The NYT has an interesting article on the apparent schism between many "meteorologists" and "climate scientists" on global warming issues.  The take away:  Increasing public skepticism regarding anthropogenic global warming is due in part to the public's interaction with meteorologists, "who predict short-term weather patterns," who "dominate communications channels to the public," and who are often less educated than their climate scientist colleagues.  It couldn't be the substance, of course.
