Veteran forecaster Danny Rupp in a conversation with the science website: Many of the forecasters on TV in the US are entertainers and not professionals. "According to the best studies, the earth is warming and man is to blame"
The denial of science in the US is reaching new heights, and this time surveys conducted among forecasters who appear on US television news shows show that almost half of the forecasters on television doubt that warming is actually happening and over 60% believe that if it exists, man is not responsible for it.
San Diego-based forecaster John Coleman recently said live: "It amazes me how many billions of dollars the government is willing to spend our tax dollars to fight a war that is not real. As a scientist, I know that warming does not exist at all."
The American Meteorological Association decided to put an end to the phenomenon and appointed a committee that is currently working on formulating the association's position regarding warming, which will also oblige its members, the forecasters. The American blogger Kevin Antony Studa, writes that following the findings of the surveys, some of the leaders in the meteorological community began to fight for their profession to be on the right side of the truth. But this will not happen without a fight.
To understand where this denial could come from, we spoke with Channel 10's veteran television forecaster, Danny Rupp, who said: There is no completely conclusive evidence, but if you look around, there is a trend that cannot be denied that the Earth is warming. It's a fact, you don't have to be a great scientist, you take averages and see that it gets hot.
The scientists who believe explain that the warming is due to the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, in particular carbon dioxide, and the ones to blame for this are us, the humans who emit it from the industrial plants, cars, our uses of materials and more, which are the causes of the warming. There is a minority of scientists who say that this is a passing phenomenon that, just as there were ice ages, we had a warm decade, and it is possible that the next decade will be colder than usual. They do not take into account what is happening to the world, to industry, to emissions. From a scientific point of view, it is clear that the carbon dioxide gas creates a layer above the atmosphere that contains the radiation and warms the earth. Those who claim that this is a cyclical phenomenon do not give an answer to the issue of greenhouse gas levels.
Warming causes extreme weather phenomena and we see it in our small country too. I don't remember except for the last decade that there was such a period when everything changed, and we already stopped seeing rain that starts in November and continues during the winter. We see more phenomena like it was on Sunday, a boom that lasted for six hours is over. Everything you learned in meteorology, 50% of it can be thrown away, the atmosphere behaves differently. Glaciers are melting. The question is whether it will continue or whether it will stop. There is agreement that there is warming, but there are those who claim that it can be reversed. I am of the opinion that the earth is warming and as a result of this heating things are going to be more extreme and weirder.
As for the US TV forecasters, I doubt they asked the people who are professional forecasters. Some presenters are not soothsayers but entertainers. If some of the people who came from the field of science and not from the field of show business asked this, it is strange, on what basis do they say that the earth does not warm up when it warms up? They might want to do it to get exposure. In my opinion this is not a representative sample. Most forecasters who know the field and work in the field know that the earth is warming."
"I am also a TV forecaster and a professional, but I am not a climate researcher. Thus, I give the answer of climate and atmospheric scientists. From letters I have done and interviews with professionals in Israel and around the world, I believe that this thesis that the earth is warming because of humans, is the correct one. The science of meteorology is not an exact science and in any research done in any scientific field there are always opponents, there are always those who will say the opposite whether they believe in it or to create resonance around them.
"There is scientific evidence, this is not speculation. The WMO publishes a report every year on what is happening to the earth. why is it happening? We don't know completely, because it's not math, we'll never know XNUMX percent," says Rupp, who, as mentioned, accepts the position of the mainstream of climate scientists.

Amit, warming is a fact, despite the whining of the Koch brothers' nonsense echoers.
As a site that covers science, I am prevented from referring to conspiracy theories that only try to look for the negative in the prevailing theory without offering a solution, just like the creationists.
Danny himself says that "there is no completely conclusive evidence" and continues and claims that his intuition indicates that this is a real phenomenon.
the scientist? A scientific site? Bankruptcy!
To my father and the other "warming" fighters. Gentlemen, the war is about preventing pollution and the destruction of the natural environment. Warming (on my part, all its deniers will be right from here until the last glaciers in the Himalayas) is only a part and maybe not even the most important.
We need to go back and teach why it is so important to clean the air from all industrial and transportation pollution, this is an important enough and correct goal, what is more, improving the atmosphere and cleaning it will lead to lowering the temperature.
http://www.ted.com/talks/kary_mullis_on_what_scientists_do.html A respectable lecture in the 21st minute he denies global warming
What is the connection between evolution and global warming? The reasons for global warming are many, weather forecasting has thousands of variables including the level of activity of the sun over which man has no control. Climate changes are known throughout the different periods from the age of the dinosaurs to the last ice age. I hope you do not put the end of the last ice age before 10000 A year in man's industrial activity!
You have the right not to believe, unfortunately there are a lot of people who do not believe in science - for example scientifically based science such as evolution. There are also "floaters" in India who think they can overcome gravity.
I personally do not believe that man caused the warming. We may have caused some, but most of the warming is caused by processes that cannot be controlled by man and happened long before man existed.
You can't deny the facts. The earth is really warming, but it has been warming for over 10000 years since the last ice age. I don't remember that during the Jurassic period, 65 million years ago, when the temperatures on the surface of the earth were much warmer than today and there was no ice on the poles, these are vegetation Tropical, who blamed human or dinosaur activity for global warming
Man undoubtedly increases the concentration of PAD in the atmosphere. This is even measurable, in principle, if we consider the emissions of all industries and vehicles.
However, this is not necessarily a bad thing. Crops will increase significantly with a greater concentration of PADH, so the scaremongering of scientists should not be accepted as representing the full picture.
However, (yes, life is not simple), there is the question of pollution, which concerns the health of each of us. And in this aspect, it is worthwhile to switch to cleaner energy sources, assuming that the saving in pollution after the switch outweighs the pollution required for the switch itself.
More about the claim that Mars is warming

The ice caps on Mars are seasonal. They melt (or rather take off) every summer and build a new one every winter. Mars does not have a strong moon, so its axis oscillates so that sometimes the sun is more strongly inclined to one of the poles, the ellipse of its orbit is also larger, therefore sometimes it is very hot and sometimes it is very cold (relative to the average).
There are no humans on Mars who disrupt the natural cycle.
When you manage to isolate all the variables and come to the conclusion that man is also to blame for Mars, then we will eliminate global warming.
For all followers of the new religion, it is "global warming".
Did you know that the Martian ice caps have also been melting in recent years? Oh yes, there are two NASA cars responsible for global warming on Mars….
The problem with this new religion is that its believers think they are scientists.
Max Power,
Personally, I've been doing everything you listed for a long time, and even more... except that if you want all people to behave like this - you need to publish your proposals + explanations in newspapers that appeal to the general public.
From the website I expect somewhat more serious articles on the subject, and not just surveys from the American "Uncle", who everyone who knows him in depth knows how superficial and shallow he is, to say the least...
my father
Make no mistake, I do appreciate your work and your struggles
And I think that the way of science is indeed correct, apparently my words were not understood properly,
Everything I'm trying to tell you, so that you don't sin and get dragged into the polemic you're in
Good will, brings as evidence data or publications that do not work from the scientific aspect.
There maybe one should add I think that…., it seems to me that…, according to his words…. and so
Encourage your daughter to consume less, for example, go shopping with a basket from home and not use plastic bags, use public transportation, dry laundry on a line and not in the dryer, lower the cooling or heating power of the air conditioner. Use fluorescent bulbs and not halogen.
A question (perhaps a bit annoying) and also a small suggestion:
We understood, and I think all the readers of the site, that the world is warming, but what exactly should we do about it: throw away our cars? Stop heating the house? Lately I have also heard that we also need to stop consuming milk or meat because the cows...
So maybe instead of surveys about what such and such people think, we should bring articles that will give us an explanation of what needs to be done...
I was one of the recipients of the warm-up as an absolute truth, but I have seen several conspiracy films,
which made me realize that it is better to be agnostic about the matter. The truth is, I have no idea if the Earth is warming,
Cools down, or remains happy with his status quo.
What's more, there are enough agendas that can be exploited on both sides.
On the one hand, it is possible to freely pollute and throw garbage into the air, sea and land if 'there is no warming'.
On the other hand, draconian taxes and emergency laws can be imposed on frightened populations and producers, because 'in a moment we will run out of air and water'.
Warms up - in the summer
Cools down - in winter
Indeed skepticism is not a bad word, but there are things that can be doubted while there are things that have been proven for sure. Would you ever question gravity?
As I mentioned before, until Science and Nature change their position and support the 'skeptics' (or rather the deniers), for me this is the best scientific Gushpenka, and I will not move from it even though some oil gods want it.
"For sure".
Yes Yes. I have encountered during my short life several such certainties that were recognized after a while.. as wrong.
But why spoil a good story?
Father, skepticism is not a bad word.
Indeed from our iniquities, but not the religious iniquities, but the iniquities between man and the planet he lives on. And for that, Yom Kippur and Earth Day do not atone.
By the way, what is the Holy of Holies or is it the Kaaba?
If the planet is warming it is because of our iniquities
They used hot things all the time and there was no concept of a hole in the ozone
We should pray to God because in his hands is the key to the rains
For sure, because man violates the carbon balance in nature through the incessant pumping of carbon dioxide from industrial plants, vehicles, etc., and in addition, he also cuts down forests and suffocates the plankton - two factors that absorb carbon in nature.
It is true that there were fluctuations in the past and there are fluctuations now - around a higher threshold - but no explanation given by the deniers gives an answer to the question of the effect of the carbon concentration in the atmosphere.
I know that global warming is an undisputed fact, but has it also been proven that man is responsible for it?
Or, it is not practical to provide a reference in every article, certainly every time you talk about something proven, because otherwise its length would be unlimited. Go to the Global Warming Science (the list of all scientists appears on the site map - link at the bottom of each page) and you will see that there are enough studies that prove it. It's like asking Wikipedia to write "The sun rises in the morning [source needed]"
The reference to the polls among the forecasters appears in the first link.
It's a shame that the scientists have to face the argument that they don't have a sister instead of working.
my father
On the one hand, there is no place in my opinion for an article of this level, here,
The article includes opinions and hypotheses without reference,
On the other hand, the opinion of forecasters in the USA is certainly surprising and interesting,
As for your definition, new records, perhaps true, compared to the one in the past,
point
I believe the purpose of the article is not to test Rupp's knowledge
But to emphasize to the reader that most forecasters in the US…….
I don't think Danny Rupp even knows what pressure is, or what temperature is. He did indeed say this word many, many times in his life. But I think he has no idea what it is.
