Don’t wait until an extreme weather event strikes to learn how climate change is fueling changes to our weather systems. From severe storms in the spring to record heat in the summer, each season brings with it a host of extreme weather events that are becoming more frequent and intense as a result of climate change. On Wednesday, February 26, join Covering Climate Now and Climate Central for the first session of a new webinar series that will prepare North American journalists to cover each season’s extreme weather disasters.
This Prep Your Climate Coverage session will highlight emerging climate research on spring severe weather, including tornadoes, hail, and flooding, explore how journalists have reported on the human impacts of these events, and offer vetted language to make the climate connection in your own reporting. RSVP here.
