The upcoming launch of a new weather channel run by Fox News Media has some climate crisis experts deeply concerned, according to multiple reports.
The network, owned by media mogul Rupert Murdoch, announced in December 2020 that it would debut Fox Weather, a 24-hour channel devoted to all things meteorological, by the end of the year.
The channel promises "cutting-edge display technology" with "forecasting experts surrounding every major weather event," according to a press release.
The channel will be led by six meteorologists, including Jason Frazer, Britta Merwin, Craig Herrera, Brigit Mahoney, Nick Kosir, and Stephen Morgan, the New York Times reported. Shane Brown, a meteorologist from The Weather Channel, already defected to Fox last month.
As its debut date approaches, climate crisis experts are concerned that the network's weather arm will adopt the same rhetoric of its sister channel.
They say that Fox News has spent years undermining the idea of a man-made climate crisis with its biggest hosts, including Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham, repeatedly downplaying the global threat of the climate crisis.
A Public Citizen analysis in 2019 found that 86% of climate segments that aired on Fox News in 2018 included claims dismissing or casting doubt on the global threat.
"Fox News has access to and is highly trusted by a wide range of conservative Americans - which is precisely the audience that least well understands the serious threats that climate change poses to the safety, security, and health of all Americans," Edward Maibach, director of George Mason University's Center for Climate Change Communication, told the Guardian.

Great news.
Maybe they will cover the records colds we had, shrinking Sahara, comparative lack of hurricanes, and all the benefits of Co2 fertilizing.
I love to see liberals squirming. Does my heart good. Screw them.
I wish they would hire Joe Bastardi.
The “climate crisis” doomsayers predictions have been wrong since before they were predicting an ice age in the 70’s! Any real reporter could do a multi hour series on climate predictions that have failed to materialize.

Their concern is troubling.
“I wish they would hire Joe Bastardi.”
Your kidding right? Total loser.
The leftist MANIA over anything Fox News continues. And Fox has one guy on the entire network that leans right, who many on the right don’t even like anymore.
Understands it's a scam created by third world countries trying to pick the pockets of rich nation's.
Joe Bastardi is my, “go to” weather guy! https://www.weatherbell.com is my weather forecast site.
“Edward Maibach, director of George Mason University’s Center for Climate Change Communication..”
Oh I trust this jagoff....his livelihood depends on perpetuating the hoax.
I was hoping for his name in the list of meteorologists.
A faux weather debate.
Note to Fox Corp: Fool me once, shame you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Joe Bastardi vs. Al Gore, Gretta Thunberg, and Michael Mann. I’d pay for that to be on Pay per View.
The Babylon Bee is sad to report that one of its planned satire pieces has been killed by reality beating it to the punch.
Every article I read or see on tv about Trump’s claims of the election being stolen includes adjectives resulting in “Trump’s baseless claims”, or similar garbage. None of his claims has been proven to be baseless, as not a single court has agreed to hear any of the evidence available.
It sickens me that a major election event can be stolen or even merely appear to be stolen based on increasingly valid evidence, while both the media and judiciary are so fearful of the repercussions that they refuse to honestly and openly investigate valid claims.
Such a lack of integrity only gives credence to those existing conspiracy theories, and only gives rise to the increasing growing number of new ones.
I’m in, I’d pay good money to watch that!
Hopefully they wont be the politicized drama queens that are on the weather channel.
And please, dont stand out in a hurricane to show how “ferocious” and “catastrophic” it is and then tell people dont do this.
