Episode One: Weather Extremes
Are we seeing more extremes in the weather? 2020 was a record-breaking and catastrophic year with nearly 150 tornadoes from Texas to Maryland, a derecho that leveled parts of the Midwest, a historic wildfire season and numerous hurricanes rolling in from the Atlantic. What's causing this? Is climate change to blame? "2020 has been another really important data point," according to Dr. Radley Horton, Lamont Research Professor at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University. "When we're thinking about risk and trying to plan for the future, you can't think about these events in isolation... It's these long-term trends that really tell us whether human activity or greenhouse gasses are changing the story." WABC-TV Chief Meteorologist Lee Goldberg discusses weather extremes and the impact of climate change in the tristate in episode 1 of "Weather or Not with Lee Goldberg" streaming now on Roku, Android TV, Apple TV, Fire TV, and ABC7NY.com.
