On Wednesday, the Weather Channel launched a dramatic campaign it says is intended to help shift the climate change conversation from science to solutions.
The series of short videos, called Climate 25, is surprisingly political for a venue like the Weather Channel, and most are aimed at making the case for urgent action from a conservative, Republican angle. Among the featured speakers are U.S. Army Gen. Charles H. Jacoby (Ret.); Henry Paulson, a former CEO of Goldman Sachs who served as secretary of the treasury under President George W. Bush from 2006 to 2009; and Paul Polman, the CEO of Unilever. At one point, Christine Todd Whitman, the EPA administrator under George W. Bush, addresses Republicans directly, saying, Its our issue.

I asked the Weather Channel president, David Clark, about the apparent shift toward explicitly engaging conservatives. We felt that we needed to give a stage to some of the more courageous voices on the right, he said, despite the fact that we are not policy experts; we are scientists.
The Weather Channels TV audience skews older and more conservative than the general public, and thats exactly the people who are most resistant to taking action on climate change, per recent polling data. (Prospectors, a Weather Channel reality show about looking for gold and gems in the Rocky Mountains, was among Republicans most beloved in 2014.) With Climate 25, the Weather Channel made a conscious decision to confront these viewers head on, using voices the channels executives thought would be relatable.

In keeping with the often apocalyptic tone of the Weather Channels website, most of the messages are framed with bold phrases, like this is the beginning of real trouble in our world and the status quo is long gone.

One word. Hubble.
BS
ABC said Manhattan would be underwater in June 2015.
I’d say “nothing” worked as a solution.
IIRC, The man who created The Weather Channel said that Global Warming is a fraud.
Solutions:
1. Give up all freedom
2. Live in communist paradise
3. Send all your income to fedgov and live on the few crumbs that Lord Obama graciously decides you deserve
Shifting away from the science because the science isn't working out for them.
Money grubbing sellouts.
More propaganda from the climate “weepers.” Maybe we should send them to the drought stricken areas so they serve some purpose for humanity. Their tears might solve the water shortage.

The weather channel has been useless for at least a decade. There are plenty of websites where a video of recent radar can be called up in seconds.
And then Jen Carfagno:
Stephanie may be a nice girl, but compared to these two she looks like Mr. Ed.
Yeah, and ABC News had a television special ten years ago saying New York would be underwater by June 2015.
Too bad he has retired, leaving the reigns to a bunch of useful RAT idiots.
-—Henry Paulson, a former CEO of Goldman Sachs
Yeah, Im going to listen carefully to the tarpmeister. Hey Hank get lost.
