ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode of FMC Fast Chat, we go behind the scenes in extreme weather forecasting with one of the world's foremost experts, Jeff Masters, Ph.D., author at Yale Climate Connections, co-founder of Weather Underground and former NOAA Hurricane Hunter.
From how weather and forecasting tools have changed over the decades to the impact of hurricanes and drought on our lives and wallets, this chat culminates in the ultimate question everyone has been asking: Can this planet be saved?
Masters also provides insight on the best places to find quality information on climate change and gives the best answer we've ever heard to climate change deniers. Plus, what the news media does badly in covering extreme weather, and does the weather have a soul? This is an informative, fast-moving 30-minute listen.
ABOUT JEFF MASTERS, Ph.D.
Jeff Masters, Ph.D., worked as a hurricane scientist with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters from 1986-1990. After a near-fatal flight into category 5 Hurricane Hugo, he left the Hurricane Hunters to pursue a safer passion - earning a 1997 Ph.D. in air pollution meteorology from the University of Michigan.
In 1995, he co-founded the Weather Underground, and served as its chief meteorologist and on its Board of Directors until it was sold to the Weather Company in 2012.
Between 2005-2019, his Category 6 blog was one of the Internet's most popular and widely quoted sources of extreme weather and climate change information. (Source: Yale Climate Connections)
