Erick Adame on the news as a meteorologist, Erick Adame 2020 Reel (Screenshot/Public/YouTube/ErickAdame2020ReelUpdate) Two-time Emmy nominee Erick Adame took to Instagram to notify fans that he was fired after his employer discovered he appeared on an adult webcam site and took part in openly gay content. “I have recently been terminated from my job as the meteorologist at Spectrum News NYI1 in NYC. I am taking this opportunity to share my truth rather than let others control the narrative of my life,” Adame wrote on his Instagram page Monday. “Despite being a public figure and being on television in the...

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...

Less than a year ago, ABC's fear-mongering Sam Champion was discouraging people from moving to Florida because of the supposed danger of disastrous sea-level rises due to global warming. Maybe Sam was on to something—but for the diametrically opposite reason . . . Check out the Weather Channel's forecast for "Frostproof, Florida" for tonight: 22 degrees—a full 10 degrees below freezing level. Yikes! Maybe it's a mistake to move to Florida because the climate is . . . just too darn cold.

ABC Intern: Um, Mr. Champion, it's the head of the Florida Chamber of Commerce on the line for you, and he, uh, doesn't sound too happy. Sam Champion: Tell him to go soak his head. That apocryphal bit of dialogue might not be too far off the mark. On today's GMA Champion warned Americans that "if you're thinking about retiring to Florida, think twice." The ABC meteorologist made his dire suggestion in the course of announcing the Obama administration's issuance of a report on the impact of climate change on the United States, which seems to cast matters in worst-case...

Mother Nature must have a wicked sense of humor. She forced ABC's Sam Champion to report on anti-global warming initiative . . . . while standing in a field of snow in late April. Champion was there as part of Good Morning America's "Planet Earth 2007" segment, in which reporters chimed in from around the globe on various environmental initiatives. Diane Sawyer introduced the segment with a little bit of enviro-alarmist cheerleading, declaring it was "good news" that as per a recent Stanford poll 94% are ready to make a change to help the planet and that 73% are...

GMA's segment this morning on the big global warming confab in Paris was filled with predictably alarmist rhetoric. But one factoid slipped through the MSM filter that could put a chill on the "it's-all-man's-fault" view of the matter. First, the alarmism. Reporting from Paris, ABC weatherman Sam Champion informed us: "It's really kind of frightening stuff, the stuff that science fiction books and movies are made of. Melting ice, heat waves and even stronger storms.""Global warming is with us, and it's going to be with us for centuries.""It is the definitive report on global warming, and it's frightening."Champion ran...

<p>In the poker game of global warming alarmism, ABC saw NBC's "end of the world," and raised them billions of dead humans.</p> <p>Check out the screencap from this morning's Good Morning America. Not to scare you or anything - but billions might die!</p>
