“Members quitting the American Meteorological Society over stance on climate“ (2013-06-21). “This can’t be good” says Anthony Watts. Everyone’s quitting the American Meteorological Society because it’s an oppressive, dogma driven, anti-science organization! Global Warming is over!
Anthony knows this because renowned climate scientist Steve Milloy brought it to his attention. Steve Milloy is a Fox News commentator who runs junkscience.com (no, he’s not self-aware enough to know that his URL describes what he does) along with a variety of related political front organizations.
So, how many gullible meteorologists are left in that decrepit society? Three down, 13,997 to go. This is what Anthony wants us to think is denialist momentum?
What outrageous lies are the henchmen at the AMS trying to pass off as science? Here’s a taste:
There is unequivocal evidence that Earth’s lower atmosphere, ocean, and land surface are warming; sea level is rising; and snow cover, mountain glaciers, and Arctic sea ice are shrinking. The dominant cause of the warming since the 1950s is human activities. This scientific finding is based on a large and persuasive body of research. – Climate Change: An Information Statement of the American Meteorological Society
Oh, that’s the same thing that literally every international scientific organization says. They’re all in on it! Watts & Co. demand to see every single member’s signature or the S.O.s are all lying, natch.
Remember when Anthony claimed that elderly Hal Lewis quitting the American Physical Society was “on the scale of Martin Luther, nailing his 95 theses to the Wittenburg church door“? That turd sank pretty quickly too.
The only dissenting voice in the comments, “jai mitchell” found himself under “moderation” (meaning blocked) after a torrent of hostility and attempted intimidation.
Wott's Up With That? 
Reblogged this on uknowispeaksense and commented:
Here’s a chart to aide the visualisation of just how devastating the loss of three members from the American Meteorological Society is. did someone say “consensus”?

Yes, to mildly state facts on WUWT is “hate speech” and “trolling” and worthy of a ban unless or even if you provide your drivers license with photo, payslip for the past ten years and swear on the bible that you are not in the employ of one of those dreadful secret cults, an NGO like, say, World Vision or the Red Cross.
They really do live in another world.
Ah, as usual Willard Anthony, who is also, still appears to be a member of of the “AMS”, and a leading “Agnotologist”, is now deliberately ignoring this revised statement issued by the very same ‘AMS’, on August 20th, 2012.
Extract:
In other words, there is no further debate on “Global Warming” at ‘AMS’, period! The denialati, who vainly try to debate the issue at ‘AMS’ are given a copy of this policy statement and are all told in no uncertain terms there is no further need to debate this issue, the science on the subject is both rock solid and irrefutable. Kindly cease and desist spreading this ignorance of reality immediately!

Now, since “Willard Anthony” still appears to be a fully paid up member of the ‘AMS’, watt was that word, of nine letters, that starts with the letter “H”, again?
“Everyone’s quitting the American Meteorological Society because it’s an oppressive, dogma driven, anti-science organization! Global Warming is over!”
He never said any of this, simply reposted Twitter posts, but you post it as if he did. Isn’t that slander? Just who is doing the ‘attempted intimidation’? How is it that only 3 people and their rag-tag group of ‘mindless’ followers can do any intimidation? Did you read the Tweets?
How can the kicker walk into his NFL locker room and ‘intimidate’ his teammates? Best way to take care of him is shut him up right? Give him a swirlie and get a new kicker. Squelch all dissent with ad hominems. The consensus is always right. Just like the Nazis. Are you a weather Nazi?
Check out today’s info from Gavin Schmidt on Watts. Should we up the number to 4? I thought I heard something about the UN climate guy too. Starting to add up…

Talk to some of the commenters at WUWT, and you can get them to say things like the National Academy of Sciences has been overtaken by eco-radicals. Ask them for specifics on such accusations *crickets*.
