A "Prominent" Scientist From Kentucky

Senator James Inhofe has compiled a list of "prominent scientists" in order to show that there is somehow a large portion of the scientific community that doesn't believe in global warming and has facts to back it up.

It turns out there is one of these "scientists" from Bowling Green, KY.

One of the listed prominent scientists is Chris Allen, who holds no college degree, believes in creationism and belongs to a Southern Baptist church.
Allen is a weatherman at the FOX-affiliated TV station in Bowling Green, Ky.

Ed Brayton @ Dispatches has more.

This is what happens when people outside the field of science try to convince those they are tasked with representing that they know what they are doing.

This reminds me of the alleged "list of prominent scientists" that Sean Hannity used to have rapidly scrolling on the bottom of the screen during Hannity and Colmes last year. Sean is also known to use guests whos work has been discredited.
