Who has final say over forces of Mother Nature?

NEW YORK - As the debate intensifies behind the forces of Mother Nature, the most visible spokespeople, the television weathercasters themselves, have become the tip of the iceberg when it comes to even the slightest changes in weather, or degrees.

Last week, researchers at the University of Texas at Austin and George Mason University released a study revealing that TV weathercasters can play an important role as informal science educators with many of them holding a varying degree of uncertainty when it came to climate change.

"People who don't believe in climate change are more likely to have something like 'climategate' confirm their previously held beliefs," the lead investigator of the University of Texas at Austin and George Mason University study, Edward Maibach, told Xinhua in a recent telephone interview.
