What I learned from North America's top meteorologists at Climate Week

CBC climate reporter Johanna Wagstaffe reflects on a closeddoor Climate Week session in New York City with broadcast meteorologists, scientists, and policy experts. The discussion focused on how weather presenters can explain climate change and extreme weather to audiences, and on the personal pressure that comes with that role. Wagstaffe says one major takeaway was that the link between weather and climate is clear, but public pushback can be difficult, especially for forecasters who face backlash when they mention climate science on air. She also notes that the U.S. and Canadian TV markets give weather communicators very different amounts of time to add context. The newsletter also looks at Canada’s progress toward protecting 30 per cent of land and oceans by 2030, and profiles a Vancouver company that is growing mycelium as a lowercost ingredient that can be mixed with meat products.
