS News 60 Minutes correspondent, compared skeptics of global warming to Holocaust deniers and former Vice President turned foreign lobbyist Al Gore has repeatedly referred to skeptics as global warming deniers. James Spann, an operational meteorology since 1978, takes on 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. Mr. Spann elaborates that their job is to look at a large volume of raw data and come up with a public weather forecast for the next seven days and he doesnt know of a single TV meteorologist who buys into the man-made global warming hype.
I saw the Weather Channel garbage in the last month or so. They and Discovery have become the junk-science channel. Too bad, they used to be respectable.
Mr. ALGORE, A question just for you, We have exprienced periods of Global Warming before. How did it go away? We even had this GW before there was a Congress. Wha t happened?
Control the flow of information control the sheeple.
Forever.
Third time is the charm.
Going for a hat trick?
Owl Gore who? Isn't he the nutcase who claimed he invented the Internet?
Could someone please post this again?

And the Weather Channel forecasts are notoriously inaccurate too.
Ed, Ed, Ed.....
get rid of your dialup or develop more patience.....once is enough.
Yep, I think they just copy the National Weather Service wild guess and run with it.
Isn't he the nutcase who claimed he invented the Internet?
yep same one, you can tell where he is giving his Global Warming speech by watching the Weather Channel - it would be where it is snowing.
Not according to Jacqueline Susann.
I still enjoy both Dirty Jobs and MythBusters on the Discovery Channel. At least, it's not all junk science...yet.
Why do I keep remembering the fairy tale about "
The Emperor's New Clothes"?????
The more yammering about this topic, the more I close my ears.
The sun and the volcanoes on earth that erupt are the major causes of climate changes. Also, climate changes go in cycles. Sometimes LOOOOOONG cycles.
Al Gore is more of a loose cannon every day. Don't think I will tune in the Academy Awards this year. Probably the first time in over 40 years.
Her first TV gig and she's already sold out her reputation. I hope the money's good. If she didn't do it, so other little hottie would.
