最近对电视天气预报员的调查结果表明，天气预报员对气候变化的看法可能正在迅速演变。与之前的调查相比，发现许多天气预报员不相信气候变化，最新的结果显示，大约80%的天气预报员相信人为造成的气候变化。大多数天气预报员现在表示，在过去的50年里，气候变化已经改变了他们媒体市场的天气，许多人认为气候变化也对水资源、农业、交通资源和人类健康产生了有害影响。几乎所有的天气预报员（89%）都认为他们的观众至少对了解当地的影响有点兴趣。大多数天气预报员对报告当地影响感兴趣，包括极端降水和洪水，干旱和水资源短缺，极端高温事件，空气质量以及对当地野生动物，作物和牲畜以及人类健康的危害;近一半的人在过去12个月内至少在一个频道上报告了当地影响。因此，似乎绝大多数天气预报员现在都相信人类引起的气候变化正在发生，许多人认为他们已经目睹了他们社区的有害影响，许多人开始探索教育观众了解全球气候变化对当地影响的方法。我们相信，当地气候教育工作者的角色将很快成为广播气象学家的规范做法，为他们的工作描述增加了一个重要而重要的新角色。
Findings from the most recent surveys of TV weathercasters—which are methodologically superior to prior surveys in a number of important ways—suggest that weathercasters’ views of climate change may be rapidly evolving. In contrast to prior surveys, which found many weathercasters who were unconvinced of climate change, newer results show that approximately 80% of weathercasters are convinced of human-caused climate change. A majority of weathercasters now indicate that climate change has altered the weather in their media markets over the past 50 years, and many feel there have also been harmful impacts to water resources, agriculture, transportation resources, and human health. Nearly all weathercasters—89%—believe their viewers are at least slightly interested in learning about local impacts. The majority of weathercasters are interested in reporting on local impacts, including extreme precipitation and flooding, drought and water shortages, extreme heat events, air quality, and harm to local wildlife, crops and livestock, and human health; and nearly half had reported on the local impacts in at least one channel over the past 12 months. Thus, it appears that a strong majority of weathercasters are now convinced that human-caused climate change is happening, many feel they are already witnessing harmful impacts in their communities, and many are beginning to explore ways of educating their viewers about these local impacts of global climate change. We believe that the role of local climate educator will soon become a normative practice for broadcast meteorologists—adding a significant and important new role to their job descriptions.
