Metinka Slater leaving KCCI?

Why are you watching it then?
Because I was watching Rehya in her tight fitting outfit, reading some sort of news that I didn’t give a crap about and then all of a sudden Dr. Doom is telling me I need to buy an electric car. Just tell me if it’s going to rain and get back to Rheya. But now she left too. She probably got fed up with Chris too.

i had to unfollow him on twitter b/c everything he put out told me the earth is going to basically explode next week.
 
He at least will probably soon leave just like all the rest of the out of state people they have recently hired.

I really hope you’re right, but part of me thinks he’s here for a while. Who else is going to hire that dude as the chief meteorologist at their station? I guess we can just hope that he misses home enough to take a lower level position.

Or she wanted to make change and start her own company…

And what way is that? Sorry you don’t agree with him doesn’t make you or him right. It’s ok to have different opinions.
He is a meteorologist not a climate scientist/activist. Occasional mentions of climate change isn’t an issue in that job. He is treating it like a climate activist who is moonlighting as a meteorologist though.

Agreed. Bringing it up occasionally helps bring awareness to it, but he discusses it enough that people eventually will tune him out (happened to me already).
 
We are using fossil fuels to mine lithium for electric cars. I think we are doing a great job helping the environment.
Just a note, fossils did not magically turn into trillions of barrels of crude oil under the surface. This planet manufactures hydrocarbons and will continue to do so for as long as it will be in existence. Hydrogen and carbon are the two most common molecules in the universe. We aren’t ever going to run out.

This isn't true at all. These fuels require specific conditions and take millions of years to form naturally and the vast majority of fossil fuels were created during specific periods hundreds of millions of years ago when those necessary conditions happened. Small quantities may still be created through natural processes, but in no way will it be replaced at a rate anywhere close to usage.
 
I don't love him either, and my wife and I sort of wonder when Kurtis Gertz retired and they announced Chris as new anchor of the 10:00pm news if Metinka sort of got passed over to be the weather anchor after so many years at KCCI, sounds like from her husband it was just time to move on and focus on family.
Not passed over at all. Couldn’t do the early mornings anymore and needed weekends available to travel for our son’s baseball. Just time to move on.
