    I tend to like John's shows, he brings a nit of not tooooo seriousness to subjects and is pleasant enough.

    I thought the piece on the satellites that are in the sky was extremely interesting and informative.

    Good mix of bit of science/interviews and on location examples.

    Solid program, interesting to watch whilst maintaining it at understandable level.

    I thought it was great again - despite the infuriating glitches on UPC's player that meant I had to stop and start it about 20 times :mad:

    I especially enjoyed the Dublin Airport segment - I've always been fascinated by the inner workings of an airport and would LOVE to spend a day (or a year!) hanging around watching how it all works. Onsite weather forecasters and weather management are only a tiny part of the whole thing - but what a vital part!

    Was also interested to hear the guy in Kerry saying that on balance he'd let nature take its course when the likes of the damage happened at Rossbeigh. I'm familiar with a beach in NW Donegal for the last 30-odd years, and it's gone from being unrelieved white plaster-smooth sand to being 95% rocks for a significant portion of its length, and back again, I've lost count how many times now. I never knew if it was that the sand got sucked out, or the rocks got thrown up. I now guess it was that the sand got washed away. All seems to be fairly cyclical though - so while it may be hard on the families/farms etc that are left exposed, I'm not sure that you can fight nature and stop the march of the sea

    Fascinating programme, I'm well impressed with it so far.

    FAIL big time.

    MAN MADE CLIMATE CHANGE.

    Poor man is disillusion.

    I can see by his body language he is not comfortable with this line, he is aware of climate, weather, climate change and global warming, and has got confused.

    Pretty good presentation.

    Interesting though that RTE only showed Nuala Carey explaining the mechanics of the actual presentation; no mention at all of where/how she (and John) got the actual forecast information.

    I did like his last comment about Taxing Climate Change.

    That was covered earlier by Evelyn Cusack at the start of the programme.

    Not in any detail, mind you - which I would have been very interested to see. Maybe that's for the next series. If you're reading this John......

    I remember years ago seeing a BBC/UTV programme where people swapped jobs, and a weather forecaster/presenter from UTV (don't know her name but you'd definitely know her) swapped with an RSPCA officer. They showed a lot of the mechanics of putting the weather forecast together and it was fascinating. (They also showed a LOT of the weather forecaster squealing in terror at the animals she had to deal with :D )

    Evelyn showed him the computers and the maps that he was to extrapolate his forecast from, I don't have time to take all that in he said.
