QUOTE: "He points out that 101 hurricanes occurred from 1900 to 1949, in
a period of cooler global temperatures, compared with 83 from 1957 to
2006, when the earth warmed."
Colorado State University says it'll no longer promote the work of Dr.
William Gray. Is it really a cost-cutting move or are CSU and
eco-fascists trying to silence the godfather of hurricane forecasting?
The university says its decision is based solely on the burdens of
keeping up with media requests and inquiries about Gray's work that
overwhelm a lone media staffer.
It says the decision has nothing to do with the fact that Gray,
professor emeritus of CSU's atmospheric department, has been an
effective voice offering inconvenient truths debunking Al Gore's climate
disaster theories.
If these requests are too burdensome, we'd suggest CSU divert some funds
from Frisbee 101, or whatever passes for higher learning these days, and
hire another media staffer. We don't buy the excuse that inquiries
relating to Gray detract from the promotion of others' work. The man is
America's most reliable hurricane forecaster. If anyone's work should be
promoted, it should be his.
In a memo to colleagues after CSU officials informed him that media
relations would no longer promote his forecasts after 2008, Gray wrote:
"This is a flimsy excuse and seems to me to be a cover for the
department's capitulation to the desires of some who want to rein in my
global-warming criticisms."
And critical he has been. At last year's National Hurricane Conference
in New Orleans, Gray called Gore a "gross alarmist." "He's one of those
guys that preaches end-of-the-world type of things," Gray told AP. "I
think he's doing a great disservice, and he doesn't know what he's
talking about."
Gray says fluctuations in hurricane intensity and frequency, exhibit A
in Gore's inquisition, have nothing to do with carbon dioxide levels or
human activity, but with natural variations in ocean currents. He points
out that 101 hurricanes occurred from 1900 to 1949, in a period of
cooler global temperatures, compared with 83 from 1957 to 2006, when the
earth warmed.
Regarding moves to establish a climate change curriculum in public
schools, Gray said: "We're brainwashing our children. They're going to
the Gore movie and being fed all this. It's ridiculous."
More recently at the University of North Carolina, Gray told meteorology
students, "The human impact on the atmosphere is simply too small to
have a major impact on global temperatures."
"It bothers me that my fellow scientists are not speaking out against
something they know is wrong," Gray once said. "But they also know that
they'd never get any grants if they spoke out."
An increasing number are speaking out, inspired by Gray's courage. Gore
and his ilk complain about government censorship of their views. But
their opponents are the ones being silenced.

: "They don't tell you, that, in their computer models, it's assumed
that CO2 drives global warming. In other words, you assume the result
and say the computer model proves we were right. It's garbage in,
garbage out. If you don't program the computers to cause temperatures to
rise with CO2, then you have nothing." Dr. Don J. Easterbrook, Professor
Emeritus Geology, Western Washington University |
