Weather: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) 

Warren 20/20 for big structural change 💙

That's pretty accurate. And even that tolerance is contentious at best.

@brmbly Better than nothing. You can't get anything better in this current political climate. Maybe it can start a movement.

Let me guess... It all Trump's fault.

@brmbly You're definitely right. But are there any other options right now? Corporations still hold a vastly influence and they aren't going to go away soon. We can only hope that Warren can be a change from the top down.

Good news. He's out of the picture. "Nov. 21, 2019 , 3:25 PM Barry Myers, the former CEO of AccuWeather Inc., withdrew late yesterday his hot-button nomination to lead the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and its 12,000 employees, citing health concerns. The full Senate never voted on President Donald Trump's embattled NOAA pick, even though a split Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee sent his nomination to the floor three times in party-line decisions."

Same.

As a storm chaser, I second this. It is infuriating that people wish to profit and make unavailable something that should be public. The fact some people are even TRYING to make it so you have to pay for something like, say, a tornado warning, is absolutely horrifying and deeply infuriating. Weather data and warnings should be FREE TO THE PUBLIC, END of discussion. That is NOT something that should be warped into something to be a profit off of. -_-

Danielle Whipple, you look like such a cute go getter nerd in that profile picture! Good career!👨🏻‍🏫 God Bless.

I'm amazed weather forcasters in Chicago don't just up and commit toaster bath

also basically me describing my age

@@Sonichero151 real question isnt Chicago in the mideast allso why dont people say mideast. us wars in the middle east what oh the foreign 1 lol idk but theres a joke in there somewhere

@@ridanann I know you're joking but I'm gonna mention for people out of the loop (and because I just like talking about it) that "Midwest" means the middle of the western hemisphere (where the Americas are along with the very western tips of Europe and Africa) and "Middle East" means the middle of the eastern hemisphere (where Asia, Oceania, and most of Africa and Europe are). But I should note and Midwest/Middle East refers only to the northern half of the hemisphere. So the Midwest ends up being the states roughly in the center of the US (including Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, and a few other surrounding states) and the Middle East ends up being where western Asia meets Africa (although realistically the center of the eastern hemisphere is further east, kind of around western China, but I think the people who named it thought the dividing line between the western and eastern hemisphere was in the Atlantic ocean when really it's slightly to the east of Spain and England).

_Ahhh hello comrades ;)_

Thats the saddest fact I've ever seen.

Well summarized. Take bottled water. In some places it's a necessity but in others it's the same thing you get from pipes but extra stale and full of microplastics.

John Oliver could make a video about "old wet newspaper lying on the sidewalk" and I would want to watch it, because I'm sure it would be amazing!

He is a "generational talent," as the saying goes. (And he could do a killer episode on Generational Talents.)

Update: more than 8 million (though if I'm any indicator, this does have something to do with the lockdown -- then again I'm only bingeing his shows because of his amazing covid-19 & protest coverage).

He is British, he probably spends half his life talking about the weather.

"Saturday morning cartoon villain" is an unnecessary long an complicated way of saying modern Republican.

It's so stupid. Both US and EU renew their supercomputers and weather satellites in long intervals. There's always somebody that has the better equipment over the another in some aspect. I think It's amazing these organisations freely exchange this data. EU has the 6x Copernicus satellites where the last one will be launched early next year. US will then renew Its own in +10 years.

Carewolf not really. Some Saturday morning cartoon villains are actually likable

"Oppression is my profession!"

@@dablet Problem is, lot of John's episodes also shed light on crazy things like this under Obama. It's not the president doing this, it's the system that's allowing it. And by shouting at Obama or Trump, that system is the only thing winning.

@@EpigTheEpicPig I was just gonna say this. I am unenviably going to have to say that not every calamity in America is Trump's fault. It's a fundamental foul-up of the system.

Why? That’s so weird… “Hey you! I don’t like you. Suck my finger!” Why? That doesn’t make any sense. “Hey you! I don’t like you. Sit on my finger!” Why? That doesn’t make any sense either. People are strange…

Elizabeth Lopez I’ve never liked Accuweather and I wasn’t sure why. Now I know.

Elizabeth Lopez You can use the website yr.no instead. It has all the data, including radar, windmaps and airpressure. Just select english in the top right corner. It should have all major cities in the world, or at least regions. Its free to use, paid by norweigian tax payers :)

same here, i paused to check if i was using Accuweather (i'm not), because, I've never really paid much attention to the 'who', i only cared about the 'what'

I only get my forecast from the NWS. My department got a teletype from NOAA one afternoon that said rain up to an inch a minute. We thought it was a typo. Who would predict THAT. 45 minutes later it rained an inch a minute. By the time the storm broke the upper tier of the beach was flooded. Porous sand with 4 inches of standing water. It was nuts, but it was accurate. I do wish they'd update their user interfaces again, though. I don't get teletypes anymore.

@@adde9506 Is it possible to dial into this teletype service, or is it a dedicated network?

You think you didn't? I fucking live in Pittsburgh!

Ironically I’ve never liked them and I didn’t really have a reason and now I’m like, hmm..I can always predict when something is bad and I guess I was right yet again.

Greedy scumbags...

Not sure what going on, but I know that the weather channel app keeps asking me to become a subscriber...it hasn't blocked all content yet, but im waiting

The disconnected nonchalance in which he said that gave me the creeps.

It was the fact that he even brought it up that gave me the creeps. If you know you could’ve saved a couple dozen people’s lives and you didn’t, why would you even mention it?

lolol

The word "Unfortunate" is way overused in our culture. Cop out, useless sentiment.

@@WildFyreful yeah, it feels like that guy is a sociopath...

Wtf is wrong with people

How can he really be less professional than Fast Food managers? Good on ya for not accepting his bs proposal.

It was the pitch for the Lorax movie.

It probably will be once they figure out a way to accurately measure how much air everyone's breathing

You don't need to buy the rights to air when you can profit by polluting the atmosphere and then by selling your clean branded air! Which now that I think of it explains pretty much every greedy corrupt capitalist scheme nowadays, they pollute the (re)public institutions to manufacture their own demand.

Oh no. The giant robot maid is going to follow, isn't it.

"Feels like 70 or feels like 19, I don't know" is the most accurate description of weather in the Midwest though, so I guess he's right.

So true! I was thinking the same thing!

@@RuleofFive I know right? It's seems like everywhere we turn we run into another "Gordon Gecko" or "Wolf of Wall Street" trying to take advantage of someone. However, good people can and will stop the greedy bad ones.

linux750 Bernie 2020!

@@RuleofFive I hope so, man. I certainly hope so.

Corporate greed is just people being people. The corporation is run by people. They make the decisions. There corporation isn't an entirely separate entity, and there are people who aren't involved in the decision to be greedy. Does your boss consult with you if the company wants to be greedy? No. It's the people at the top.

Project DJ Fuck, that’s actually a kinda upsetting to think about.

so not more small talk I guess...

Yeah, I didn't think it was possible...😨

Honestly, just the fact that there are so many climate change deniers out there has also been a big reason why the weather isn’t considered a ‘safe’ subject anymore. “Boy, there sure are a lot more hurricanes lately...” “No there aren’t! Climate change is a hoax!” “Dude, I didn’t even mention climate change!”

Did everyone forget the sharpie incident with Trump and Dorian? He forced the National Hurricane Center to make a statement saying he was right when he was clearly wrong. I’d gone back and checked the dated forecasts they listed themselves. Trump is now an expert on hurricanes and the cone of error🤦🏼‍♀️ I’m sure his buddy Barry Myers helped him out and let him know he totally wasn’t wrong, check out AccuWeather’s data!

Yeah baby!

gumballguy34 Shagadelic!

I hadn't reached that point in the video and now you've spoiled it for me...

"Things you thought were fine but are actually being completely undermined by [CAPITALISM].” True!

Who wants to be a middle-man (where none is necessary)?

Germany as well actually.

@@NordeGrasen34 Yup. German Weather Service (dwd / Deutscher Wetter Dienst) is offering an App which, after court ruling, can no longer be offered for free, since the App was ruled "unfair competition". Now only the hazard warnings remain free. The weather forecast part of the App is one-time payment only.

@@hmartinlb didn't know that...what BS. Reminds me how german public television put ALL their content online for free well befor amazon prime or Netflix was a big deal and private TV channels sued against it as they saw it as unfair competition.

Human greed*

It sure is sir😔really sad there.

Started out using the private sector weather companies for my weather but honestly I’m so over the bullshit memberships and “premium” features. Now I get my forecast for free directly from the source of the data and have found the models and data easier and more accurate than the weather channel. Especially with Florida weather being as unpredictable as it is. Hate the fact that one of the last few agencies in the government with the most passionate and historically unbiased scientists is being politicized by that idiot in the White House.

Just wait for the John Oliver Effect to take hold. Then people pay attention.

Jonathan Taylor I’m for the legalization of marijuana but fuck off!

Also that the news cycle goes too fast

In the 80' the world simply ended at the American coastline. Due to north there was that strange 'Not-the-US-but-they-speak-mostly-English-and-play-hockey' and to the south were 'Not-the-US-but-they-plow-and-harvest-our-fields'.

@@robertnett9793 I have no clue what you are talking about.

I didn't know that.

@@TheStevehuff I talk as an outsider looking in. But a few years back it seemed on one hand that US foreign policy was all over the world, while the majority of it's inhabitants (again speaking from an outside perspective) didn't have much of a clue what's going on outside their borders.

So Accuweather isn't even accurate?

It starts at the top with Trump currently, and once folks see he can get away with it, they figure they can, too. One look at his current and former cabinet post holders can confirm that.

@Jake Galler Some of them did. If you think "the problem existed before trump" is a rational dismissal of the problem, or a defense of intentionally making it worse, then you GTFO.

@Jake Galler "I know for a fact" How do you know that? "You think conflict of interest began with Trump?" Now I can't read minds, but I doubt he thinks this, as he used the word "currently" which indicates that he talks about the present which suggests that at other times there were also conflicts of interest, but back than it wasn't Trump putting corrupt people into office.

@Jake Galler "Not sure what that currently gibberish means" Ah than that explains how you didn't understand his comment. Currently means: "at the present time" So if he says something along the lines of [currently the conflict of interest starts from the top aka Trump appointing people who have a conflict of interest] then that means that at the present there are so many people in government with a conflict of interest cause Trump appoints people with a conflict of interest. I hope that helps. So he doesn't claim that Trump appointed Dick Cheney or somehow appointed people in the nixon administration as that would be pretty absurd as he wasn't in politics back that. (Btw the last part was brought to you by sarcasm. I know you didn't mean that but it is equally absurd as what you understood. He didn't write "conflict of interest started with trump" (as I guess that's what you somehow understood), but that [at the moment the conflict of interest is brought to you by Trump].

@Jake Galler"but people like you labeled them conspiracy theorists" You pretty much labeled yourself as stupid and blind at same time with this comment. What Tony R said, is "actually" on point. There arent many administrations in the US-history where you can say what he said with such certainity as with the actual administration. Stating this does by no means negate the fact, that a) corruption has always existed and b) people have always talked about corruption You in contrary are defending unspecified conspiracy theories which are (my assumption) unlikely to be favored here, but have never been part of any substantial critic of corruption, especially when we are talking about big corporations connected to the government. This was always the area of leftleaning critics (who, by the way, did talk alot about literally any case you mentioned). Who do you think was watching the daily show back then? Exactly, liberals and leftists or whoever is somewhat either one or other. And as for new and younger viewers, what do you expect from them? Go back in time and critisize someone? " I know for a fact you are schilling this thread" You barely know anything about him except his comment and his blank profile. If i would go around and "yell" at every commenter "hey, i said/knew that alrdy years ago!!", i d be yelling for weeks, but what gives? Worst case he ll get an upvote. Is that what makes you mad?

Network News needs those sweet 3D disaster hologram packages. Otherwise, its just the weather. Add 3D, similar to Hollywood obsession, and now it is the MF WEATHER!! :D

Comedy has always been more honest and topical than news. The "fool" can say what the town crier cannot.

@Denam ya they give Peabody's for "propaganda"... Let him eat his own tail, he is obviously trying and failing to compensate for his lacking.

@World Python lol ok so are you saying Trump did not appoint this man or there's no conflict of interest. I want to understand the part that you think is propaganda? Because it's public knowledge, you can actually get the info yourself. I'm genuinely curious about your thoughts...

That’s why we have been on 4g tech for longer then 3g

@@ONEIL311 There's a lot he can do actually. What Accuweather wants to do is put the NOAA weather models and radar data behind paywalls, so only the big private corporations like Weather Channel, cable networks like NBC and Fox and Accuweather can afford the data. Weather enthusiasts, storm chasers, scientists, and scholars will no longer have free and easy access to this data, which means you will put your trust in large corporations to provide an accurate and clear forecast (which won't happen because every company will create their own warning system and create trademarks and copyrights for their weather, and have to pay for the premium data plans they create. Having a central agency has provided us with the best access to weather data anywhere in the world, and without, that give citizens access to their offices, models, and storm chaser information and classes for budding meteorlogists.

@@coherentpanda7115 and all tax payers would still have to pay for the agencies work. That's sheer madness

@@etekweb Same here. But seeing as his business-daddy is AT&T, a network corporation, even _if_ he'd've wanted to talk about the dangers 5G poses for the Weather Forcasting System, they probably put their foot-down on him even _hinting_ at the likely disturbances and interferences 5G will cause to the instruments and other equipment used by weather services world wide to observe minute oscillations of water molecules, which vibrate at about the same frequencies as 5G is clocked in to operate.

Yeah and the reality is we couldn't be self sustaining even if we wanted to, and we don't. Our current president just wants to take from countries and not defend them as allies, in turn turning them against us. Now the world may not be falling on us (yet), but the precedent has been set and most of us can already tell where it's headed. The sad part is, we can change this, but given the support still in place for this bs, it wont be worked on any time soon.

Everything is seen s zero-sum in the States.

It's not alone, sadly. A lot of countries are turning away from international cooperation and institutions that helped everyone's lives become better and safer. Britain is the big example, but all the nationalist populist stuff in lots of countries has a similar attitude.

It's more that they see it as lost market share.

( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FGL4-sXko9w.html @ 0:52 ) Snyder jokes aside, I still enjoyed Man of Steel, but the REAL Superman would definitely be awesome to have as a protector of Earth, but John Oliver's far more entertaining/informative. :D

Got me through my first hurricane safe and unharmed, didn’t even lose power. I felt safe knowing who was doing the forecasting, and that they could also teach so well that I came out of it knowing so much more about hurricanes.

Is he destroying it or just not playing ball? People aren't getting their money through corruption and lies and they're really pissed. Trump need to cut off tax payer money to Soros NGO's next.

@@mikespongili8254 Privatization has ruined America,started with Reagan breaking the unions, putting former local jobs that were under the auspices of government,in the hands of a few who rape the system, then move on and do it again, all to the detriment of the American wage earner. Face it there have been No raises since 1981 that have come close to keeping up w/ the cost of living index. Benedict Orangehole is a nasty jANUS that needs to be removed!

@@CasiodorusRex sooooooo, the government not charging people to help them avoid tornados is corrupt how?

Flunked 3 - 6 grade arithmetic and well.....

To be fair, the 2/3rds is the rest of the world combined so... Per nation bases US is at the losing end of that deal. That is just simple 3-6 grade arithmetic.

TheZeroNeonix anyone under Trump's Regime, where they are draining the swamp and filling it with the swampiest critters i.e. rich sacks 'o $hite who don't give any fox about a city full of people, but save the goods that are paid for by the people paying them. #goonsquad #TrumpsaTraitor #OrganizedCrime #Classist #CapitalistinGovernment #PeopleinDanger #NoFox2Give

Let me fix the math for you: US receives 2 (TWO) times more information than they give.

lol, why am I not surprised. xD I went to Germany few years ago and we had to pay for everything! You can't even walk in a random castle area without paying entrance fee. Or maybe this is just the case in Berlin.

Laylla's Locker Usually you have to pay if you want to get inside a castle (museum), walking around on the outside is most of the time for free. Of course maintaining castles is pretty expensive, thus the entrance fee helps to pay for restoration. As far as I know that’s basically also the case in the other European countries.

I've been here (Germany) for a year and no one seems to know if it's more capitalist or more socialist

Nick Chris that’s why it’s called social market economy 🙈

@@Strat94able what does that mean

@@DMVGREY Mark Twain was an American humorist who died in 1910?? I don't think he put that much thought into his joke...

@@DMVGREY He didn't put that much thought in it because he is one of the greatest American writers in History, A joke came to him like being confused comes to you. I put question marks at the end of the sentence because I was honestly shocked that you didn't know who Mark Twain was. He's probably the most Famous American writer, he's the Charles Dickens of America (Except he's funny). Honestly the Joke doesn't mean anything... It's just supposed to make you chuckle or grin.

@@DMVGREY We're also causing global warming, and we could work harder to stop causing it.

Everyone with half a brain just looks at our tax payer funded nws loop of the radar... free and funded by nasa, cant be beat by any weather person

Fast forward a hundred years and we're all roasting.

Predatory capitalism will eat itself,

Just almost 🤔

@@leftjab276 Yes sadly it might take the planet and innocent people with is

Bingo

makes you think 🤔🤔🤔

Nice and reasonable people in the US should just make a collective walk-out and spread all over the world and make the places they go to better. Then we should let the people who remain in the US build a giant wall all around the US - because that is of course what they'd want to do - and only deal with them if they start bombing other countries from inside of the US or if they produce too many greenhouse gas emissions.

@@camelopardalis84 Put a big roof on top of the wall (lot of them believe in a dome overhead anyways) and watch it crash and burn inside, instead of crashing and burning the entire world

This week's reason not to move to the USA? Because the National Weather Service is a tremendous scientific organization providing an essential government service to the public for free?

@Josh Hadley yeah lousy farmers with their goddamn subsidies.

@Josh Hadley Do you lot get welfare for mental disabilities? You seem to speak from experience there.

That's basically what Trump did to the EPA, unfortunately.

@@aurorawolfe6060 Trump has been doing that with a lot of government agencies. Getting rid of them would be too difficult and draw a lot of attention, so he guts them to the point where they're useless.

It's a brilliant strategy; make government as ineffective as possible, then suggest the private companies take over as a viable alternative, thus privatizing a vital source of information, meaning people may (and eventually will) start having to pay for the service. And then said private firms will fight hard with lobbying and politicians to ensure that we cannot go back to the old system.

@@johnathanbarnes8639 It's what they've been doing to the VA. They've been gutting it so they can try to sell idiots on the idea of privatizing the VA. Cause you know, trying to make the VA a profitable business is what my disabled veteran ass needs the most.

It is called starving the beast and it is a tactic that Republicans have used for a while now.

But, um, it had to do with a Presidential nomination to a Federal agency, how could you actually think Trump wasn't involved?

I am actually pretty surprised he didn't mention anything about the sharpie.

@@Secret_Moon I miss the sharpie too.

Haha

@@Sonichero151 It's almost summer, it's hot as shit, many places are in drought, and everything is combusting. But apparently Climate Change isn't real. And it';s not even summer yet

@@Sonichero151 Please tell me you are joking.

don't let these corrupt fucking trogs in parliament get away with this shit. they are killing us.

Same :( and they refuse to talk about climate change in parliament because it would be 'politicising' an emergency.. an emergency we face every year, and it's getting worse. Good god. Down in Vic the weather is only just starting to heat up but we're gearing up for a particularly scary summer.
