Just who is demanding recantations?

One of the ad nauseum attacks on Christianity is that “the Church made Galileo recant.” (Of course, the critics always seem to ignore what really happened, but why mess up a good narrative?)

However, beloved, today our masters are “sophisticated” when it comes to science, and now people are able to speak freely on scientific issues. Not!

Today, anyone in a public situation who disagrees with Al Gore on man-caused climate change is forced to recant or be labeled a “holocaust denier.” The latest “recanter” will be CNN meteorologist Chad Meyers, who almost certainly will be forced to choose between his job and his belief that the Al Gore thesis is a fraud, something that already happened to his colleague Rob Marciano last year:

Unprecedented snow in Las Vegas has some scratching their heads – how can there be global warming with this unusual cold and snowy weather?

CNN Meteorologist Chad Myers had never bought into the notion that man can alter the climate and the Vegas snowstorm didn’t impact his opinion. Myers, an American Meteorological Society certified meteorologist, explained on CNN’s Dec. 18 “Lou Dobbs Tonight” that the whole idea is arrogant and mankind was in danger of dying from other natural events more so than global warming.

“You know, to think that we could affect weather all that much is pretty arrogant,” Myers said. “Mother Nature is so big, the world is so big, the oceans are so big – I think we’re going to die from a lack of fresh water or we’re going to die from ocean acidification before we die from global warming, for sure.”

Myers is the second CNN meteorologist to challenge the global warming conventions common in the media. He also said trying to determine patterns occurring in the climate would be difficult based on such a short span.

“But this is like, you know you said – in your career – my career has been 22 years long,” Myers said. “That’s a good career in TV, but talking about climate – it’s like having a car for three days and saying, ‘This is a great car.’ Well, yeah – it was for three days, but maybe in days five, six and seven it won’t be so good. And that’s what we’re doing here.”

“We have 100 years worth of data, not millions of years that the world’s been around,” Myers continued.
