Sad to say but we Yanks have to go to the BBC to get half-way decent weather/climate news coverage. Has anyone watching a U.S. based commercial news service broadcast ever heard tell of the 1%C/4% moisture-in-the-air relationship? It was an American meteorologist who was interviewed, and he was excellent, but he’s nowhere on “our” stations. And has anyone enjoyed watching The Weather Channel - of all places - tying itself in knots trying to avoid discussing the human-influenced aspect of climate change/global warming? Comical if it wasn’t tragic. TWC much prefers heroic rescue operations coverage and “exciting” storm-of-the-century type entertainment to ever mentioning the unmentionable: Fossil Fuels. Thanks BBC. In America we get male and female hairdo model combos sitting at sleek desks in high fashion gear giving us 2 minutes on “the latest.” Well, there it is!
