I think the concern was that this sole voice, was regarded as speaking for the state, which would like to do something about global warming. The governor just wanted him to stop using the title that wasn't quite his, and find someone to actually fill the state position.
Here is part of an article on it:

To governor, Oregon has no 'climatologist'
Global warming - Ted Kulongoski wants contrarian meteorologist George Taylor to stop speaking for the state
Saturday, February 10, 2007
MICHELLE COLE and MICHAEL MILSTEIN
SALEM -- Gov. Ted Kulongoski wants to make it perfectly clear who has the official word on global warming in Oregon: He does.
Kulongoski has asked the president of Oregon State University to stop George Taylor, head of the Oregon Climate Service, from calling himself the "state climatologist."
Taylor, who has a master's degree in meteorology, has been widely known as Oregon's state climatologist since 1991 and uses that title. Technically, however, the position was discontinued along with federal funding in the late 1980s. The state-funded Oregon Climate Service tracks weather and generates maps from offices at OSU. -

Actually the man who was "silenced" only CALLED himself the state climatologist. He does not have a state position. The governor is just making him not use that TITLE.
The guy has a masters in meteorology.
Meteorology is NOT climatology and definitely not paleoclimatology.
And while getting a masters is quite an accomplishment, it suggests that he and his research (if he has done any- I do not know) has not gone through the scrutiny that some one who has gone a little further in his field of research

Warlock...
They actually cannot say with *100% certainty* that smoking causes lung cancer...
Do you believe that?
There are many "medical researchers" that have "proven" that there is not a definite link between the two...
And they usually are funded by Phillip Morris...
Just like the "scientists" that are funded by oil interests to say that current warming is not anthropogenic.
-And how do we know we are not being brainwashed? Because we have examined each side of the issue- I personally have spent the last 2 1/2 years working on my doctorate on glacial retreat. That is why I make the comments I do, because I have actually looked into the issues and at both sides, as we are required to do here in skool. I have spoken with scientists many who conduct research on global warming and some day I hope to be counted as one of them myself...
I hope that I am anything but brainwashed. I have had to defend my research before many folks who had doubts about what I do, so I am not surrounded by groups of "yes men" or "company men" as we were in the WTS. People in the climate change arena like controversy and like to critique other folks research- that is why this consensus on current warming is so striking.

My mom would always nod off and I would gently insert my finger into her nose until she awoke with a start. :P
That was always a good one. She would be mad but she couldn't really "get" mad at me...

Wagner - inspired kingdom melodies???
by Kudra ini'm just listening to some classical music online at work and the piece "die meistersinger, overture" is on- so many of its phrases (or whatever you call little sections of the song) are totally the same as some kingdom melodies... .
right now i can hear "look i am making all things new" (or whatever the actual title is) in wagners piece.... .
aaaiiigh.

Oh my god, it's exactly the same and it's diving me nuts.
Why don't they just play some freaking hymnals if they are so intent on using the "music of the world"?
arrrgh.

Hi
I'm just listening to some classical music online at work and the piece "Die Meistersinger, overture" is on- SO MANY of its phrases (or whatever you call little sections of the song) are TOTALLY the same as some kingdom melodies...
Right now I can hear "Look I Am Making All Things New" (or whatever the actual title is) in Wagners piece....
AAAIIIGH. It is EXACTLY THE SAME.
Can anyone who knows about classical vs. kingdom melodies tell me if I am right???
