Governor rebukes State climate skeptic

Ruth Ann Minner, the Governor of Delaware, has ordered the Delaware State Climatologist to stop using his title in public statements on climate change, citing a clash of views on global warming and confusion over the position's ties to the administration.

The Governor, a Democrat, does not like dissenting views.

Minner, who made the directive in a letter, described the move as a way to "clarify" the role of David R. Legates, a prominent skeptic of views that human activities are warming the planet and triggering climate shifts.

Squelch opposing views.

Lenin, Stalin and Malenkov would all be proud of the Governor of Delaware.
