I point you all (and especially you Phil) to this Blog by a local meteorologist in my area...

http://blogs.woodtv.com/?cat=11

He got his degree decades ago, so he's really old school, and from all reports is not very computer savvy. But he has great "telepresence" and the local viewers like, respect, and trust him.

That's the problem.

He uses his "official blog" on his television station's website to dispute global warming. He does nothing else but that. And everyone who reads his posts believe them completely.

And the worst part? He's a Christian Fundamentalist.

He is so entrenched in his own personal (and party line) dogma that he will not listen to dissenting opinions.

I just thought the august people here would like to take this fool on.
