Weather Channel's Heidi Cullen Bares...The Truth

A UK paper has tipped us off to a US TV broadcast development far more shocking than anything seen on Naked News weather forcasts: the truth. Per The Independent 'A leading climatologist on the Weather Channel in the United States [Heidi Cullen] has caused a squall in the industry by arguing that any weather forecaster who dares publicly to question the notion that global warming is a manmade phenomenon should be stripped of the American Meterorological Society Seal of Approval'. "It's like allowing a meteorologist to go on-air and say that hurricanes rotate clockwise and tsunamis are caused by the weather," she wrote in her internet blog. "It's not a political statement... it's just an incorrect statement." One commenter on Heidi's blog characterized her as a "Climate Hawk." Is that like a Neo-Climatologist? Just wondering. Anyway, cheers to Heidi, who knows which way the wind blows, and is not afraid to say it. She gets the TreeHugger seal of approval. Seals need pack ice too.
