Subject:                                     Sequence of steps to broadcast WCCO's continued failure to fulfill its public responsibility

 

August 26, 2021

 

Greetings,

 

I am disappointed that I have not heard anything from you on our meeting to review the outline for a 60-minute presentation on CO2: The Global Multi-Tasking Killer Molecule. Given what is at stake, that is, the Primary Moral Imperative of saving life on Planet Earth from Climate Hell, you have forced me to use your 2001 and current failure as a marketing tool.

 

My marketing strategy is based on daily increments in exposure of WCCO failure to do the right thing.

  1. Minnesota legislators (text below followed by email list)
  2. Minnesota newspapers
  3. Minnesota TV stations
  4. Minnesota radio stations
  5. Minnesota teachers (one can buy a list of educators for about $50)
  6. Minnesota university staff and students
  7. Minnesota churches.
  8. Re-contact Minnesota TV stations to create the 60-minute presentation.
  9. Class action suit seeking to revoke WCCO’s broadcast license using the accumulated emails.

 

Again, as has been the case since the original 1982 essay given to a TV weather reporter, WCCO weather people are the ones who should be countering managements’ argument that most of the advertising revenues come from the CO2-sinning business (auto and energy) which precludes any exposure of CO2’s long-term effect. If it gets to the point where WCCO’s license are revoked, WCCO’s weather staff will be pariahs in the media and meteorology business because they thought more their jobs than the future of humanity.

 

If you change your minds and will do the right thing, let me know. (I am going to Europe in a few weeks after which it will be too late to change your minds.)

 

Sincerely,
Bob Barnett

Greetings Minnesota Legislators,

 

Twenty years ago when I lived in the Twin Cities, I presented WCCO with material showing the role of CO2 causing immediate droughts/fires and downwind deluges and floods (see below, prior emails). I believe WCCO should atone for its past igknowance, i.e., choosing not to know and not to share, by creating a quality commercial 60-minute video of CO2: The Global, Multi-Tasking Killer Molecule.

 

If WCCO had started the CO2 drought/deluge dialog, Minnesota would not be in its worst droughts ever. If WCCO does not act on this request, as the initial email shows, this new abnormal is nothing compared to the rapidly accelerating climate change.

 

I hope you will bring to bear any influence you have upon WCCO to do the right thing. If they don’t, I will act when I get in Congress to have their broadcast license revoked and to have its weather staff barred from meteorological and media employment. The time for half-measures is long past.

 

If you would like for me to travel to explain the CO2 Killer Molecule essay, please email me.

 

Sincerely, and hopefully,

 

Robert “Bob” S. Barnett
