Why don't Fox News Meteorologists ever chime in when the subject of Climate Change comes up?

I mean they have Janice Dean, Rick Reichmuth, and Maria Molina who have studied meteorology, right? And climate change has everything to do with weather and and meteorology is the study of weather or the atmosphere, right? So why is it whenever climate change comes up, its always news pundits or business analysts who discuss whether climate change exists?

Update:

@Lee Hoffmann Your using terms like "vast majority" and "consensus" so could you please link the evidence that the "vast majority of meteorologists believe the northern hemisphere is going through a natural cycle. Or that the "consensus" is that man is not the primary cause.

    The vast majority of meteorologists believe that the northern hemisphere warming that apparently ended a decade go is a natural cycle. Really, except for short-term disciplines like biologists and climate scientists (whatever that is - it was started when the global warming scare started), most specialists (geophysicists, astrophysicists) in long term climate change believe it was a cycle. The consensus was that it was happening, not that man was the primary cause.

    They don't chime in, because they're PRESENTERS rather than scientists.

    Secondly, climate change is still happening, the Earth as a whole is getting about 2-3 fahrenheit hotter every year, and that's due to climate displacement(which is not a natural occurance, it's a polution problem).

    Climate Change, is a political term. People use it to identify themselves as Liberals in a crowd

    They aren't trained meteorologists. They're trained marsupials.
