Neil Frank, local Houston weather man says it is not human caused global warming....

Dr. Neil Frank
The nation’s foremost authority on hurricanes and tropical storms, Dr. Neil Frank serves as chief meteorologist for KHOU-TV, and anchors weathercasts weekdays at 5, 6 and 10pm. Dr. Frank joined KHOU-TV in June 1987. Prior to beginning his television career, Dr. Frank was director of the National Hurricane Center in Florida for 13 years, where he was the key figure in directing severe tropical weather information to meteorologists and media across the country.

His career began in the United States Air Force where he trained as a weather officer. After the USAF, he returned to Florida State University for graduate study. In 1961, Dr. Frank joined the staff of the National Hurricane Center as a forecaster and was named director in 1974. During his tenure, Dr. Frank had several international meteorological assignments, including serving as chairman of the International Hurricane Committee that coordinated the hurricane warning procedures for Central and North American countries. He was also a member of an international tropical meteorological experiment conducted off the coast of Africa in 1974.

Dr. Frank has served on the boards of numerous professional associations. He was elected to a three-year term on the council of the American Meteorological Society, the Professional Society for Meteorologists in 1989. Early in 1987, Dr. Frank’s testimony and expertise were called upon when he testified before the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee. He has published a variety of papers on tropical meteorology for professional publications and has been featured in such national magazines as Time, Newsweek and National Geographic. Frank was awarded first place in the 1989 Texas Press Awards competition for Best Weathercast.

A native of Kansas, Dr. Frank has a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Southwestern College in Kansas and a master’s and doctoral degree in meteorology from Florida State University. He is married and has three grown children.

Filed in San Fran for their idiot judges, no doubt.

This will end up in the US Supreme Court.

We are seeing accelerated erosion because of the loss of sea ice,"

Right, higher water levels due to melting sea ice. Which is why your glass of ice water ALWAYS overflows when the ice inside the glass melts.

Wonder who the Martian Eskimos will sue since their polar ice caps are melting and there is no industry there? Perhaps they can join in with the Earth Eskimos and sue the Sun since it is getting warmer.

Wonder how much Kerry’s Tides Foundation paid to “The Chief” to file this suit. There are rumors galore in Indian country that eco-fascists are bribing tribal councils to jump over to their side.

Nope,nope,nope...

We’ll have none of that logic nonsense thrown into the hypothetical agw arguments in court. Where would we be if everyone used logic when debating the tragedy we are bringing on ourselves.

What’s that? Coolest period in how many years?

Ummm.... nevermind.

Erosion on a barrier reef?!! Those monsters!

A reef in the Arctic? Surely not Coral more likely mud flats. Wouldn't everyone producing CO2 be defendant?

DING DING DING!

If only the general populace had paid attention in science class, they'd understand this.

A point of fact often lost on our Eco-friends who fail to distinguish between the cyclic melting of floating ice packs on as opposed to that covering land masses.

"Just read POLITICALLY INCORRECT GUIDE TO GLOBAL WARMING last weekend. It breaks it down into easy to read language for me, someone who is not scientific. I recommend this book and there are many others on same subject. Plus read everything by James Inhofe and William Gray."

You've convinced me to dust off my copy of Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming as my next book to read.

Imhofe was great last spring grilling Algore when the latter was doing his Capital Hill tour-de-force before the Senate and House committees.

Also looking forward to Dr. Spencer's book, Climate Confusion: How Global Warming Leads to Bad Science, Pandering politicians and Misguided Policies that Hurt the Poor due out March 27, 2008.
