Well, not really.
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. This latest call to silence skeptics follows a year (2006) in which skeptics were compared to "Holocaust Deniers" and Nuremberg-style war crimes trials were advocated by several climate alarmists.
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. [Note: It is also worth taking a look at the comments section at the bottom of Cullen’s blog, very entertaining.] See: http://climate.weather.com/blog/9_11396.html This latest call to silence skeptics of manmade global warming has been the subject of discussion at the annual American Meteorological Society’s Annual conference in San Antonio Texas this week.

I thought that the Liberals loved Free Speech. A DUer says just that
BushOut06 Global Warming deniers are not only stupid, but they are dangerous
I'm glad that Heidi Cullen is calling for the decertification of Global Warming deniers. It's a nice start. I'd love to see these people stripped of any teaching positions as well. We can't allow these right-wingers to influence our young people. Denying global warming is not only ignorant, but it's also dangerous, putting our entire planet at risk. Think about it – if these skeptics had their way, we would do absolutely nothing to curtail global warming. Their actions would not only fail to address the problem, but they would exacerbate the situation, perhaps bringing about drastic climatic change even faster.
Sounds a bit like Facism to me. How about you?
