Global Warming

Well I just had my good laugh for the day. Instapundit pointed to this post which included the following quote:
Specifically, Ms Cullen is suggesting that the American Meteorological Society (AMS) revokes the "seal of approval" that it normally extends to broadcast forecasters in the US in cases where they have expressed scepticism about man's role in pushing up planetary temperatures.

"It's like allowing a meteorologist to go on-air and say that hurricanes rotate clockwise and tsunamis are caused by the weather," she wrote in her internet blog. "It's not a political statement... it's just an incorrect statement."
Emphasis added. What's so funny about the above? Well it immediately made me think of Al Gore's recent movie An Inconvenient Truth. Here's the poster for that movie. Notice anything funny?



Yes - the hurricane at the top of the picture is rotating clockwise. Maybe Ms. Cullen will have the guts to come out to call Al Gore's move both political and incorrect?
