3.6 Trillion and Counting: New Billboard Clocks Emissions | Online NewsHour | June 30, 2009 | PBS
HEIDI CULLEN, Climate Central: Kevin Parker is a banker on a mission. He heads asset management for Deutsche Bank, and they paid for this, a carbon counter. It's a display that gives an up-to-the-minute reading of how much and how fast we're emitting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, gases which most scientists agree are warming the planet.2007: [Alleged] Junk Controversy [allegedly] not Junk Sciece
[Heidi Cullen] 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.
