He had been with AccuWeather for 32 years, helping to create the company that supplies radio and TV stations with weather forecasts and updates. Meteorologist Bastardi was AccuWeather's top long-range forecaster and was regularly seen handling hurricane predictions. Now he has tendered his resignation, effective immediately. The company simply says that "Joe Bastardi is no longer with AccuWeather. You won't see more forecasts posted by him." Bastardi was known for his videos and forecasts on the pay-subscription "AccuWeather Pro" site. He was also known for his disbelief of the theories of global warming. A Facebook page created by fans has a "Farewell to Joe Bastardi" page, with tributes pouring in that you can read here.

Was he a meteorologist for the Weather Channel as well?  The name and face looks real familiar.

I think at one point yes, then again he had been around for 32 years.

He had what seemed to be a good working relationship with the many FNC people who he was on with.  Maybe he'll show up on Fox & Friends.

Or maybe he just got pissed off at the agenda being pushed there.  Trust me, Weather Channel is worthless outside the local forecast, because they have that and the, "HOLY SHIT GLOBAL WARMING WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!" shows.  All GW, all the time.

Nah.  He probably got sick of all the global warming crap the company was pushing.  Maybe they forced him to leave by demanding he talk about global warming as if it were real.

He's quite the global warming skeptic; I would suspect he has been gracefully squeezed out in the name of Blessed Orthodoxy.
