The government has been paying to teach TV weathercasters about climate change. GOP senators want it to stop.
Four Republican senators are calling for an investigation of National Science Foundation grants, saying the federal agency has ventured beyond science and into political advocacy — particularly with its support of a program that encourages TV weathercasters to report on global warming.

The senators' call came shortly after NBC News published an article about the program, Climate Matters, which has taught more than 500 local TV meteorologists how climate change affects everything from heat waves and hurricanes to pollen and poison ivy. The senators said the $4 million program "is not science - it is propagandizing."
