Indeed it 'tis, fighting fire with fire's always the best way to deal with fire. ;^)
I recall Coleman, in-fact wasn't he on the DVD (titled?) The Great Global Warming Scam?
The co-founder of Greenpeace also appeared on that DVD amoung several other very notable & respected climatology experts refuting this climate change bullshit and frankly they all looked & sounded rather pissed.
FBD do you recall a WC personality by the name of, Dr. John Nece (~or Niece)??
The guy was simply excellent, the very epitome of professional. One day the good Dr. simply disappeared, not to be seen again.
Care to venture a guess why Dr. Nece is no longer affiliated with the WC?
Personally I'd always felt privileged to be getting a forecast from a guy of this guy's class and caliber.
It'd come as no surprise to learn he told 'em *all* to pound sand, if that's why he left the WC. ;^)
On a side note we began calling the Weather Channel the Commercial Channel a couple years ago.
Commercials, it'd seem, are all one'll get when a forecast's really needed so the name stuck.
We noticed if and/or when we're getting seriously violent weather and turn to the WC to catch a radar what we get is, Storm Stories, When Weather Changed History or even more banal, Forecast Earth.
It's now beyond ridiculous, we here have repeatedly longed for the days when our TV satellite system's music channels carried live weather radars of various regions across the nation.
Live weather when WE want, how novel. :o)
Yea, the WC has long-lost its way alright & a serious Come to Jesus is long overdue.
...at the WC.
