No doubt some Leftist environmentalist cultist will state:" Oh this is
just the opinion of some weatherman !".

To this I ask, aren't his qualifications on this subject matter better
than yours ?

From his blog - his bio:

"In 2005 I upgraded the AMS seal of approval to the new "Certified
Broadcast Meteorologist" designation. The CBM is the highest level of
certification from the AMS, and involves academic requirements, on-air
performance, a rigorous examination, and continuing education. I am CBM
number 33, meaning I am the 33rd person in the nation to earn it. I
wanted to be the first in Alabama, but a couple of guys in Huntsville
beat me to it. Just not enough hours in the day!

Well, well. Some "climate expert" on "The Weather Channel"
wants to take away AMS certification from those of us who believe the
recent "global warming" is a natural process. So much for
"tolerance", huh?

I have been in operational meteorology since 1978, and I know dozens
and dozens of broadcast meteorologists all over the country. Our big
job: look at a large volume of raw data and come up with a public
weather forecast for the next seven days. 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. Here are the
basic facts you need to know:

*Billions of dollars of grant money is flowing into the pockets of
those on the man-made global warming bandwagon. No man-made global
warming, the money dries up. This is big money, make no mistake about
it. Always follow the money trail and it tells a story. Even the lady
at "The Weather Channel" probably gets paid good money for a prime
time show on climate change. No man-made global warming, no show, and
no salary. Nothing wrong with making money at all, but when money
becomes the motivation for a scientific conclusion, then we have a
problem. For many, global warming is a big cash grab.

*The climate of this planet has been changing since God put the planet
here. It will always change, and the warming in the last 10 years is
not much difference than the warming we saw in the 1930s and other
decades. And, lets not forget we are at the end of the ice age in which
ice covered most of North America and Northern Europe.

If you don't like to listen to me, find another meteorologist with no
tie to grant money for research on the subject. I would not listen to
anyone that is a politician, a journalist, or someone in science who is
generating revenue from this issue.

In fact, I encourage you to listen to WeatherBrains episode number 12,
featuring Alabama State Climatologist John Christy, and WeatherBrains
episode number 17, featuring Dr. William Gray of Colorado State
University, one of the most brilliant minds in our science.

WeatherBrains, by the way, is our weekly 30 minute netcast.

I have nothing against "The Weather Channel", but they have crossed
the line into a political and cultural region where I simply won't
go.
