Portland’s Global Warming Food Fight

April 10, 2012

Tonight at Portland State University is the next round in the man made global warming discussion sponsored by the Oregon Chapter of the American Meteorological Society. But don’t expect any fire works there. No, I’m pretty sure those have occurred in the emails leading up to tonight’s speech by head warmist Phil Mote.


The friction comes from man made global warming skeptics fighting for room in the public debate. They fought for time in an AMS meeting which was BANNED BY OMSI (see previous posts herehere, and here).



Now the skeptics want to be heard at this latest presentation by the pro man made global warmists. 

It involves a snit fit between Astrophysicist Gordon Fulks and members of the AMS board including Steve Pierce and KPTV weatherman Mark Nelson.


You have been friendly to me in person, and hopefully you feel I have been friendly back to you the couple of times we have met.  I will continue to be polite and friendly when I see you again.
Why did I block you?
Your constant personal attacks on our AMS Executive Board, George Miller, Steve Pierce, and just about anyone that doesn’t agree with you became tiring.  In fact your very first email, maybe two years ago, attacked me along with Matt Zaffino for promoting a global warming agenda on television.  How many times do you think I’ve mentioned global warming on air in the past 5 years?  I don’t think I have!  You were just making that up to support YOUR agenda.  I see that pattern continuing even through this weekend’s emails.


And another:

After offering a conciliatory message to all involved in the battles over the upcoming Oregon AMS meeting, President Steve Pierce received a message from one of his fellow Board members (Mark Nelsen) and completely lost his composure.  Below you will see him kissing me off – one last time – and suggesting that perhaps I should be barred from the meeting tomorrow night!  This is bizarre behavior from the president of a professional society.

And this one:

P.S. In light of the scathing email that Dr. Fulks sent out last Friday, several long-standing and well respected AMS members, who coincidentally side with Dr. Fulk’s view on climate change, have asked that he be barred from entering Portland State University tomorrow night. I’m not sure this is necessary, but thought it was worth noting none-the-less.


Suffice it to say that the Doppler shows a storm brewing.
