WEATHER CHANNEL ON THE FRITZ
Everyday, millions of Americans tune in to the Weather Channel,
and many depend on the accuracy of these reports. Indeed,
TWC promotes itself as the "pre-eminent provider of weather
information." Interestingly, the network's premier climatologist,
Heidi Cullen, who broadcasts hour-long "educational" segments,
is determined to kill debate on global warming---at least among
weather broadcasters.
She proposes that all broadcast meteorologists with the gall to
challenge the global-warming cult should lose their scientific
certification---which amounts to career capital punishment for
these middle-aged, highly specialized scientists. "Meteorologists,"
insists Cullen, "are among the few people trained in the sciences
who are permitted regular access to our living rooms. [T]hey
owe it to their audience to distinguish between... science and
junk political controversy. 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."
Cullen's 17 December episode of "The Climate Code," featured Grist
magazine's Dave Roberts as an "eco-expert," openly calling for
Nuremberg-style trials for climate skeptics. Repression of this
sort no doubt makes Uncle Joe Stalin spin merrily in his tomb.
When critical reports slip past the MSM's censors, they're
instantly attacked for being funded by corporations. But with
the Left's steel grip on most sources of funding, scientists
unwilling to bend to the party line have difficulty raising money,
let alone ever finding positions. The inequality in funding
is enormous. Compare the 2004 annual budgets of the following:
the Sierra Club at $91 million and the Natural Resources Defense
Council at $57 million, versus the Left's favorite conservative
punching bag on environmental issues, the Competitive Enterprise
Institute, at $3.6 million. Clearly, the Left's out to win this
one, despite the massive damage it will inflict on our lives.
