Weather Cracks The Climate Code
By Anne Becker -- Broadcasting & Cable, 7/11/2006 2:04:00 PM
The Weather Channel is embarking on a major initiative to disseminate information on climate change and global warming.

The network will launch new program The Climate Code with climate expert Dr. Heidi Cullen in October, as well as a broadband channel called "Oneº," aiming to become "as much a source for climate information as we are today for weather information," said Weather Channel President Deborah Wilson.

With the public gaining greater awareness of climate issues through mainstream documentaries like Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth, Weather is aiming to "bring a greater understanding of climate change and the effects of climate change on our earth to people here in our country," said Wilson.
