Mr. Sather pressed on, telling Mr. Gloninger that the station had intentionally avoided the term “climate change” to avoid alienating viewers. Instead, it called a series about extreme weather “Forecasting Our Future.”
“When we talk about ‘Forecasting Our Future’, we have impact on people who would have shut down had we spoken about it in a different way,” Mr. Sather said. -

Mr. Sather reprimanded Mr. Gloninger for his tone in responding to some viewers, and said he’d violated company policy in telling Mr. Dutton that he’d been asked to talk less about climate change. At the heart of the station’s concerns was how much Mr. Gloninger talked about global warming on air. Mr. Sather said some viewers felt Mr. Gloninger seemed preachy, and also that climate change didn’t belong in every weather forecast.
