The entire staff for the program "Forecast Earth", The Weather Channel's (TWC) environmental alarmist soapbox,
was let go due to budget cuts.
I can't help but chuckle. I feel bad these folks (amongst others at TWC) were let go but this is a bit funny. NBC, one of the paragons of green hypocrisy, what with their outdoor AC during the Olympics and the annual "Green Weeks" touting the joys of single-pad toilet paper use, s-cans the entire staff of an environmental show.
I know what your thinking. Did they let noted climate alarmist and Green acolyte Heidi Cullen go?
The article states her fate is unknown at this time. It would indeed be a bit of
karmic justice if indeed Ms. Cullen were s-canned.
Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony. These alarmists finally get a big dose of reality. When faced with the real problems of money, budgets and maintaining a healthy bottom line, the "environmental concerns" of a few alarmists take a back seat and ultimately count for...nothing. At least in this instance, reality does indeed trump extremism.
