Cullen has stirred a lot of controversy. Many conservatives have said that The Weather Channel has no place being "political" (blah, blah, blah), but what's really annoying is that she is often criticized for being a "TV meteorologist" and not a "real scientist," which is plainly not true. I'd seen so many of those arguments that I had no idea that she was a former NCAR researcher - you'd think people would gather a little background research first.

She's got a blog post here (http://www.weather.com/blog/weather/8_11392.html) on the Weather Channel that is just inundated by skeptics. It's absolutely amazing how many people are out there, trolling the forums with the exact same skeptic/denier rhetoric. And then, of course, the pro-climate folks avoid those venues, so it looks like the majority of people believe that socialist greenies want to tear down big business, and that's the end of that!
