William Gray Targeted for Siding with Science against Global Warming Hoax
Let this be a lesson to members of the scientific community who think truth and integrity are more important than the research grants scared up by the global warming hoax:
By pioneering the science of seasonal hurricane forecasting and teaching 70 graduate students who now populate the National Hurricane Center and other research outposts, William Gray turned a city far from the stormy seas into a hurricane research mecca.
But now the institution in Fort Collins, Colo., where he has worked for nearly half a century, has told Gray it may end its support of his seasonal forecasting.
As he enters his 25th year of predicting hurricane season activity, Colorado State University officials say handling media inquiries related to Gray's forecasting requires too much time and detracts from efforts to promote other professors' work.
But Gray, a highly visible and sometimes acerbic skeptic of climate change, says that's a "flimsy excuse" for the real motivation — a desire to push him aside because of his global warming criticism.
Among other comments, Gray has said global warming scientists are "brainwashing our children."
Other than his unwillingness to pretend he can see Emperor Gore's new clothes, there's no reason to pull the plug on Gray:
A professor of public relations at Boston University, Donald Wright, questioned why the university would want to pull back its support for Gray now, after he has published his forecasts for a quarter-century.
"It's seems peculiar that this is happening now," Wright said. "Given the national reputation that these reports have, you would think the university would want to continue to promote these forecasts."
Gray, he said, seems to deliver a lot of publicity bang for the buck. The seasonal forecasts are printed in newspapers around the country and splashed across the World Wide Web.
However, Gray's science-based hurricane predictions cannot complete with hoaxers' fantasy-based global warming predictions when it comes to extracting massive taxpayer-financed grants from the government. If he won't play along, he'll have to move along.
On tips from OT and Wiggins.

So it seems that politics trumps science, again.
So much for free and open debate.

I smell government grant money.

Does anyone want to bet that these "other professors" DON'T believe in "global warming'?
Yeah, I didn't think so.
