Expert Wants to Decertify Global Warming Skeptics

Penguinisto writes "Apparently in the Senate, at least one scientist wants to put a permanent stop to any arguments over Global Warming. The Weather Channel's most prominent climatologist is advocating that broadcast meteorologists be stripped of their scientific certification if they express skepticism about predictions of manmade catastrophic global warming."

.... advocating that broadcast meteorologists be stripped of their scientific certification....

That's funny. I always thought that predicting the weather around here was about as scientific as predicting the lotto numbers.

It's silly

Why the need of stripping titles. Simply put them on a melting iceberg :)

Methane, for one. Every time you eat chili, you're harming the planet.

But the press should give unbiased representation to both sides, so that people can draw their own conclusions - it's their job. Can you imagine the flak if a reporter did a science story then said "While the conclusion is obvious to over 99% of the population, some crackpots still disagree. We searched hard to find one such moron with a dissenting view and here he is. Sir, are you on crack or just plain stupid?"
