From wind and rain to tornadoes and hurricanes, weather is a powerful force in our world. Discover how weather changes the world we live in and how scientists learn about its impact on our daily lives.

Thanks to an ongoing revolution in the science of meteorology, we can now understand how extreme weather conditions arise, produce far more accurate forecasts, and know how to protect ourselves when dangerous conditions develop. The Science of Extreme Weather is your field guide to the worst that Earth’s atmosphere can inflict. In 24 exciting, informative, and potentially life-saving half-hour lectures aimed at weather novices and amateur forecasters alike, you gain a surprisingly powerful tool in the face of such overwhelming forces: knowledge.

Look up! When you look to the sky, do you wonder why the sun is so bright or why the clouds are white or why the sky is blue? Then Weather for Dummies is your resource to fuel your curiosity about the weather. It takes you on an exciting journey through the Earth's atmosphere and the ways it behaves. You'll get an overview of rain, sun, clouds, storms, and other phenomena.

Brace yourself for a deep dive into the science of how artificial intelligence is revolutionizing our understanding of extreme weather and climate change. Each episode brings you cutting-edge research and insights on how AI-powered tools are being used to predict and mitigate natural disasters like floods, droughts, and wildfires. We'll unravel the complexities of climate models, explore the frontiers of AI-powered early warning systems, and discuss the ethical implications of AI-driven solutions. Join us as we break down the science and uncover the transformative potential of AI in tackling ...

A frequent update on regional weather for Western New York/Buffalo with some national content; latest on evidence-based climate science, including anthropogenic warming; and jousting as would Don Quixote with Junk Science. Laughs, from time to time, too.

A podcast which offers Western New York regional weather forecasts, extended outlooks, and which examines the broader context of warming climate impacts. There will also be jousts with junk science and disinformation so endemic to social media, and some sprinklings of humor from the ex-gag writer part of my CV. Author is now into his 47th year of operational meteorology, with extensive continuing education all along the way...although I still can't program my VCR.

Predictable will explore everything from how we forecast tomorrow’s weather — to how we can predict droughts or hurricanes months ahead — and how climate change is impacting those predictions. NBC meteorologist Chase Cain will talk with everyone from celebrities to politicians and meteorologists to dive deep into the science and its impacts, but those conversations will be anything but predictable. The good news is that there’s still time to change what’s next and protect our beautiful planet.

A fascinating look at the most destructive wildfires in American history, the impact of climate change, and what we're doing right and wrong to manage forest fire, from a National Book Award finalist. Perfect for young fans of disaster stories and national history. Wildfires have been part of...

Produced by Climate Central — a highly regarded, independent, nonprofit journalism and research organization founded in 2008 — and reviewed by scientists at major educational and research institutions the world over, Global Weirdness summarizes, in clear and accessible prose, everything we already know about the science of climate change. It explains what is likely to happen to the climate in the future and lays out in practical terms what we can and cannot do to avoid further shifts.

The story begins on a windswept beach in Barbados, from where we follow the ascent of a weather balloon that will travel along the jet stream all around the world. From this viewpoint we observe the effect of the jet in influencing human life around the hemisphere, and witness startling changes emerging. What is the jet stream and how well do we understand it? How does it affect our weather and is it changing? These are the main questions tackled in this book.

In its 2001 report on global climate, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change of the United Nations prominently featured the "Hockey Stick", a chart showing global temperature data over the past 1,000 years. The Hockey Stick demonstrated that temperature had risen with the increase in industrialization and use of fossil fuels. The inescapable conclusion was that worldwide human activity since the industrial age had raised CO2 levels, trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and warming the planet.
