I’ve known about this for quite some time, but kept it mum, because as Joe wrote in an email exchange today, “Yes, I was nervous that I would get protesters if it was widely made known.” Below is the photo of Joe getting recognition for his years of service to the meteorological community.
Here is the announcement:
2014 Commencement, LYNDON -A Vermont State College
Jane Lindholm, host of Vermont Public Radio’s award-winning Vermont
Edition, will deliver the graduation address at LSC’s 103rd commencement
ceremonies. The event will begin at 11 a.m., Sunday, May 18, under the tent on the soccer field.
Former LSC meteorology faculty member Joseph D’Aleo will be awarded
an honorary doctoral degree for his accomplishments as an educator
and a pioneer in the field of broadcast meteorology.
While at LSC, D’Aleo helped establish an Air Force ROTC program, a campus
weather service, a co-op internship program, and the Northeast
Storm Conference. D’Aleo and John Coleman turned Coleman’s vision
for a 24-hour, 7-day-a-week television station dedicated to forecasting
the weather into The Weather Channel.
Sincere congratulations Joe. It is well deserved, and long overdue.
One thing we can be certain of is that unlike NCDC Director Tom Karl, he won’t use an honorary degree to puff up his stature.

Congratulations! Thank you for helping to keep things real.
Congratulations Joe!!!
Congratulations, Joe. You earned it, and you deserve the honor.
Here’s to a real life hero.
You KNOW you’ve been over the target with all that flak you’ve taken.
CONGRATULATIONS, JOE D’ALEO!
Thanks to your valiant efforts …
truth has won!
(Just keepin’ those climate scoundrels out on the farthest borders, now, heh, heh —
Meh, go ahead, you Envirostalinists, l1e your heads off…… no — one — cares
bwah, ha, ha, ha, haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! <– that's the sound of a climate warrior's best weapon: laughter,)

Richly deserved! Congratulations, Joe!!!
Well deserved recognition. Way to go, Joe !!
Congratulations indeed!
Congratulations Joe.
Congrats!
Congratulations Joe! Well deserved Sir!
Joe has always impressed with his intellect, his decency, his integrity, his accomplishments, and his humility.
Joe had the courage to publish my climate-heretic paper in January 2008 at:
http://icecap.us/index.php/go/joes-blog/carbon_dioxide_in_not_the_primary_cause_of_global_warming_the_future_can_no/
In this enormous CO2 equation, the only signal that is apparent is that dCO2/dt varies ~contemporaneously with temperature, and CO2 lags global Lower Troposphere temperatures by about 9 months.
CO2 also lags temperature by about 800 years in the ice core record on a longer time scale.
I suggest with some confidence that the future cannot cause the past.
I suggest that temperature drives CO2 more than CO2 drives temperature. This does not preclude other drivers of CO2 such as fossil fuel combustion, deforestation, etc.
My January 2008 hypo is gaining traction with the recent work of several researchers. We don’t always agree on the fine details, but there is clear agreement in the primary hypothesis.
Here is Murry Salby’s address to the Sydney Institute in 2011:
Here is Salby’s address in Hamburg 2013:

The Phase Relation between Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide and Global Temperature
Global and Planetary Change

Highlights
– Changes in global atmospheric CO2 are lagging 11–12 months behind changes in global sea surface temperature.
– Changes in global atmospheric CO2 are lagging 9.5–10 months behind changes in global air surface temperature.
– Changes in global atmospheric CO2 are lagging about 9 months behind changes in global lower troposphere temperature.
– Changes in ocean temperatures explain a substantial part of the observed changes in atmospheric CO2 since January 1980.
– Changes in atmospheric CO2 are not tracking changes in human emissions.
Regards to all, Allan
Congratulations Joe, well deserved. Love your work.
Congratulations, Joe!!!!
Nice work Joe, congratulations.
Excellent post (at 11:16am), Allan MacRae.
You and Salby and all you Science Warriors for Truth
ROCK!
CO2 UP. WARMING STOPPED.
Hm, I just wonder why that is, heh, heh.

Joe, you are a hero of mine. You stepped aside from your pursuit of a Ph.D. way back when to join me in the battle to bring meaningful, accurate weather forecasts to “Good Morning, America” and when the Producers and David Hartman made that impossible, you worked side by side with me to design The Weather Channel. And when I finally (after a four year search) came up with funding, you devoted your entire life and energy for several years to bring the TV weather service we envisioned into reality on TV screens across the United States. While you received only meager rewards for your accomplishments, you are admired and respected by thousands of TV Meteorologists for what you did. I am humbled by your knowledge, skill and humanity. May the balance of your life be ever so sweet Dr. D’Aleo.
================================================================
His stature needs no puffing up. His accomplishments are solid with or without the honorary degree he so richly deserves.
Excellent, Joe, congratulations. 🙂
Well deserved!
What a fine job you are doing! We need people like you, and a lot! Just keep going..
Congratulations, mes sinceres felicitations.
Up, up, and away!

“Doctor” Dew Point…congratulations.
Joe D’Aleo ,
Enjoy your well earned recognition.

Ditto’s!
Congratulations, to Joe D’Aleo!
And thank you for your stand on the truth and nothing but the truth.

Been a while since I’ve heard those other verses I had to memorize. Thanks.
