....interesting story, im glad someone who is in the "know" is on the right side of the discussion...credits are a scam as it the alarmism in our society today... 
I love the story about Dr. Heidi Cullen that was referenced in that article. She wrote this:
"Meteorologists are among the few people trained in the sciences who are permitted regular access to our living rooms. And in that sense, they owe it to their audience to distinguish between solid, peer-reviewed science and junk political controversy. 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. It's like allowing a meteorologist to go on-air and say that hurricanes rotate clockwise and tsunamis are caused by the weather. It's not a political statement...it's just an incorrect statement."
The hilarious thing about that - the so-called climate expert forgot (or never knew) that hurricanes -do- rotate in that direction south of the equator.

If only the media would explain to the public Al Gores financial ties (carbon credits) to global warming, it is criminal.
Maybe because the media is in on it. The parent company of NBC is the General Electric Company, a corporation that is aggressively lobbying for global warming regulation. GE is looking to profit by selling high-priced global warming-related and alternative energy products. Maybe had a lot to do with NBC shoving "Green Week" down our throats. GE has a larger lobbying budget, than all the oil companies combined.

Good stuff to read.
It seems like more and more scientists now are voicing their skepticism of global warming fears. This ain't over.

Oddly enough, the thing that pisses me off the most is that Al Gore won a fucking Oscar...
One can only hope that history looks back on it the way we look back on the Grammy Award that was given to Milly Vanilly.
