Summary: We like Mike Thompson, veteran meteorologist at WDAF-TV Fox4, but his recent rant against global warming seems a bit over the top. Comparing proponents of global warming to Hitler taking control of Germany on his blog seems a bit much. 04-15-2008 GLOBAL WARMING & HITLER?? Mike Thompson's blog (4/14): http://community.myfoxkc.com/blogs/wxteam4 As Joe (Lauria) pointed out, Dr William Gray is a very outspoken critic of the global warming proponents. As such, he has been attacked by the GW proponents, and funding for his research has dried up...he put $100,000 of his own cash into his research. He puts his money where his mouth is, and he would not do that were he not concerned over the derailing of logic in climate science. This story has become all too common for those who dare speak up, and debunk Global Warming. Gray, and other scientists with strong credentials in physics and climate science have been shouted down as climate heretics, for disagreeing with the GW crowd. It is easier to silence scientific dissent by utilizing the politics of personal destruction, than to actually debate them on the merits of their arguments. That should tell you something about the global warming debate...there is none right now...it's either you believe, or you are to be discredited. Isn't that how Hitler took control of Germany? It's a slow process, but it is scary, because if someone can control your energy sources, they can control you. We are already being told what light bulbs we can and cannot use...through legislation. We are being forced to fund research into alternative energies sources that are inefficient, and that cause the price of food, energy, and everything else to rise...through legislation....rather than allow free enterprise to allocate funds to those energy sources that will survive through good old American innovation! How far do we let it go? That's up to all of you.
