It seems there is an ongoing argument in the weather community about whether CO2 as a warming agent is as dangerous as the enviros think it is. James Spann doing weather since '78 says:
The climate of this planet has been changing since God put the
planet here. It will always change, and the warming in the last 10
years is not much difference than the warming we saw in the 1930s and
other decades. And, lets not forget we are at the end of the ice age in
which ice covered most of North America and Northern Europe.
If you don’t like to listen to me, find another meteorologist with
no tie to grant money for research on the subject. I would not listen
to anyone that is a politician, a journalist, or someone in science who
is generating revenue from this issue.
Addendum: Kim adds to the debate here with a Cavuto debate on Fox.
Cavuto: Crippling snow in Denver, unseasonable warmth in the east, and
a deep freeze in Texas. Climate expert Heidi Cullen over at the Weather
Channel says that anyone paid to do the weather who does not blame all
of this on man made global warming should be out of a job. Now
meteorologist Larry Cosgrove says that Heidi needs to come in from the
heat a little bit, but Greenpeace, USA executive director John
Passacantando says that the Weather Channel woman actually has it
right. Ms. Cullen was unavailable to come on today, but if she were
here Larry, you’d be saying, what?
Cosgrove: She would say that I should not have an AMS Seal of
Approval for radio or television because I do not espouse the global
kool-aid line of the American Meteorological Society. Now, I like many
people, believe in global warming. You can’t refute that. Temperatures
are warming around the globe. But, the question is what’s causing it.
Is it purely man made as the American Meteorological Society and Dr.
Cullen espouse or is it a combination of events, namely what’s
happening on the earth and ’some help’ so to speak, from man kind.
