148/mph wind in the face (VIDEO)
Blasted with a wind cannon, who is more composed?
Hello,
Extreme wind fuelled by climate change has been causing the disastrous fires in LA. Our newest video has comedians blasting each other with a wind cannon while trying to report on the source of all this dangerous wind…
The Weird Weather Network is an audience-supported project focused on the climate emergency brought to you by Warm Notice (and some of the Shit Harper Did team). You can tell your friends to subscribe to our newsletter here. New videos will drop weekly and we will share them here and on socials. Follow us and help us teach the algorithms that people care about climate by watching our videos all the way through, sharing and commenting.
That’s it for now. Thanks for tuning in! See you soon with more from The WWN.
With hope,

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What’s the point of creating a content studio (Warm Notice)?
Thanks to supporters like you, SHD reached millions. In 2015, the 9 year reign of the climate-denying Harper Conservatives finally ended, in part thanks to an unprecedented increase in youth voting. For 4 years SHD was a prominent part of a broad progressive movement that turned out a huge wave of youth voters. However, it wasn’t without sacrifice. The government launched politically motivated false tax assessments to deplete our resources and strain our mental health (You can read more about that here). Warm Notice has been structured with long-term sustainability in mind and with a legal structure that makes it harder for crooked politicians to mess with us.
What have you been doing since SHD ended in 2015?
I’ve continued to develop my craft as a political comedian: releasing a Juno-nominated stand-up album, performing sets on TV (here and here) and working as a Consulting Producer on the satirical blockbuster Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm. However, the climate crisis has remained my top priority. Since 2016 I’ve made two feature films with climate disaster survivors in my Mother’s region of the Philippines (When The Storm Fades and Asog) . I’ve spent years working in communities on the devastating frontline of climate destabilization. At times it has been harrowing, but it has also been a source of profound joy. I’ve learned a lot through this work and am excited to apply it with Warm Notice.
