Weather Nazi is a FAKE - Never Studied Weather at all

OK, here's the scoop on this Weather Woman on The Weather Channel.

"Cullen comes to NCAR from a NOAA Climate and Global Change Fellowship at the International Research Institute for Climate Prediction. Her expertise lies in both history and climate variability. She earned a bachelor's degree in Near Eastern religions and history from Juniata College before going to Columbia
University for a bachelor's in engineering and operations research and a Ph.D. in climate variability. Combining her interests, Cullen has studied historic drought and climate variability in the Middle East as well as the application of forecasts to water resource management in the La Plata Basin of South America. Her doctoral research focused in part on the dynamics of the North Atlantic Oscillation as well as its impact on freshwater supplies in the Middle East. At NCAR, she will test whether the use of climate models can improve water resource management at the world's largest hydroelectric plant: Itaipu Binacional, which provides power to Brazil and
Paraguay. The challenge is to prevent flooding without unnecessarily curbing energy generation."

Give me a flippin break. This so called Weather Channel Climate Expert has not studied meteorology at all, nor any Earth Sciences, nor any real overview of climate systems aside from one paper she did for her supposed Doctorate. She studied religion and some operations research in her undergraduate years - well whoopie! I studied Earth Sciences, Meteorology, Climatology, Geography, as well as engineering and computer science in my undergraduate years. And I studied operations systems (whoopie) in my graduate studies. She never went to grad school... she just wrote a thesis for her Doctorate. I could do that and run circles around her. What a QUACK! Good job Weather Channel, you hired a political quack to be your climate expert! I hope that real meteorologists hand her her head real soon...
