Joe Bastardi joins renowned forecaster Joseph D'Aleo

During his tenure at AccuWeather, Bastardi was also a frequent guest on Fox News where he discussed not only weather but his skeptical position on global warming. Barak said Bastardi as well as D'Aleo would be free to do television appearances and speak their mind but emphasized WeatherBell is "not a media company."

Barak is well aware of Bastardi's controversial position on global warming not to mention D'Aleo's, who independently runs the skeptic website Icecap.us. Barak said his company does not have a position on the issue and will not interfere with either Bastardi's or D'Aleo's opinions.
