SALT LAKE CITY — Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill has requested the FBI’s assistance in the investigation into the arrest of a Utah nurse who refused to allow a blood draw from an unconscious patient without following proper procedure. In a statement released Thursday, Gill said his office officially requested the FBI investigate: “any and all individuals involved in the chain of conduct arising from the incident at the University of Utah Hospital on July 26, 2017 for any Civil Rights Violations under the color of authority.” Gill said he requested the FBI’s help due to events beyond...

The Colorado scientist described by the Washington Post as "the World's Most Famous Hurricane Expert" says the "ClimateGate" e-mails from the United Kingdom that revealed possible data manipulation are evidence of a conspiracy among "warmists," those who believe man's actions are triggering possibly catastrophic climate change. "The recent 'ClimateGate' revelations coming out of the UK University of East Anglia are but the tip of a giant iceberg of a well organized international climate warming conspiracy that has been gathering momentum for the last 25 years," said Colorado State University's Dr. William Gray. His are the annual hurricane forecasts that are...

Prominent hurricane forecaster Dr. William M. Gray, a professor at Colorado State University, appeared at The Heartland Institute's 2009 International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC) in New York on March 11 to elaborate on his theory that a natural cycle of ocean water temperatures related to the salinity (the amount of salt) in ocean water was responsible for some global warming that has taken place. Gray also distributed a document containing a scathing critique of Dr. James Hansen, the head of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, who is widely known for his outspokenness on the issue of manmade global...

Central Florida's most famous Harris Rosen has threatened to sue hurricane forecaster Dr. William Gray claiming Gray's wrong hurricane forecast may have cost Florida billions in tourist money. Rosen says a survey of former guests indicated 70% of those who didn't plan to return cited hurricane fears as the reason. John Smith, who runs Storm Stoppers, a plywood alternative company that has benefited from busy storm seasons, spends thousand of dollars when an active year is predicted. "What we do is stock up," Smith said. "When there is a let down, we have all of our capital invested in materials...

Meteorologist: Gore climate theory 'ridiculous' By Steve Lyttle · The Charlotte Observer Updated 10/13/07 - 12:32 AM | Comment on this story CHARLOTTE -- One of the world's foremost meteorologists on Friday called the theory that helped Al Gore win a share of the Nobel prize "ridiculous" and the product of "people who don't understand how the atmosphere works." Dr. William Gray, a pioneer in the science of seasonal hurricane forecasts, spoke to a packed lecture hall at UNC Charlotte and said humans are not responsible for the warming of the earth. His visit, arranged through the meteorology program at...

One of the world's leading meteorologists has described the theory that helped Al Gore win a share of the Nobel prize "ridiculous". Dr William Gray, a pioneer in the science of seasonal hurricane forecasts, spoke to a packed lecture hall at UNC Charlotte and said humans are not responsible for the warming of the earth. "We're brainwashing our children," said Gray, 78, a longtime professor at Colorado State University. "They're going to the Gore movie (An Inconvenient Truth) and being fed all this. It's ridiculous." Gray, whose annual forecasts of the number of tropical storms and hurricanes are widely publicised,...

I hate to get into the global warming issue again, but we are now being inundated with newspaper articles and television talking-heads screaming about ‘having to do “something” about man-made global warming’, inspired by the questionable film, “An Inconvenient Truth”, by Al Gore. We were saved from efforts to destroy our economy when socialists, posing as independent scientists, were defeated in 1997 by a 97 to 0 Senate vote against the now-failed Kyoto Treaty (when Al Gore was Vice President). I feel we are being setup for another attack on our way of life in the same way atheists and...

WASHINGTON – It should be glorious to be William Gray, professor emeritus. He's the guy who predicts the number of hurricanes for the coming tropical storm season. He works on a country road leading into the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, in the atmospheric science department of Colorado State University. He's mentored dozens of scientists. He's a towering figure in his profession and in person. He's loud. His laugh is gale force. He can be very charming. He's also angry. He's outraged. He recently had a shouting match with one of his former students. It went on for 45...

MIAMI - The dissipation of the El Nino warm water phenomenon in the Pacific will contribute to an above-average Atlantic hurricane season with eight hurricanes, a noted storm forecaster said Friday. Colorado State University expert William Gray said the season, which begins officially on Sunday, will produce a total of 14 tropical storms, of which three will be major hurricanes with winds of 111 mph or more. The prediction would double the number of hurricanes compared with last year, a season that produced 12 ``named'' storms but just four hurricanes and two major hurricanes. Gray's forecast paralleled that of the...

<p>It's time for Democrats who oppose George W. Bush's push for war with Iraq to shut up.</p> <p>Congressional Democrats, in particular, should muzzle their criticism of the president. Instead of publicly questioning his reasons for wanting to invade Iraq, they should voice strong support for the men and women Bush will send into battle — and give the president no reason to blame them for the bad things that almost certainly will result from his handling of this situation.</p>
