The Weather Channel’s most prominent climatologist is advocating that broadcast meteorologists be stripped of their scientific certification if they express skepticism about predictions of manmade catastrophic global warming. This latest call to silence skeptics follows a year (2006) in which skeptics were compared to "Holocaust Deniers" and Nuremberg-style war crimes trials were advocated by several climate alarmists.
The Weather Channel’s (TWC) Heidi Cullen, who hosts the weekly global warming program "The Climate Code," is advocating that the American Meteorological Society (AMS) revoke their "Seal of Approval" for any television weatherman who expresses skepticism that human activity is creating a climate catastrophe.

That's true. Some people don't realize that what some people call "science" is actually a group of people voting at a symposium.

I'm sure that every person has beliefs and biases - and these become apparent when they are in a position of authority, Irregardless of how insignificant that authority might be.
When scientific opinions are suppressed that don't agree with the mainstream, it's a sorry state of affairs. Throughout history people with dissenting opinions have been persecuted - and the results have only retarded man kinds knowledge and advancements in science and technology.
If a "scientific" theory or conclusion cannot be openly debated and reviewed by peers, it probably isn't a very good theory.

Amendment 220 that is attached to an ethics bill will silence Conservative radio binding them up in so much red tape and fines that it wouldn't be feasable to continue. The Conservative radio tells the different issues going on in the Whitehouse and you can sign petitions. Nancy Pelosi started this one. If she gets it thru the conservatives will be silenced and we the public will no longer know what our goverment is doing on the issues. The democrats are also enacting a bill so there will be no whistle blowing to the media. It would seem they don't believe in freedom of speech at all!

Even some on the left are questioning the global warming hypothesis, for example Alexander Cockburn over at Counterpunch.org.
As for mainstream liberals suppressing free speech, that happens so routinely that it barely merits mention. Just whip out the race card is their usual tactic.

definite...positively...it truly is the reasoning at the back of political correctness... Political Correctness....to alter or regulate the political debate (my definition) those words are to silence and stop the debate. they are to furnish ability to the LEFT and by utilising continually starting to be a villain and to rally the backside... Examples If i did no longer vote for Obama....i'd desire to racist If i'm against gay marriage...homopholic It is going on and on...it supplies the LEFT the clarification to get rid of my freedom of speech and in the event that they are able to deem your comments as hate...they are able to even arrest or have me fired. stable-bye 1st modification Rights

my questions routinely get censored by free speech liberals on here
liberals only care about free speech so long as it is kooky, emboldens our enemies, or is downright treasonous.
