Climatologist Heidi Cullen whose program, The Climate Code, airs weekly on The Weather Channel thinks that TV weather men who do not take the threat of global warming seriously should have their "Seal of Approval" from the American Meteorological Society withdrawn. "’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,’ Cullen wrote on TWC’s Web site. ‘Cullen’s call for decertification of TV weathermen who do not agree with her global warming assessment follows a year (2006) in which the media, Hollywood and environmentalists tried their hardest to demonize scientific skeptics of man-made global warming,’ …according to Marc Morano, communications director for the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment & Public Works. Cullen’s call for squelching scientific dissent comes as many skeptical university scientists have essentially been silenced over fears of loss of tenure and the withdrawal of research grant money, according to Morano.” Still, most TV weathermen are skeptical about the claims of global warming.
