He had been with AccuWeather for 32 years, helping to create the company that supplies radio and TV stations with weather forecasts and updates. Meteorologist Bastardi was AccuWeather's top long-range forecaster and was regularly seen handling hurricane predictions.
Now he has tendered his resignation, effective immediately. The company simply says that "Joe Bastardi is no longer with AccuWeather. You won't see more forecasts posted by him." Bastardi was known for his videos and forecasts on the pay-subscription "AccuWeather Pro" site.
He was also known for his disbelief of the theories of global warming. A Facebook page created by fans has a "Farewell to Joe Bastardi" page, with tributes pouring in that you can read here.
Why are you posting week old news?
=8-)
This is the first I’ve heard of this.
Didn’t know Davis had been replaced but then I’ve not watched the tube lately. Do you have any idea where she landed? Cute girl.
It’s not week old news to me, noob.
Same as Jym Ganahl here in Columbus. He too has debunked the global warming BS and is still the most trusted meteorologist in Central Ohio. WCMH-TV 4 (aka NBC 4 Columbus.)
Look at the noob’s history. Admonishing people who actually make contributions to the site is apparently its favorite pastime.
There is an article in the WP also:
Joe Bastardi resigns from AccuWeather
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/capitalweathergang/2011/02/joe_bastardi_resigns_from_accu.html
“He also frequently appeared as a weather and climate commentator on Fox News”
Let’s hope he will continue to appear on Fox News or that they will hire him full time.
Must have been forced out somehow. Why else? He was enemy #1 for the ClimateGate mafia.
Are you the posting police, noob? Your history is that of an anal retentive troll. It’s getting old.
I took it to the AM. The noob looks like a troll.
Btt
A very safe bet.
Why are you reading it...again?
;^ )
Aww... I’m sorry to hear that Joe is leaving AccuWeather. My husband and I are big fans of his. Maybe Fox News will hire him full time?
I heard he broke Michael Mann's hockey stick.
Dean is on maternity leave with her second child
Would be great to have Bastardi sign on with Fox
So THAT'S who's to blame!
Hey, Joe, couldn't ya have slipped in even a half-January Thaw?
And,please, I cannot pay my plowman one more time this season.
The cold and the piling up snow has been brutal.
32 years is long enough. He probably wanted to retire and enjoy life. People should do this more often. We always want politicians to do this. I mean McCain is in his 70’s and still working....ridiculous. He has plenty of money to enjoy what years he has left.
He may or may not be, but it sure sounds like you think you are. And I ain’t no “noob”.
“We all know what this was about.”
I don’t. So...what is this about?
I love Bastardi! Say it ain’t so, Joe!
