A Trenton, New Jersey, meteorologist has just launched a new website to counter the constant stream of disinformation about anthropogenic global warming coming from a hysterical media.
As reported by ClimatePolice.com (emphasis mine throughout):
Joseph Conklin, a meteorologist with expertise in the analysis of surface weather observations, has launched a website to help promote alternative scientific views on climate change. He believes these views have been overshadowed and even wrongly criticized by sensationalist news stories.
The press release continued:
"The goal of the website is to show the public that other research on climate change exists and the debate is not over. In science, alternate views should always be welcomed, not silenced," Conklin states.
Furthermore, Conklin insists on keeping information at his website non-partisan:
While research on either side of the climate change debate can be submitted to the website, only those not linked to any political group will be accepted.
"Scientific research should be apolitical. Extremist groups have promoted global warming as their primary political issue. I want this website to help correct that."
How refreshing. For those interested, here are Conklin’s credentials:
Mr. Conklin has over 14 years experience collecting and analyzing surface weather observations. He has additional experience in radar/lightning analysis, wind shear detection, and software development. Mr. Conklin holds a meteorology degree from Rutgers University and an interdisciplinary degree from Monmouth University where his master's thesis involved climate studies with lightning and severe storms. He also operates NiceWeather.com, a website specializing in monthly weather forecasts.
We certainly wish Mr. Conklin and his team great success with their new endeavor, and look forward to their contributions concerning this crucial issue.

Followed by William Gray, the hurricane climatologist and Timothy Ball the Canadian Climatologist. We need to wear that moniker proudly.

February 24, 2007 - 17:09 ET by Noel SheppardMC,
Interesting point that I hadn't considered. I've invited the folks involved with the website to become members here and participate in the discussion. Hopefully they will, and we can clarify that issue. ns
On that note...
February 24, 2007 - 17:39 ET by UnsaneBut, on that point, why did NB once (and might still do on occasion) have advertisements for subscriptions to the New York Times?

February 25, 2007 - 12:29 ET by dahliatraversYes, actually. Wouldn't it be censorship if NB refused their ad? Who cares if even the Workers World Weekly wanted to buy an ad on the site?

February 25, 2007 - 21:05 ET by midnight cowboyBig difference.
NewsBusters is a political sight that doesn't hide which politics it supports, It's readers log on expecting a certain political point of view, so if the New York Times wants to lose it's money by advertising here so be it.
This anti-global warming website is claiming to be non-political. It's readers don't log on with a predisposition that the sight has an agenda and don't expect it to be taking a political position. Therefore when the looney left runs an ad contradicting the context of the site it can create confusion in an unuspecting mind. Same reason why Consumer Reports magazine doesn't accepts advertising. It would be appearing to forfeit it's position of neutrality when rating consumer goods.

February 24, 2007 - 17:09 ET by AtheistRepublicanHe probably uses an ad service that evaluates a page based on keywords, creating an ironic situation that, if you frequent hotair you may have seen before. Such a system is a lot easier then going out and contracting out your add space yourself.
EDIT: Typos, lots of typos.

February 24, 2007 - 17:12 ET by Noel SheppardAR,
I was thinking that as well. However, can't one still request of such a service to not include political ads? ns

February 24, 2007 - 17:21 ET by AtheistRepublicanI don't know for sure, I've never used such a service, but it probably depends on the service and if the owner of the site had the foresight to think of activating such an option, and I don't know about you but personally I wouldn't really have the foresight to think of requesting that no ads of that nature show up.

Website ads
February 25, 2007 - 19:38 ET by nkviking75I've seen countless ads on multiple conservative websites advertising stuff that is completely in opposition to conservatism. I think a lot of sites, especially small ones, become affiliates to services that give the webmaster money for allowing them to run their ads on those sites. It can be really jarring.
