forecasting weather vs engineering
(OP)
Here in Atlanta, GA the local weather guru on WSB, Curt Melish, is advertising that he is the first so-called “Certified Broadcast Meteorologist”. In the promo touting this alleged achievement Melish claims that this certification is akin to “lawyers passing the bar exam” and “licensing engineers”.
They have GOT to be kidding, RIGHT?

The overblown title you mention falls into the legal realm as "puffery" and has no obligation to be factual.

I wonder if these CBMs can be sued for "damages" resulting from a poor forcast? To me this looks like a society certification rather than having any basis in the law. As such I think it FAR from being akin to licensed engineers.
