Weather Channel Founder is a Climate Change Denier

We live in a galaxy that is about one hundred thousand light-years across and is slowly rotating; the stars in its spiral arms orbit around its center about once every several hundred million years. Our sun is just an ordinary, average-sized, yellow star, near the inner edge of one of the spiral arms. We have come a long way since Aristotle and Ptolemy, when we thought that the earth was the center of the universe ! Stephen W. Hawking, A Brief History of Time. From the Big Bang to Black Holes.
"...during the three weeks period before the election when three of the four major conservative commentators - Charles Krauthhammer, Jonah Goldberg and George Will - raised their voices in unison objecting to the scientific findings concerning global warming. They, of course, are all on the payroll of the Rupert Murdoch-owned Fox News, and perhaps it was simply a coincidence that it came shortly after a similar push by the Murdoch papers in England." Tom Anderson, Hartford Courant 1/2/2015

The Weather Channel used to have an environmental reporting team, including a weekly show called 'Forecast Earth' that focused on climate change - but they were all laid off as one of NBC's first cost-cutting moves after purchasing the channel. (Washington Post, 11/21/08)
So, guess what: NBC just bought the Weather Underground. Hmmm. (7/4/2012)
CBS's Anti-Science Weather Expert 'Severe weather consultant' David Bernard is climate-change denier.
"Many major media outlets are controlled by companies that have a vested interest in keeping environmental disasters under wraps: NBC is owned by General Electric, the world's biggest polluter, with a world record 86 Superfund sites. Until three years ago, CBS was owned by Westinghouse, which has 39 Superfund sites. Westinghouse is also the world's largest owner of nuclear power plants and the third-largest manufacturer of nuclear weapons." Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.: Crimes Against Nature pg 179 (2004)
