For some journalists, reporting on climate change brings harassment and threats

Thousands of protesters marched through New York City on Sunday, demanding that President Joe Biden and other world leaders at the United Nations General Assembly end the use of fossil fuels. As climate change becomes increasingly urgent and polarizing, the scientists who study it and the journalists who report on it are being harassed. Meteorologist Chris Gloninger says he was excited to incorporate climate change into his weather forecasts when he was hired by KCCI, a CBS affiliate, in 2021. “I decided I wanted to have the opportunity to talk about climate change in a part of the country where there was a huge void,” said Gloninger, who moved to Des Moines, Iowa, for the job. “It seemed like a no-brainer.” (Liam Scott)
