The Weather Channel Is Not Holding Back When It Comes To Climate Change

And if you don’t care about it, they’ll convince you otherwise.

The Weather Channel has embarked on the intrepid mission of attempting to teach climate change deniers that they’re, well, wrong.

The fight against climate change has long been an arduous battle, but President Donald Trump made it even harder on Thursday, announcing that the United States would pull out of the Paris Agreement.

The Weather Channel completely revamped its homepage to answer all your burning (sorry!) questions about the havoc that climate change is wreaking on the world.

Here is their new home page...

Good Job! RESIST!

days throughout the winter, the weather forecasters on our New York stations are all excited about the "beautiful weather." It's NOT beautiful weather. It's unnatural and damaging and dangerous.

I think we should start calling them on this. I think we ought to complain and remind them that they have a professional obligation to report the weather accurately. They should be reporting about all the records that are being broken. They should be reporting on the CO2 levels and what they mean.

I'm done with this nonsense. I'm going to become their new best friend. They're going to be sick of hearing from me.

ETA: I just checked out the Weather Channel. Excellent!

Thanks for the idea Squinch and the link, sheshe2! In fact, watching the weather channel will be better than watching whatever talking head on MSM try to make sense of the BS that happened today.

They say flat out that it's the result of climate change. On the other hand, the newsers suck miles of bad rope. They're so bad, I'll watch a shopping network til the weather comes on.

We have gone from 91degrees to 45degrees in May! I open all the windows put in the fans and then close everything up and start wearing winter clothes again!

Yeah...Weather Channel has the Con front and forward. Most excellent.

RESIST!

Yet as far as we know, IBM CEO Ginni Rometty is still on Trump's business council. If she has any integrity or care for this planet we share, she should resign from Trump's panel of rubberstampers immediately

5 inches, in fact. Broken trees everywhere. Not normal. Yesterday was 90 degrees. Today we won't break 50. Not normal.

Yet very strange weather patterns. No, not normal any more than the president is.
