AbstractLocal TV气象学家最适合教育公众关于全球气候变化的本地影响：他们作为气候科学信息的来源具有很高的公众信任度，当地电视是美国天气信息的第一来源，大多数天气预报员都有相关的科学培训和出色的沟通技巧。调查显示，大多数电视气象学家愿意报道气候变化，但缺乏时间，缺乏广播质量的图形，缺乏适当的专家是阻碍这种报道的障碍。在国家科学基金会和慈善基金会的资助下，我们开发了气候问题作为教育资源计划，以帮助感兴趣的当地电视气象学家教育他们的观众有关全球气候变化对当地的影响。气候变化目前，该计划为全国160多个参与的天气预报员提供每周本地化的广播准备图形和脚本想法，短视频和机会。
AbstractLocal TV meteorologists are optimally positioned to educate the public about the local implications of global climate change: They have high public trust as a source of climate science information, local TV is the #1 source of weather information in America, and most weathercasters have relevant scientific training and excellent communication skills. Surveys show that most TV meteorologists would like to report on climate change, but lack of time, lack of broadcast-quality graphics, and lack of access to appropriate experts are barriers that inhibit such coverage.With funding from the National Science Foundation and philanthropic foundations, we developed Climate Matters as an educational resources program to help interested local TV meteorologists educate their viewers about the local impacts of global climate change.
