Heidi Cullen Advocates Scientific Censorship?
With just a single sentence in an obscure blog entry, Dr. Heidi Cullen of The Weather Channel has managed to get herself slammed by no less a luminary than the dreaded Rush Limbaugh.
Here's the sentence: "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."
Read the entire post HERE.
When I heard Mr. Limbaugh ranting and raving over Cullen's written comment, I thought that surely he must be mistaken. Rush has been known to miss once or twice.
Well, Rush, you weren't wrong, but you were getting a little over-exercised. Or were you?
It turns out that Dr. Cullen has had as a guest on her show a fella named Dave Roberts who has advocated the following for people who are sceptical of "global warming" theories: "When we've finally gotten serious about global warming, when the impacts are really hitting us and we're in a full worldwide scramble to minimize the damage, we should have war crimes trials for these bastards -- some sort of climate Nuremberg." See his words HERE.
My apologies to Rush - and it appears to me that Dr. Heidi Cullen and The Weather Channel deserve all the criticism they get.
