Despite the fact that the source of the threatening messages was pinpointed, Gloninger said he had difficulty refocusing on his job.

Gloninger arrived in Iowa’s state capital after stops at TV stations in Rochester, NY, Albany, NY, Milwaukee and Boston.

Just as he had done at his prior post at NBC 10 Boston, he noted how climate change was affecting the local weather in Des Moines — using material prepared by George Mason Univesrsity professor Ed Maibach.

Maibach was the subject of a profile by Washingtonian magazine because of his “Climate Matters” initiative, which promotes “data-driven climate reporting” that is used by “media partners” nationwide to “tell science-based stories about how climate change impacts local communities.”

“When I was in Boston, [I] was preaching to the choir,” Gloninger told Washingtonian.

We don’t need him to “know which way the wind blows.”

Seems normal for Iowa? The weather is unusually cool here in NC. Usually it’ll hit 90s by now.

Makes George Carlin’s hippie dippy weatherman look sane.

“Just as he had done at his prior post at NBC 10 Boston...”

I think I see the problem. Dorothy, you’re not in Boston anymore.

I send my local news tweets all the time condemning biased leftist coverage. Maybe some day I’ll be a successful “influencer”. :)

Contrary to that, an Oregon governor fired the state meteorologist for not believing the hoax.

Once they got him out of the way it was full fraud ahead in Oregon.

I listen to this guy (he’s in my area) and was surprised hear him deliberately weave his climate change opinions into the weather .
I’m thinking, dude just give the weather .
Leave the indoctrination out of it.
I guess others felt the same way and went a bit too far ( or at least one person did) in their response to him.
But then I think PTSD?
Man up dude, grow some balls. You have PTSD just because a couple of people were mean to you?

Rochester is a #77 market and Albany, where I watch is #59. In other words, we don't exactly draw much "talent".

I’m sure Biden’s Climate Czar John Kerry, his fellow Bostonian and comrade in communism, will be in contact soon to offer him a position where he can turn his PTSD into authoritarian power and wield it on the populace.

As soon as they add the line: ‘Caused by climate change”, you know they are incompetent idiots.

He couldn’t just be a a weatherman. No. Gotta be a climate man, too. Can he just say whether tomorrow the picnic is on or off? Never mind all that. Climate change!
