Cal Stoker "Weatherman to the world" from the TV news program Wake Up World is getting some bad news from his producer Sid Haffner...
SID
Sorry Cal the network passed on your special about climate change.
CAL
Is it because of Kohl International?

SID
That, and we’re doing great in the ratings. The news is depressing enough. People like your light touch.
CAL
I know that climate denier Morgan Kohl had a hand in this.
PANEL 3
SID
You knew his position about it, and that Kohl International is one of our biggest sponsors going in to this.
CAL
I’m a scientist, it would be nice to do something meaningful once in awhile.
PANEL 4
SID
Cal, you’re one of the most popular and highest paid people in the business. A lot of people would love to be in your shoes.
PANEL 5
CAL
I know that Sid, and I appreciate it. But sometimes I wish I wasn’t the "Weatherman to the world".
SID
As my mother always said, rest her soul, "Careful what you wish for".
