WEATHER CHANNEL CLIMATE EXPERT CALLS FOR DECERTIFYING GLOBAL WARMING SKEPTICS

As if the renewed call for the Fairness Doctrine wasn't bad enough, we now have a Weather Channel climatologist calling for man-made global warming skeptics be stripped of their scientific certification if they continue to express such skepticism:
The Weather Channel’s (TWC) 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.

"If a meteorologist can't speak to the fundamental science of climate change, then maybe the AMS shouldn't give them a Seal of Approval. Clearly, the AMS doesn't agree that global warming can be blamed on cyclical weather patterns," Cullen wrote in her December 21 weblog on the Weather Channel Website.
How about we just send them to the gallows and save some time? Hmm?

*******10/18/07 - Update - JR:
The fluffy-brained "expert" making those statements just believes all she is told by the "authorities", of course. She shows no sign of critical thinking or evaluation of the evidence at all. In Galileo's day she would be trying to shut up Galileo for saying that the earth revolves around the sun. If she were a Muslim she would probably be strapping on a suicide belt.

Most amusingly, the fluffybrain says how ignorant it would be to say hurricanes rotate clockwise. But she is the ignorant one. In the Southern hemisphere, they DO rotate that way! Some "expert"!
Indeed.

ACCORDING TO THE SOPHISTICATED POST MODERN LEFT:

if you believe in God then you are dumb
if you believe that jihadism is a global threat you are dumb
if you believe the commander in chief should run wars and not congress then you are dumb
if you believe that global warming is natural and has happened many times before then you are dumb
if you believe that life begins at conception then you are dumb
if you believe that because we imposed democracy on germany and japan and panama and elsewhere we can do so in iraq, then you are dumb
if you believe that people should be judged based on their individual character and not their gender or skin color or ethnicity then you are a racist

if you believe that the iraq war is bad then you are a courageous dissenter, but if you believe that man-made global warming is bunk then you are dum and need to be SHUT UP BY THE STATE!

James Spann had this to say in his op-ed:
"I do not know of a single TV meteorologist who buys into the man-made global warming hype. I know there must be a few out there, but I can’t find them."

I linked to the rest of his piece in my post today.
