I always liked James Spann...and I like him even more now for standing up and saying this:
ABC TV Meteorologist Claims He Does Not Know A Single Weatherman Who Believes 'Man-Made Global Warming Hype'...
This comes on the heels of The Weather Channel's Heidi Cullen calling for the American Meteorological Society to "revoke the 'seal of approval' that it normally extends to broadcast forecasters in the US in cases where they have expressed skepticism about man's role in pushing up planetary temperatures." Typical...
On a related note, I had to hear about "global warming" in church, of all places, this past Sunday. Luckily, the context was somewhat acceptable (we're supposed to take care of God's creation because He cares about it and so should we), but the insinuation that it's our (mankind's) fault that the polar bears are losing some of their habitat due to man-caused global warming was a bit much. I'm going to have to go Church of Christ or Presbyterian (PCA) if this kind of crap keeps up...like the Saudi Arabian flag flying (along with other nations, of course) in the sanctuary on "World Communion Sunday." Do they not realize that people are executed in Saudi Arabia for the crime of apostasy (that is, when it involves leaving islam for another religion)? But I digress.
On the global warming topic...I have never said, and will never say, that we shouldn't be good stewards of the earth. We should recycle and work to reduce pollution. But to attempt to use 150 years' worth (at most) of climate data--when the planet is 4 1/2 billion years old--to influence and create public policy is absurd. Worse yet is the fact that the global warming kool-aid drinkers won't even debate it. Fanatics like Al Gore speak of "global warming deniers"...are they like "holocaust deniers?" I don't think anybody is denying the fact that the earth's temperature is experiencing a warming trend. But some of these same alarmists were worrying about "global cooling" in the 1970s. It seems that "global warming" has been hijacked by anti-industrial (and some anti-human) environmentalists and animal-rights wackos and eco-terrorists as well as some liberal do-gooders and nanny-state nincompoops as an excuse to attempt to more heavily regulate the way we live our lives. The sooner they all shut up, the better.

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.This comes on the heels of The Weather Channel's Heidi Cullen calling for the American Meteorological Society to "revoke the 'seal of approval' that it normally extends to broadcast forecasters in the US in cases where they have expressed skepticism about man's role in pushing up planetary temperatures."
