Oregon's "State Climatologist" to be fired for view on Global Warming

Actually, he may not be the only scientist who feels that way. I know that Michael Crichton who has a strong medical/science background has written that global warming is not the threat everyone seems to think it is. Still if there is a silencing, it is world wide. The US is probably the last to get on the global warming bandwagon.

I think it's a shame how the administration silenced over 100 climate scientists, as they testified before Congress recently. But I guess some people think it's bigger news when one conservative is silenced.

Yes it was a shame. That was his opinion I gues freedom of speech is dangerous in Oregon if it costs you your job. BTW I tried to vote but it would let me..not a member.

This is the price you pay if you are not politically correct and refuse to toe the line like a good little puppet. Anyone with any sense at all should be able to recognize that climatic change on a global scale is out of our control. People would rather blame someone, than admit it is a natural phenomenon and something they cannot control.

It's our Government at work once again making things look the way they want it to look for "the People"!A hidden agenda no dought. I hope that people are smart enough to see the truth. Thanks for the article

one of the most prominent doomsayers on climate is a fellow canadian david suzuki. he is typical of the sky is falling crowd. in the seventies he made a name for himself predicting the onset of a new ice age. now he's aquired more fame with dire predictions of global warming.his degree is in genetics so he has no more credibility on this issue than you or i. most of the scientists on the global warming bandwagon have a vested interest in the subject. i read a novel written in the late eighties that explored a scenario where carbon emissions were reduced so dramatically that the oxygen/carbon dioxide balance in the atmosphere changed to cause a glacial climate. the mechanism for this was the billions of tons of fertilizer humans have dumped in yhe oceans. the fertilizer promoted the growth of photo-synthetic algae causing a rise in the oxygen levels and decline in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. this resulted in a lowered greenhouse effect and the onset of an ice-age. this was only a novel, but i've heard the experts say many times that they can't account for fully half of all co2 emissions. if phyto-plankton are responsible for this missing co2 then we could easily tip the atmosphere into a serious cooling trend.these nutrients will circulate in the oceans for centuries, even millenia can we afford to cut emissions until we know where the excess co2 goes?
