There is no doubt in my mind that The Climate Code (and the Dr. Heidi Cullen-hosted episodes of Forecast Earth) is the least interesting show for me to sit down and watch.  It Could Happen Tomorrow has gotten really redundant.

I don't have a personal issue with Dr. Cullen, but I'm getting tired of the constant force feed of the global warming issue, too.  I know we have to take better care of the environment, but I think the focus should be on getting industry that contribute to the problem to be a part of the solution.

I agree with you 100%. :thumbsup: It's really getting annoying with all this global warming stuff. I do believe in global warming, but do we really need it shoved up in our faces every day? :rolleyes:

The activists' intentions of spreading global warming awareness is all well and good, but scare tactics and overkill might turn some people off.  We don't want to see global warming become just another bandwagon trend and then fade away after overexposure by the media.

Part of the problem is The Weather Channel doing a bit too much talk on global warming right now instead of an occasional feature story periodically.  It seems like every single day it is brought up as often as everyday weather forecasts.

I think the problem is that TWC has decided that this is how it stands on the global warming issue, and so its going to push its viewpoints. Personally, I liked TWC much better when it was unobjective.

Anything Heidi Cullen touches becomes a disgrace to TWC. I miss the Weather Channel that showed weather, not atmospheric changes. Nothing seems very organized now. I remember the daytime segments of Weather Center...Weather Center at :00, TravelWise at :10, Weekly Planner at :20, Weather Center at :30, Weekly Planner at :40, and Storm Watch at :50. Now, it seems more "fly by night" than ever. Will things change? That remains to be seen.

I agree with you. Things now are a far cry from the way they used to be.

Yeah, I'm tored of Dr. Heidi Cullen and her climate change crap. OK It's happening. Big Deal. I used to miss the old TWC that show weather information and severe weather alerts.

I watched the :00 Weather Center segment today, and tried to compare mentally this segment and how it differs with what my "glory days" of the Weather Channel. ('98-'01 or '02) I noticed they actually talked weather for a full six minutes, no global warming or anything in there. They split it into three segments: Northeast, Southeast, and Mid-West, leaving out the West. (something I never recall occurring in the aforementioned era) However, I was impressed that they do indeed show weather during the day.

The opener and music, however, is horrible.

I disagree. I like the opener, and how it flows with the music. It is one of the few openers that TWC uses where it actually flows well with the music. As far as the music, I like it too, but TWC has had better music than this, no doubt about it. :yes:
