'Crazy' views of Weather Channel climatologist assailed

Maybe Climofascist Heidi Cullen is the one who should have her AMS Seal of Approval revoked.....

A growing number of meteorologists are publicly countering the claims of environmental activists who argue manmade global warming threatens the planet's existence.

The Weather Channel's climate expert, Heidi Cullen, recently said the American Meteorological Society should revoke its "seal of approval" from any television meteorologist who does not believe in manmade global warming. However, a veteran meteorologist and hurricane expert says Cullen's views on global warming are "crazy" and "misinformed."

"I wonder how she knows so much more than the rest of us," says Dr. William Gray, a professor emeritus in the Department of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University. "I doubt if she has as much experience with the atmosphere and knows as much as the long-term TV weathermen who have been at it for many decades and have a built-in understanding for how the atmosphere ticks," offers Gray, who has been called "the world's foremost hurricane expert."

Last week a panel of veteran Cleveland TV meteorologists said global warming should not be considered a scientific fact. One of the panelists estimated that 95 percent of meteorologists nationwide shared his skepticism over global warming.
