Everyone talks about climate, but no one does anything about it with Dr. Daniel Swain, UCANR and NCAR

Everyone talks about climate but no one does anything about it.  In recent months, parts of Maui were nearly washed away by Kona Lows that dropped 60 inches of rain.  An unusual trio of Pacific cyclones on both sides of the equator drove warm oceanic water to the east, adding to climate turbulence.  And the world is being warned of an “off-the-charts” El Niño this coming fall and winter. And there’s more!  Are you having trouble keeping track of all of these phenomena?  Relief is at hand!

Join host Ronnie Lipschutz for a tutorial about climate with Dr. Daniel Swain, a weather and climate scientist with the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources division and a research partner at the NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research. He engages extensively with journalists and other media partners, serving as a climate and weather science liaison to print, television, radio, and web-based outlets and is the go-to guy when on latest climate research and findings.
