Earlier this afternoon, dKossian jdawg1077 posted Climate change weather.com blog being freeped which called for our help in supporting The Weather Channel's Dr. Heidi Cullen against a freeper attack.
And raines' earlier diary, Sen. Envi. Cmtee. Comm. Dir./Swiftboater attacks Gore, Global Warming with Holocaust, makes it pretty clear this is no accident.
As jdawg1107 noted, Dr. Cullen:
... has been writing about the dangers global warming and climate change. There has been a link on Drudge all day today to a recent blog posting, and the featured responses thus far are beyond ignorant in regards to the facts and the science.
Methinks she could use a little bit of back-up, not to mention encouragement from those of us who actually are concerned about our planet's welfare
And boy could she ever, despite the gurgling idiocy of most of the posts.
Example:
Your statement above, "One Degree's mission will be to present an open, balanced dialogue around the scientific FACTS concerning global climate change", is in direct conflict with what H. Cullen proposes regarding certified meteorologists with differing opinions. Science is based on FACTS not peer-reviewed approval. Grow up people. I know you get big money from grants but please add some integrity and logic to your method and you liberals may get some respect.
And this is one of the milder examples.
Hooboy.
The action required of you? Get yee to Climate change and environment blog at The Weather Channel and stand up for Heidi Cullen and science.
Then, read raines' diary, which provides even more actions items in the last third of the diary.
Get to work, people!
And, please! KEEP THIS GOING, PEOPLE! We all know this isn't a popular topic at dKos, but those of us who are deeply concerned about science, the attacks on science and scientists, and global warming can keep this going long enough to bear fruit. So when this diary drops to the bottom, please rediary!
