Of course this is only my opinion, but the only thing I really like about the current Weather Center graphics is they match the primary bar used over the maps. (At the top of the screen, IE "Doppler Radar" and its corresponding key)

IMO, TWC's...general take (if you will) on weather is good. It's just their presentation that really turns me (and i'm sure other people) away. By presentation, I mean graphics, music, "shows", and other small things. just tweak those, and its back to the golden age.

I agree. They've (in my opinion) really dumbed their presentation down. I enjoyed it much better when they used to show the more sophisticated info, like the jetstream map for instance.

I can agree with that.

little off topic...at WGN Chicago, Tom Skilling is VERY sophisticated in his presentation and details, but his forecasts are always wrong. :lol:
My parents have given him the nickname "Skillet Head"

Sophistication means nothing if you can't get it right.  :D

Okay, Global Warming is happining, we know it, nothing we can really do about it.

Heidi needs to leave TWC whatsoever, i never watch her show anyway.

I liked TWC best 96-02 and the March 98 - 01 openers were the best openers of LOT8's. I kinda like the

new Storm Stories opener (well, for recent openers!!!)

Everything flowed together with my comment of how The Weather Channel has changed quite a bit.

If Forecast Earth preempts any hurricane coverage later this year, I'm done. Of course, that's assuming a tropical system develops and threatens the US.

No scientist can be sure of how the earth was thousands of years ago. Claims of warming at a pace faster than normal doesn't hold any value unless you have precise data from the very early years of the earth. Of course, that is humanly impossible. Truly, only God knows precisely what the earth was like long ago. Of course, if you don't believe, that statement holds no value either.

Thus, this may be a completely natural process...meaning there's little if anything humans can do to reverse the warming.

Yes, this is mainly natural, There MAY be a way to SLOW it down, but nothing really that impressive.

I wish there was an "All the above" button, but if I have to choose, it's CThe Climate Code/Forecast Earth.

TWC should be called the Global Warming crap channel. Boy I miss the old days, even if I was a baby back in the 90s.
