The American Meteorological Society released the results of a survey of TV meteorologists gauging their opinions on climate change. With a full 50% of respondents disagreeing that man is responsible for global warming, the survey indicates continuing cracking in the ‘consensus’ of the manmade climate change theory. The survey results, published in the October 2009 issue of ‘Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society’ (BAMS), show that a significant portion of meteorologists continue to doubt that man is the driving force of climate change. When asked about the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) statement that ‘Most of the warming since 1950 is very likely human-induced,’ a full 50% either disagree or strongly disagree. 25% were neutral and a mere 24% said they agreed or strongly agreed. Similarly, meteorologists doubt the very global climate models on which the anthropogenic global warming theory is based. These models have been shown to be incapable of predicting historical climate changes and their predictions continue to fall outside of scientific norms. Reflecting this, 52% of the meteorologists disagreed with that statement that ‘Global climate models are reliable in their projections for a warming of the planet.’ A mere 19% said they agreed […]

Stephan: TV meterologists, who typically have bachelor degrees in meterology - the lowest level of training - often from second or third tier colleges, nontheless are in their viewers' living rooms day after day. Perhaps this is one reason why Americans, in contradiction to the populations of most other high technology countries, have a decreasing belief in the reality of climate change. When your pastor and your friendly weatherperson both suggest climate change is a liberal scam for many people that is all it takes to shape their views.
It seems increasingly improbable to me that will be ready to meet what is coming.
