Global Warming Propaganda, Redux

"But Gray, a highly visible and sometimes acerbic skeptic of climate change, says that's a "flimsy excuse" for the real motivation — a desire to push him aside because of his global warming criticism.

Among other comments, Gray has said global warming scientists are "brainwashing our children."

The above is an excerpt from the full Houston Chronicle article, which is now linked on Drudge.  William Gray is the most famous hurricane forecaster in the world, who has been associated with Colorado State Univiersity.  This blog has noted before that Gray is no fan of "global warming" propaganda, and has especially ridiculed the idea that "global warming" has been connected to hurricane activity.  His recent forecasts have of hurricanes (last two years) have been none too good, but neither have the forecasts of the National Hurricane Center.  

This is just a further illustration (see tomorrow's planned entry for a fuller analysis) of how "global warming" has less to do with science than it does with POLITICAL CORRECTNESS. 

As I have noted recently, it is ironic (although predictable) that the hysteria of "global warming" propaganda has intensified as the EVIDENCE has weakened--present evidence indicating that what global warming there was has ENDED, as much as a decade ago.

This story, of course, indicates just how much pressure is on scientists to fall in with the "party line" on "global warming".   Michael Crichton noted the same thing in his novel with a bibliography and appendix;  "State of Fear".  This story is all about Colorado State University withdrawing support for William Gray, in a rather obvious and clumsly attempt to "punish" him from his departure from the "global warming" religious orthodoxy.

P.S. to blondepennie:  See, no mention of Barack Obama at all.  Of course, that has something to do with the fact that Obama and McCain have the SAME basic position on "global warming":  the leftist position that threatens to destroy our economy, and perhaps bring starvation to the world. 

Double sigh.
