Guest: Dr. Justin SharpeWe all know the saying “if a tree falls in a forest and there's nobody around to hear it, does it make a sound?” Well in our world, we can say something like “if a forecast is perfect, but it doesn't get disseminated properly, did it do any good?” There are still leaps and bounds that need to be made in the weather industry to bridge the gap between the research and communication when it comes to severe weather of all shapes and sizes. We have Dr. Justin Sharpe here on the show today to discuss the work being done in the social sciences both in the present and future…See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The desperation of Donald Trump and many of his co-conspirators is showing. Attorney/RICO defendant Kenneth Chesebro has filed a motion asking the judge to dismiss his case claiming he was "justified" in giving the Trump campaign legal advice about the fake elector scheme. Also, Mark Meadows has filed an emergency appeal after a judge's denial of his motion to transfer his case from Georgia state court to federal court. And Trump's attorneys have filed a motion to try to remove Judge Tanya Chutkan from presiding over Trump's federal prosecution in Washington DC. Glenn explains why all these motions are sure losers.

Three news stories summarized & contextualized by analytic journalist Colin Wright.Filling of Grand Renaissance Dam on the Nile completeSummary: The Ethiopian government has announced the completion of the years-long process of filling its Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, which is on the Nile and has sparked all sorts of diplomatic issues between Ethiopia and its downstream neighbors, Egypt and Sudan.Context: This should, ostensibly at least, be good news, as now that the dam is filled, Ethiopia won't need to truncate the flow of water on the Nile in order to fill it, which has been a significant source of outrage for the governments of Sudan and Egypt; that said, the Egyptian foreign ministry has condemned the final filling of the dam as illegal, and has said that this could weigh on negotiations between the three countries about Nile water management which were suspended in 2021, but which picked back up last month; the dam should be capable of generating more than 5,000 megawatts of electricity, which would more than double Ethiopia's existing, total electricity production—only half of the country's 120 million people currently have access to electricity, and this could go a long way toward providing energy for more of their population.—Al JazeeraOne Sentence News is a reader-supported publication.

Guests: Dr. Linnea Avallone & Nicholas Anderson, National Science FoundationWhile aircraft radar has come along away over the past several decades, the U.S. National Science Foundation, or NSF, is looking to take things a step forward with an investment of over 90 million dollars to create the Airborne Phased Array Radar. This will be a state-of-the-art radar that will be attached to the outside of an aircraft and flown over land and oceans to get remarkably close 3D views of what is going on deep inside clouds and severe storms. And the weather research implications of this new system could bring new understanding to severe storms and tropical cyclone research. Joining us today from the NSF are Dr. Linnea Avallone, Chief Officer for Research Facilities, and Nicholas Anderson, Program Director for Physical and Dynamic Meteorology.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
