NEW YORK — The Weather Channel is moving beyond cold fronts and heat waves to wade into the politics of climate change, with a special planned for early next month that includes interviews with nine presidential candidates on the topic.

The campaign’s most prominent climate change skeptic — President Donald Trump — declined an invitation to participate. [snip]

I happened to catch the segment on TWC today.

Atrocious one-sided radical left-wing infomercial of the democrat frontrunners. Shameful. Well, I used to like, Ice Road Truckers. No more. Sorry, Jamie.

You can't even watch the weather, without politics being inserted. Fortunately, there are other great sources to get my weather info.

Climate isn’t about the weather. Or so I’ve been told. Maybe there should be a Climate Channel for the hoax deniers.

Will Climate Deniers get tattoos when they’re sent to the re-education camps?

Jerry Seinfeld said it best: "If a 7 day forecast was worth anything, you'd only need one every 7 days."

And these yahoos think they can predict the weather 100 years out?

Let's, for the sake of argument, concede that humans are changing the climate. (they aren't, but work with me)

So, 100% of our activities are causing catastrophic climate change. What percent of our efforts can counter this? 10% ? Laugh out loud. We couldn't marshal that kind of effort on our best day. I mean, counter all the fires, autos, factories, polluters. Sure. 10% is a pipe dream. So if you can marshal 10% effort, you just move 12 years to 13.2 years. What a joke.

from the article posted:

“The Weather Channel wanted to do the special through its own scientific lens, said Nora Zimmett, the network’s senior vice president for content and programming. Although other networks inquired about joining and doing a town hall-style event, TWC turned them down.”

however, they didn’t object to teaming up with the outfit that was the first to publish stuff about Steele’s Clinton/DNC-funded fake Russian dossier!

4 Nov: MotherJones: Why We Teamed Up With the Weather Channel to Bring You a Different Kind of 2020 Climate Debate
The program, a partnership with the Climate Desk, will air Thursday night at 8:00 pm.
by Rebecca Leber
In April, we were the first media outlet to write about the possibility of a debate on climate change...

It got us thinking how Mother Jones and The Climate Desk, a collaboration of 18 national and regional outlets, could focus the conversation around the climate crisis. As it turns out, our partners at The Weather Channel also had been wondering the same thing...

Ignore the oceans
Ignore volcanos
Ignore the forests
Ignore all other life forms on earth
Ignore the previous warm and cold periods in earth’s history
Especially Ignore the giant nuclear reactor in the sky called the Sun.

YOU are the cause of the climate changing.

Only if they're foolish enough to be sent. When the left starts sending people to re-education camps then sane people have found a hill to die on. And they damn well better do it.

Remember the hole in the ozone layer? That was caused by our use of hairspray.
