An Iowa meteorologist started talking about climate change on newscasts. Then came the harassment
TV meteorologist Chris Gloninger faced intensifying harassment as he did more reporting on climate change during local newscasts.
You're viewing a single thread.
Gloninger’s experience is all too common among meteorologists across the country who are encountering reactions from viewers as they tie climate change to extreme temperatures, blizzards, tornadoes and floods in their local weather reports. For on-air meteorologists, the anti-science trend that has emerged in recent years compounds a deepening skepticism of the news media.
Yet the same people still expect meteorologists to use the same science to predict the weather for them.
I don't think they are even aware that meteorologists predict the weather using science.
