I'm looking forward to Gardening Tips by Sean Spicer where he talks about the best footwear for trimming your shrubs.

Today's smog report brought to you by the Friends of Coal.

This thread is turning gold. Keep the production ideas and potential weather stories a'comin'! :laughing:

Blatantly apparent climate change will make weather media absolutely unbearable for the conservatards.

Sadly, Fox can pull lazy causations out of their rotting anal cavity and their festering brood will lap it up and beg for more.

There is no shortage of sources for accurate weather data. Fox is trying to mimic the effect South Korean weather updates have when supplied (along with the normal messages) to people stuck in North Korea. Being accurate about the weather is supposed to lend credibility to the rest of the message.

Another desperate tactic to put their credibility in the black instead of just doing journalism. Propagandists are given orders though, not free reigns. We have every reason to believe there will be a republican slant to the reporting. Lying by omission could be as common place as it is on Noise, but I guess we'll see.

They spent more than a year saying covid-19 was fake and no worse than the flu.

Do we really want years of misinformation that there's no heat waves due to climate change.. its just fine.. pleasant 72 degrees here in my studio and in your home. Don't whine!

It is going to be truly interesting to watch as right wingers change to arguing against the weather right outside. Will be curious how that will go, will they just start staying inside while claiming the weather has nothing to do with it, or will they go out in more severe weather in order to claim its fine? Probably both. And of course they'll be the FEMA welfare queens.

I'm assuming Meghan McCain will be in the running, she likes to argue about things being different than they are, like how her neighborhood is a war zone while she's not even in the same state and hasn't been for weeks.

Eh, I'm pretty sure this is gonna have a lot more to do with climate change. When Dem's are in power they'll shriek about everything (wildfires, hurricanes, etc will all be Dems faults), but when Rubs are they'll show pics of Turmp throwing paper towels and claim he's singlehandedly saving Puerto Rico while they actually fuck things over. And they'll very likely make arguments against climate change. Also during heat waves they'll argue that Dems want people to go without A/C, or in the winter Dems want people to freeze to death.

This just in...latest reports from reliable anonymous sources tell us that Trump's border wall wasn't just to keep the brown people out of the US...it was meant to also block the Santa Ana winds from Mexico from coming north and raising the temperatures in OUR country!

No wonder the Democrats wanted to block the building of the wall at any cost! They LOVE global warming! RABBLERABBLE

Fox weather is reporting a storm system over the Midwest due to increased usage of hybrid and electric vehicles. They urge all coal rollers to start running them off the road in other to prevent a weather catastrophe made by fuel efficient cars on the road

local news channels maybe but fox news cable channel has no news, it's all opinion and I think their weather channel is going to be more of the same, I'd be surprised if it was otherwise.
I have noticed a big change in weather reporting on network news and affiliates very recently. Even a couple months ago there were little if any mention of the connection between weather extremes and the global warming crisis. Now, seeing that change a lot. They are putting 2 and 2 together. I'd expect any Fox "focus" on weather to skirt the issues. If they do it, they'll be deniers. Even silence on the issue is denial at this point.

Coming up next, Tucker Carlson has an opinion on the weather.

I don't get all the tattoo fascination, lovely without
I see so many, especially women, that the multiple tats, especially on their legs, seem so random and disconnected. Reminds me of the windows in the mini-van where the child seat occupants are allowed to stick stickers all over the windows.

Men may be doing the same thing, but since they expose much less skin as a rule, it's not as noticeable.

In case you needed more evidence tajbot is just here to troll......
He has proven that many times over... that's why he is on ignore... may I suggest others do the same. They feed solely on the fact they can get a rise out of people.


STOP FEEDING THESE FUCKING TROLLS!
