Basically the TV Weather people continue the drama mainly for job security, I can't blame them at all. The reality is 90% of the time they could wrap up a forecast easily within 2-3 minutes by simply saying..... Same as yesterday & will be same for the rest of the week.
Meanwhile the " Traffic " person atleast has kind of job security although on some stations one of the TV Anchors typically does the Traffic.
Why these TV stations employ so many " Meteorologist's " is a Mystery, plus what on earth do they do all day ? 99% of them are men.

i'll settle for 1%.

The problem with making predictions that won’t occur for more than 100 years is that there is no left to challenge them.

That prediction may end up true unless the world starts buying more Electric vehicles. Miami is having high tide problems today as are other coastal cities in the US.

You sound so disappointed the hurricane didn't hit Florida when the forecasters were pointing out all the possibilities for landlubbers and sea going vessels. Sorry you were disappointed.

And again, for the ten millionth time, in 50,000 years all of our coastal cities will be under water. BUT IT HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH HUMAN ACTIVITY AND YOU CAN'T STOP IT BY BUYING AN EV!

The "global warming" that the media and other acolytes are trying to shove down our throats began 20,000 years ago, long before the burning of fossil fuels. And that was about the 9th or 10th time the cycle of glaciation and interglacial thaws caused by the power of the sun, Earth's orbit and the precession of Earth's axis has occurred over the past 4.5 million years. A little knowledge of paleoclimatology goes a long way to dispel the false narrative that the powers that be want the gullible and uninformed to believe. If they have their way, the world would spend $168 TRILLION on this nonsense----and I'm sure nobody on TOTV will get a penny of that windfall.

This is a masterful blend of fact and fiction. I agree with every sentence...except the second one.

What I understand is that some people need to feel they can DO something, be in control, feel empowered, look desperately for what they can blame, how they can change it and try to get everyone else involved in their “vision” - feeling helpless and a victim of events doesn’t feel good. Sometimes intervention works, we have accomplished a lot through progress. However, we cannot change the climate even if we can make infinitely small inroads. People who are looking into science to do it, are looking in the wrong direction.

In a recent study, 68% of the Chief Meteorologists on television were male and 32% of the Chief Meteorologists on television were female. It does not appear to be a field that attracts transgenders.

I am sorry that you feel that way. Maybe when we both die we can see who was correct and we can go to the Angel Bar and toast the correct person. Here on the Earth, I am NOT likely to change MY opinion - no matter how many capital letters get thrown at me. You know the old saying - sticks and stones and capitalized sentences and Paleomishmashbigwords won't make me change my mind. I will continue to believe currently available SCIENCE, which I understand is obviously an evolving process, but at this current fixed point in time states that Climate Change is caused by the large growth of Earth's population in the last 30 years. This means that too much CO2 and Methane are being produced by about 2 primary sources - automobiles and factories. The UN and all other 1st world countries even the US understand those causing factors. The proof is in comparing the graphs for Global HEAT, global population, and CO2 and methane production in the last 50 years. Glaciers are receding and coral reefs are dying around the world. Hurricanes are intensifying. The rise in the Atlantic ocean is causing the US Navy Station Norfolk to react to Global Warming. Since the US Navy believes in Global Warming perhaps some of our local experts should tell them how wrong they are. I have to wonder why someone would question US Naval intelligence?

That was a long read, but it was WELL worth the time.

I wasn't really looking for a debate. I was simply explaining why I'm right and you're wrong

I'm going to follow the facts. 5 ice ages occurred before the appearance of the first internal combustion engine which arrived 165 years ago and not mass produced for another 40? Yet i'm supposed to believe there's a direct effect? In alaska there are eskimos who will sell and ship you a case of snowballs.

Not seeing the logic here. Man's activities have sped up the oncoming of global warming with their pollution. The facts are pretty much there. The ice ages and the like are a separate chain of events. They have little connection to anything done by man. I doubt if some mastodon and early man fires contributed much to the coming of the last ice age. Dinosaur farts are probably another matter though.
