TV Forecasters Talk About Climate Change, But Face Pushback And Threats

"Chris Gloninger was excited to start his new job as chief meteorologist at KCCI, a TV station in Des Moines, when he moved to Iowa in 2021.

He was coming from Boston to connect the dots between weather and climate change trends. Gloninger knew it might elicit some grumbling from Iowan viewers.

“I expected push back,” he said. “I just didn’t expect the magnitude and how quickly it went off the rails.”"
