This morning, The Weather Channel continues (as usual) to broadcast the climate change indoctrination scare tactics, courtesy of the worldwide push by the globalist elites bent of worldwide dominion. Their screed today includes showing how shipment via air, ground by choosing a fast shipment option negatively impacts our climate, and we need to select slower options so that there are not so many aircraft and trucks running around with partial loads. So...delivery by bicycle? If they've eaten veggies, they'll fart and emit methane. Bad. Pony express? Poop methane. Walk? Oh no, COVID spread! Local pickup? Invite total strangers to case...

So the producer of the new film about Ted Kennedy’s Chappaquiddick scandal says some “very powerful people” tried to kill his movie. What a surprise — NOT! “Unfortunately,” Byron Allen told Variety last week, “very powerful people tried to put pressure on me not to release this movie. They went out of their way to try and influence me in a negative way.” Byron Allen is a TV comedian from the ’80s who has become a successful Hollywood mogul. He just bought what’s left of The Weather Channel for $300 million. By the way, he’s also black, so you would...

The Weather Channel says it is getting rid of its reality TV shows, along with morning shows led by Sam Champion and Al Roker. The struggling network is looking to get back to its roots, with less expensive programming and a lineup that appeals more to weather geeks. An estimated 50 people out of The Weather Channel's staff of 1,400 are losing jobs as a result, the network said on Thursday. The NBC Universal-owned network had lured Champion from ABC's "Good Morning America" to host "AMHQ," a weather-focused morning news program. Starting in early November, Champion will work on weather...

During the first week of January,we were all laughing and ridiculing "The Usual Global Warming Suspects".And yet since the first Polar Vortex,G.W. Supporters never gave up explaining on various news programs that the first record cold wave was caused by Global Warming.Now,as we all know by now,"Polar Vortex 2.0" is forecast to actually be either colder,and/or longer than the first one from week of Jan.3.So does anyone expect to hear from Al Roker,Al Gore or even "The Weather Channel"?,Maybe at least once this winter someone will declare that G.W. is a hoax? And why wont anyone on the Weather Channel...

The Weather Channel, in less than 12 hours, will lose 20 million viewers if it can’t reach a deal with DirecTV to continue carrying its network. It has appealed to viewers to tell DirecTV and Congress that it serves a public good, and that cutting the network will put lives at risk. “If you have ever been in a severe weather decision and you need to make a decision to protect your family, you need to get your information from a trusted source,” said Weather Channel president David Clark. ... Many viewers also realize their local weather teams can provide...

MARIETTA — A former Weather Channel star is suing the Cobb-based channel and its new owners, claiming she was fired because of her military service. Meteorologist Nicole Mitchell said Monday that her contract was not renewed in 2010 because the Weather Channel’s management didn’t want to deal with the time she took off to serve in the Air Force Reserves, where she is a captain and “Hurricane Hunter.” While the channel’s former management, Norfolk, Va.-based Landmark Communications, embraced her role in the military, featuring her weather-related duties on the air, she said that started to change when the Weather Channel...

If you haven’t had your fill of global warming alarm, there could be even more coming to the Internet. Dr. Heidi Cullen, The Weather Channel’s “climate expert,” according to Weather.com, and host of “Forecast Earth,” was a panelist at the forum “Covering a Changing Climate: The Media Challenge” held at Harvard University in Boston, Mass., on April 30. She told the audience she was looking to use the Internet – primarily Weather.com and Google Earth – to add visual elements to her message. “[I] split my time between The Weather Channel and this think tank in Princeton and one of...

The Arctic pattern is likely to relax next week, but even average cold would keep us within striking distance of a record cold month.......A reloading of the Arctic air mass could seal the record cold February..... For the second consecutive Tuesday, I am writing a column for Wednesday's newspaper as a potential winter storm is approaching Southwest Virginia. And just as with last week's Alberta clipper snowfall, I don't know what the final result will be as I write this. Look out your window and find out. There will probably be many different outcomes at different locations within our circulation...

Is this about money and grants: The Weather Channel’s most prominent climatologist Heidi Cullen is advocating that broadcast meteorologists be stripped of their scientific certification if they express skepticism about predictions of manmade catastrophic global warming. Scott Pelley, CBS News 60 Minutes correspondent, compared skeptics of global warming to “Holocaust deniers” and former Vice President turned foreign lobbyist Al Gore has repeatedly referred to skeptics as “global warming deniers.” James Spann, an operational meteorology since 1978, takes on Heidi Cullen, who hosts the weekly global warming program “The Climate Code,” is advocating that the American Meteorological Society (AMS) revoke their...

I wrote a post recently that has generated some pretty strong reaction and I wanted to take a moment to stop the spin. I am a scientist. And I'm a skeptic. AND after more than a century of research -- based on healthy skepticism -- scientists have learned something very important about our planet. It's warming up -- glaciers are melting, sea level is rising and the weather is changing. The primary explanation for this warming is the carbon dioxide released from -- among other things -- the burning of fossil fuels. With that knowledge comes responsibility. Here at The...

Weather Channel adopts breezier feel Aim to win new viewers, keep the old Scott Leith - Staff Yes, the Weather Channel can actually get squarer. But that's just the new logo. Beginning Monday, the Atlanta-based king of cable weather will unveil a boxy logo to replace its existing symbol, a well-known but dated badge that has barely changed since the network was founded in 1982. Channel devotees will notice more substantial chages as the year goes on. The Weather Channel, known for years by its staid style and endearingly nerdy approach, is moving to the next step in its evolution...

A storm of controversy has engulfed The Weather Channel, after a 40-something former anchor accused network brass of washing her out of a high-ranking job to make way for a hot front of sexy young weatherwomen. Marny Stanier Midkiff, 42, this week filed a lawsuit claiming she was booted in the fall of 2003 as part of a reputed "reorganization" of the storm channel, which she believes was really an excuse to get more young female weathercasters on the air.
