“The utterly mortifying results of this debate are what occur when an actual scientist with a degree in meteorology”
Being a weatherman does not necessarily make you a scientist nor does having a degree in meteorology. Our local stations “weather forecasters” all have meteorology degrees (likely Bachelors degrees) since they appear to be in their early 20s. Its a job requirement, not a profession.
You raise a good point. Neither of these guys has a post graduate degree in anything.
