H/T @DanielSwain
"The success of the climatologist Daniel Swain rests on a simple foundation: His specialty has long been how global climate change messes with local weather. Many climatologists focus on subjects that seem arcane: mean global temperatures registered in Celsius, radiative forcing, the reflectivity of clouds. Swain, in contrast, talks in plain Englishโconstantly, really, in interviews with CBS, NBC, the Weather Channel, and The Washington Post, as well as on his own blog and YouTube channel, Weather Westโabout the wind and the rain and the temperature outside, and how they are influenced by the larger forces of the atmosphere.
โHe uses language that is both precise and deep but very accessible, and thatโs why you see him quoted everywhere,โ Mark Hertsgaard, a longtime climate journalist who is the executive director of Covering Climate Now, told [the Atlantic]. According to Swainโs own tally, he does more than 200 media interviews a year; he is, in other words, about as omnipresent as a weather guy can be in peopleโs lives. A climate scientist at the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resourcesโ research unit, Swain is not exactly a โweather influencer,โ that breed of streamer who delivers breathless updates about the next big storm. But he has become one of the countryโs most influential explainers of the weatherโs relationship to the climate; youโve almost certainly heard from him if you consume just a scintilla of climate-related newsโฆโ
