I believe the point is that he has the education required to be able to do the workup for weather predictions.
Many of the people doing the weather these days, are merely readers. They have no educational background. They read the forecast put together for regions or localities by others.
We’ve had some very popular ones in our city. They didn’t know a thing about what they were talking about, concerning the weather. You could get up there and do the same job. Anyone that could read and talk and not fall down, could.
I don’t fault his education. I fault him for being too stupid to realize the man made global warming issue was a hoax.
Of course he’s going to get accolades for towing the party line. (essentially)
“I believe the point is that he has the education required to be able to do the workup for weather predictions.”
Perhaps, but these days he could be replaced by a free app.
