As the ZZTop song goes, "We love to watch her but we love to watch her strut", we dearly love watching Julie Durda do her lovely impression of a weatherologist. As you peruse the following, keep in mind that she was voted a well deserved (sorry Lizette and Shari) best SoFla weather forecaster by some local yocal infotainment comblabberators.
But first, note we are addressing Julie's climb to fame because in a prior post regarding the vast differences between denierologists and actual climate scientists we loosely pointed out that some denierologists just simply have no credentials, some have no formal training, and some have minimal related education, and most have absolutely no knowledge of the numerous sciences related to the requirements of climate scientists...
We also generalized in that initial post (link below) that over 50% of weather forecasters that have been anointed by the shameless American Meteorologist "Society" of weather hooters as their own little precious deniers of global warming for their master dirty energy corporate owners.
Well, that little rant of ours resulted in some email "feedback" in protest of our "attack" on weather frognosticaters.
In response, we did a little research into our pre-emminent local yocal number one weather forecaster that forecasts for the WSVN station by the name of Julie Durda...
The research on lovely Julie turned up the following supposed facts, on the likes of Wikipedia (link below) and Facebook even...
Julie is a former cheerleader for the San Francisco 49ers.
Julie is a former contestant on "The Bachelor".
Julie was a featured member of the Comedy Central television show "BattleBots".
Julie was a model for the E.A. Sports Tiger Woods PGA 2003 video game in the role of Val "Sunshine" Summers.
Julie was in a nationally televised Coors Light commercial.
Julie broke into her weather-loll-ogist career as an "intern" nooz reporter -- without a journalism degree -- before ultimately grabbing the title of traffic reporter, still without a college degree.
Julie then moved to Phoenix's KPHO as a traffic reporter and fill-in weather reporter still with no formal education in meteorology (deduced from the time-line order of her carear, I mean career).
Julie, after less than a year, ditched traffic reporting to pursue a career full-time in "weather".
Julie was eventually awarded a degree in "broadcast meteorology" from Mississippi State University. Mississippi State? "Broadcast meteorology"? Does that have anything to do with "meteorology" or is it just about broadcasting? And isn't meteorology the study of meteors? Shouldn't weather forecasters study weatherology, or even whether-ology?
And most importantly, Julie was finally anointed by the increasingly infamous American Meteor-illogical Society, which harbors a contingent of members that are more than 50% of admitted outright mindless deniers of global warming, and most of the rest (except for our Sofla gals) are trained contrarians or ignorologists of "climate change" and shameless downplayers and lowballers of the increasing plethora of burgeoning catastrophic weather events in both severity and frequency...
Julie is 32, so that's a lot of history crammed into, what, 14 years or less.
So there you have it folks. That is one example of how some -- and likely most -- people are indoctrinated into weather "broadcasting", and some unfortunately into "denierology".
We disclaim that we actually do sympathize with Julie and the other cohort faction of crony phoney baloney denierologists, as they surely do not sleep well at night without a lot of pharmaceutical lobotomizing drugs, which we guess also helps them get through their ignorologist weather bullpooporama of having to ignore the obvious truth of global warming and it's obvious spawn, catastrophic and aberrant weather.
And lastly, although Julie is a good little Faux Snooz channel frognosticator and faithfully ignores global warming and catastrophic weather like it simply does not matter, while pooh-poohing notably aberrant weather (she did goof up and admit last Friday that an entire week of bleak, sunless, cold, wet, windy, lousy weather was "a gloomy week"), we have to give her some credit for not denying global warming, and we do all love to watch her, but...
And here is a link to the Wikipedia info on Julie from which we culled some of the above bullet points, which we must presume is largely accurate, while noting that Wikipedia is always subject to change...
Followup disclaimer. This post was loosely authorized to a formerly dependable backup contributor as a "just post anything" task during an extended absence of the main team. In retro, it appears our backup cannot recall all of the sources of her info and in perusing the original post we were subsequently unable to find a tidbit or two such as Julie's award for best local weather person. But as our backup contributor pointed out, things do change on the internet, so we leave it open for critique as is (after doing some considerable toning down; sorry if any of the original wording might have seemed to over-generalize and categorize Julie as part of the under-qualified denierologist morons).
