I enjoy his book greatly. I saw him speak during one of the PBS fund raising marathons, he's well spoken too. Good answers to the questions. thank you for the link to his blog. More Cliff !!

we did a gift exchange at xmas this year and I had his book in my hands until my niece swiped it from me in a surprise last second move. but I was happy she showed even a remote interest in something thought provoking. he updated his entry tonight describing a visit from King 5 to discuss the "extreme" summer we are having. he found it very ironic.

Sign the petition if you think Cliff Mass should be rehired at KUOW. They don't need that many more to reach their goal of 5000. http://www.petitionbuzz.com/petitions/cliffmassonkuow Facebookies can "like" his new page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Put-Cliff-Mass-back-on-KUOW/149155005153152

Cliff Mass is awesome. On his blog he takes on the sheer idiocy and irrationality of the new math curriculum, and then over some teapot tempest some folks dump him. I hope he makes it back.

Funny I had Cliff Mass as a professor for an Atmospheric Sciences 101 class in the vast Kane Hall at the UW around 30 years ago...

If I hired a guy to talk about the weather, because that is what he is an expert in, and that's what I want from his show, then he talks about all kinds of other non-weather things, and he ignored repeated requests to knock it off, I'd fire him, too. That said, I like Cliff Mass and I'd like to see him back on the air. But I wouldn't sign a petition with the ludicrous request that the person who fired him be "investigated". Nor one that in essence says the radio station cannot have any say in what they air on their station. That is "dreamland" nonsense.

I was curious as to what he was saying that was so controversial - well its here and after reading that and watching the recommended Youtube video I'm not sure that I really agree with him. Correlation doesn't mean causation. I doubt that kids can read an analog clock today with the speed and accuracy of yesteryear but I wouldn't put the blame for that at the feet of Washington public schools. Climate scientists hate it when experts in other fields chime in with an opinion on global warming. It is that unreasonable that professional educations bristle at attacks on their curriculum coming from a climate scientist?

Well KUOW is owned by the U of W home of the U of W School of Education. Just like if you were employed by the Seattle Times to write weather forecasts and spent part of your forecast to criticize repealing the Estate Tax. Some employers might take that but not many. Usually ya hafta dance with the one who brought ya.

Good point, MG. I like the drift, and I like Cliff, but I'm not the boss. I'm just saying that if an employee doesn't do what the boss wants, the boss may pull the plug. If Cliff didn't want to do what they wanted, he should have quit himself. I have quit jobs myself because they wanted me to do something I wasn't comfortable with. And it's not like Cliff needed this job to keep body and soul together. This was a sideline for him.
