Weather Channel's Forecast Earth axed!

We all know that NBC is a beehive full of liberal, green bumbles. MSNBC has been coloring its logo green in recently, and NBC's Weather Channel has long been a vocal believer in manmade climate change, from Dr. Heidi Cullen's "Climate Code" to the most recent "Forecast Earth." And all this over the fervid protests of the Weather Channel's founder, John Coleman, who is a huge global warming skeptic and detractor.

Funny thing happened. Global warming went poof! Economy went poof! Alarmism must now go poof! The Weather Channel nixes "Forecast Earth" and most of its staff, possibly even Natalie Allen and Heidi Cullen too.

This is just too delicious. Looks like some folks didn't salvage their reputations quickly enough. Bring on the cold.

NBC Fires Weather Channel Environmental Unit - Capital Weather Gang:

NBC Universal made the first of potentially several rounds of staffing cuts at The Weather Channel (TWC) on Wednesday, axing the entire staff of the "Forecast Earth" environmental program during the middle of NBC's "Green Week," as well as several on-camera meteorologists. The layoffs totaled about 10 percent of the workforce, and are among the first major changes made since NBC completed its purchase of the venerable weather network in September.

The timing of the Forecast Earth cancellation was ironic, since it came in the middle of NBC's "Green Week," during which the network has been touting its environmental coverage across all of its platforms. Forecast Earth normally aired on weekends, but its presumed last episode was shown on a weekday due to the environmentally-oriented week.

Forecast Earth was hosted by former CNN anchor Natalie Allen, with contributions from climate expert Heidi Cullen. It was the sole program on TWC that focused on global climate change, which raises the question of whether the station will still report on the subject. Cullen's future role at the network is not known.

Dr. Richard Lindzen, Julian Morris debate Bill Nye, Heidi Cullen

This was on CNN two years ago, before we had the precipitous drop in the global mean temperature by 0.7 degrees this past winter, which caused alarmist scientists to invent "climate revisionism"--proclaiming that we'll have 10-20 years of cool temperatures caused by La Nina, which they say will "mask global warming." (LOL!)

Note all the images that CNN chooses to show behind the debaters: polar bears, floods, etc. Same old hysterical, fear-mongering crap - different day!

Dr. Richard Lindzen is an Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Atmospheric Science at MIT and an "outlier" scientist (as Gore calls him for his disbelief in global warming), and Bill Nye...we'll he's "The Science Guy"--how could one question such credentials? Julian Morris is obviously one of those pesky, skeptical Britons who are making the alarmists very angry.

Watch this and remember that this was two years ago (and one year before we had the record breaking winter of 2007-08). Let's see--MIT professor or Bill Nye and Heidi Cullen? Yep, I believe the MIT professor. Remember Galileo! The maverick in science is often correct--not the "consensus."

Cullen mentions the IPCC (as all alarmists do) and "consensus," but is she aware that Dr. Lindzen was on the freakin' IPCC? Lindzen has consistently stated that the IPCC's real position on AGW has been warped by political hacks.

I used to like Bill Nye in my younger days; now I realize that he's susceptible to brainwashing and politics like everyone else. Heidi Cullen? Why didn't Larry King ask her about her desire to revoke professional credentials to all meteorologists who "deny" manmade global warming? Also, note all the images that CNN chooses to show behind the debaters: polar bears, floods, etc. Same old hysterical, fear-mongering crap! It's easy to tell from those images and Larry King's tone what CNN et al think about Dr. Lindzen and Julian Morris. It's the same story with most other media outlets, sadly.

Here are the notes from mdhenshaw's youtube page:
Richard Lindzen was on Larry King Live a few nights ago discussing Global Warming with a panel of experts that included Bill Nye the Science Guy. A TV personality and former sketch comedy member against an atmospheric physicist and a professor of meteorology at MIT. Julian Morris and Lindzen make excellent points for which the alarmists have no answer. It's the same old song and dance, they always mention the "consensus" and the IPCC report.

Coleman: Where is "global warming," Mr. Gore?

A few weeks ago, John Coleman, founder of the Weather Channel (where Heidi Cullen currently spews her stupid, worthless environmental propaganda), was seen in the news saying that Al Gore should be sued for fraud. This article was largely ignored (as expected) by the mainstream press. Because he's so very right, and the media can't allow their little myth to evaporate so easily.

Mr. Coleman recently spoke to the San Diego Chamber of Commerce on the subject of the global warming cult, and he made some terrific observations. Please read his post, and you'll probably find like him and me--it should be laughable, but it really isn't: schmiberals need a way to clandestinely bring back Marxism!

KUSI - San Diego, CA:

Well, it is simply not happening. Worldwide there was a significant natural warming trend in the 1980’s and 1990’s as a Solar cycle peaked with lots of sunspots and solar flares. That ended in 1998 and now the Sun has gone quiet with fewer and fewer Sun spots, and the global temperatures have gone into decline. Earth has cooled for almost ten straight years. So, I ask Al Gore, where’s the global warming?

The cooling trend is so strong that recently the head of the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change had to acknowledge it. He speculated that nature has temporarily overwhelmed mankind’s warming and it may be ten years or so before the warming returns. Oh, really. We are supposed to be in a panic about man-made global warming and the whole thing takes a ten year break because of the lack of Sun spots. If this weren’t so serious, it would be laughable.
