Delgato has been very accurate in his forecasts and explains the weather well. He is a very respected forecaster who is honest. This is not his first time talking about GW as I’ve heard him say, explain items about it before.

I can say that it’s Fox station, a network I just don’t like, he has no bias I can see and look for nor does the other anchors, ect on it to my surprise. Recently started checking out National Fox and they are extremely different..

I think Delgato has more integrity than 99% of people and I’d trust him myself. He didn’t have to stick his neck out but apparently felt it was info the viewers needed and the other local metrologist back him up from other stations even. In fact there is a large difference between them and climatologists I’ve been finding out on GW. The difference seems to be observers and theorists. I’m going with the observers myself.

…I submit that you don’t have a scientific clue. You could not assure me of anything scientific. I won’t bother with the ‘Secret Conference’ that you can google. Sounds like typical fantasies of a conspiracy theorist…

You are entitled to your opinions on Olbermann, as am I. These opinions are primarily political and as such subjective, and as this is a science blog let’s leave it at that.

I can however assure you that the CDC’s secret Simpsonwood Conference did take place. Here’s the link to the study which was discussed at Simpsonwood:

I have a high regard for what Anthony has achieved with this site (and the surface stations project), but have to say that I am saddened by the tone and attitudes of some of the contributors. The often overtly right wing invective is painful for people like me who appreciate the science which questions AGW, but don’t go along with many (if any) aspects of the Republican/Neo-Con agenda. The CDC’s Simponswood conference did take place, and they did try to cover up the findings of their study, i.e. that using ethylmercury as a preservative in childhood vaccines was not a good idea. This does not make me a conspiracy theorist, because these are not theories, they are are facts. (That said, the simple truth is that occasionally, people in Government and in public and military agencies do conspire – e.g. Operation Northwoods, the USS Liberty, Operation Gladio etc.). So Sparky, please do some research into vaccine safety, rather than trust what you have been told by Fox and others in the MSM, and in the meantime you should refrain from such labelling and ad homenin attacks – it is ironic to suffer them here when they are tactics usually associated with the warmists.

What a load Mr. P.

“I didn’t mention thimerisol (which isn’t in MMR and never has been) but that said it is still a big issue with regard to vaccine safety. This isn’t the place but I can assure you that the science is not settled. If you doubt me google for the minutes of the CDC’s secret Simpsonwood conference in 2000, where they decided to cover up rather than go public on the truth about thimerisol (ethyl mercury) in vaccines. . . . It is true that it is not completely settled, but it is nearing it”

I submit that you don’t have a scientific clue. You could not assure me of anything scientific. I won’t bother with the ‘Secret Conference’ that you can google. Sounds like typical fantasies of a conspiracy theorist.

For those that are interested, the basis of the recent reports are likely based on the unfavorable rulings of the courts. The ‘Special Masters’ have been working towards resolving the many lawsuits surrounding vaccines and autism.

Gore shamelessly open about it(http://www.gore.com/en_xx/). Ultimately, however, it is the people’s responsibility to elect wise and knowledgeable leaders. Let’s hope that in 4 years someone of the caliber of Sarah Palin or Rush Limbaugh will be there to save the future of this country.

Dave Wendt (09:43:03) :

I remember his tenure at ESPN and he wasn’t that great there either, already displaying the penchant for pompous windbaggery that he has now developed to Himalayan proportions.

ROTFL! Nicely put!

buffer – to lessen the adverse effect of; ease: The drug buffered his pain.
ism – a distinctive doctrine, theory, system, or practice: This is the age of isms.

TV Weathermen should just stick to telling me what the weather will be like tomorrow. Their recent record on that has been awful. If the idiot cannot even get tomorrow right then his pontifications on anything that is further into the future can only be construed as guess work and leaning towards idealism.
As for Keith I find him an eloquent orator who invariably just shows people what they have said. If that proves embarrassing then that is the speaker’s problem not the messenger’s.
I’m detecting some bufferism happening on this site.

Most weathermen know their limits.

Apparently, they share these limits with other predictors of the weather future.

As they see people confidently predicting what will be 100 years from now, when it is really impossible to predict what will be a month from now, it bothers some. So they point out the obvious. The idealism of the AGW is simply being pointed out.

What in the world do you mean by “bufferism”?

Watched one of Mr. Olbermann’s shows; that was enough for me,
…fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

Seems to me that Mr. Dellegatto has the credibility edge here.
