Joe Bastardi Quits AccuWeather

Global Warming skeptic Joe Bastardi is leaving his job at AccuWeather after 32 years.  Is that important?  Perhaps.  What is important for skeptics to note is that his accuracy made him a target for the Kool Aid crowd and his departure will be no different. 

With that in mind, the announcement has already attracted some disparaging comments.  One in particular caught mt attention - a brief comment that he was/is a meteorologist and not a climate scientist.  That distinction caused me to ask an obvious question.
