RECORDED JANUARY 22, 2025; Originally released FEBRUARY 12, 2025Guests: Dr. Ilan Price, Senior Research Scientist, & Matt Willson, Research EngineerFrom the Euro to the GFS to the Canadian, there are multitudes of models that forecasters use to predict our daily weather. There are models for short-term severe forecasting, 10-day outlooks from your local news, and even models that predict our climate years into the future. As technology advances, so do all of these models and the technology we are focusing on today on Weather Geeks is AI. While it may seem like a buzzword these days, it can be used to enhance our industry and help us all reach our common goal: saving lives and property. We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Ilan Price to discuss GenCast, Google's weather forecasting model that is entirely powered by AI. How does it stack up to the models we know and love?

On the International News Review... Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys welcome Bloomberg News Editor Joanna Ossinger to unpack the headlines dominating Asia. We begin in Hong Kong, where tragedy has struck with the death toll rising to over 130 after the devastating Tai Po fire. Officials now admit fire alarms were not working properly, raising urgent questions about safety standards and accountability. Next, we turn to Thailand, where “once in 300 years” rainfall has triggered catastrophic floods across Southeast Asia. Joanna explains the scale of the disaster and its implications for climate resilience in the region. Closer to home, Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong’s remarks on the China-Japan spat over Taiwan have sparked a wave of online barbs and spin from Chinese netizens. We explore what this reaction reveals about regional sensitivities and Singapore’s longstanding diplomatic stance. And finally, a bizarre story from Bangkok: temple staff were stunned when a woman, believed dead, began moving inside her coffin moments before cremation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's been one wild ride through the atmosphere this year — from record-breaking heat waves to snowstorms that made us double-check the map, a hurricane that rewrote history, and tornadoes that left meteorologists speechless. Today, we're taking a step back (and maybe a deep breath) to relive the biggest, boldest, and most unbelievable weather moments of the year. We'll break down what happened, why it happened, and what it all means for the climate conversations ahead. Pour yourself a cup of coffee, sit back, and join us as we revisit the skies that shaped our 2025 one storm at a time.Chapters00:00 Weather Highlights of 202510:13 Devastating Fires in Los Angeles16:53 Break 116:58 Severe Weather and Tornadoes24:54 Flooding Across the Country25:49 Understanding Extreme Weather Events28:49 The Importance of Flash Flood Warnings31:35 The Impact of Urbanization on Flooding33:53 Break 233:54 Analyzing the Quiet Hurricane Season40:01 Hurricane Melissa: A Case Study45:13 The Role of AI in Weather Forecasting47:57 The Importance of Meteorological WorkforceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of The Deep, Erika discusses the rise and fall of climate alarmism. She dives into the history of the "global warming" apocalypse narrative, and turns to John Paul II to gain a proper human-centered approach to environmentalism.

Guests: Dr. Steven Ackerman and Dr. Jonathan MartinFor most of us, weather talk is a quick chat about the weekend forecast or a snowy commute. But in Wisconsin, “The Weather Guys” have turned those conversations into something much bigger — a beloved radio show that brings science, stories, and a touch of humor to the airwaves. For years, they've been breaking down everything from blizzards to climate change, making meteorology both accessible and fun. Today, we'll sit down with Dr. Steven Ackerman and Dr. Jonathan Martin to hear how their show began, what keeps listeners tuning in, and why Wisconsin weather makes for some of the best conversations around.Chapters00:00 The Birth of Weather Talk00:45 How They Became Weather Geeks03:02 Research Insights and Contributions08:08 Engaging the Public Beyond Academia11:44 Break 111:45 The Importance of Public Engagement14:12 The Dynamics of Show Planning15:29 Memorable Questions from Callers17:00 Balancing Complexity in Communication18:38 Break 218:40 Wisconsin Weather: A Unique Landscape21:30 The Changing Landscape of Weather Communication24:35 Advice for Young Meteorologists27:21 The Future of Weather and AISee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITA sticky bathroom floor, a suspicious squish underfoot, and suddenly we're playing detective with a leaky ice maker hiding behind the kitchen wall. That mini-crisis becomes a surprisingly useful reminder about catching small problems fast—spot the clues, shut the valve, call the help, and save the floorboards. From there we pivot to a sold-out sensation at Düsseldorf's Kunstpalast: a “grumpy guide” who roasts museum visitors as a performance. He keeps it impersonal but sharp, proving that a little friction can make art feel alive. When the barrier between performer and crowd disappears, curiosity spikes, questions sharpen, and the room wakes up.With the holidays approaching, we shift gears into practical mode with an ER doctor's top five Thanksgiving injuries and how to avoid them. We break down the sneaky culprits—knife cuts, oven and fryer burns, backyard football mishaps, head injuries from falls, and stomach woes from overeating—and offer clear, simple ways to minimize the risk. Think focus over frenzy in the kitchen, practice new tools before the big day, respect heat and hot oil, stretch before you sprint, clear walkways for kids and older guests, and keep a small home kit ready: bandages, gauze, antibiotic ointment, and indigestion meds. Small steps, big payoff.We close with food joy: a love letter to corn casserole and those sweet potato “dumplings” wrapped in crescent dough and bathed in cinnamon-sugar syrup—dangerously close to dessert and absolutely worth it. Along the way, you'll get stories, safety tips, and a nudge to prepare without losing the fun.

Guest: Tom Johnson – Founder of We Are Nature BasedHost: Tom Constable (co‑founder of The Grange Project)Episode overviewIn this special episode, Tom Constable talks to flood‑management expert Tom Johnson about the catastrophic flooding that recently hit Monmouthshire and large parts of Wales. We explore what drove the event, whether it was simply a natural flood or part of a climate‑induced trend, and what practical solutions exist to reduce future risk. This conversation is grounded in both data and lived experience; it also responds to a social‑media debate where some posts dismissed any link between climate change and flooding.About Tom Johnson:Founder of We Are Nature Based, a community interest company that helps water companies, local authorities and land managers adopt natural flood management techniques.Works across the UK integrating nature‑based solutions with traditional (grey) infrastructure, including leaky woody dams, tree planting and wetland creation.Previously collaborated with the Grange Project to install around 50 leaky woody structures in their stream – an effort that Tom Constable credits with slowing water on the farm.Episode highlights:[00:00] Introduction & purpose – Host Tom Constable explains the devastating floods that struck Monmouthshire and his aim to explore whether the floods are climate‑induced or natural.[01:50] Acknowledging the impact – Guest Tom Johnson sends sympathies to affected communities, noting the hardship and setting the tone for a thoughtful discussion.[03:20] Why Tom Johnson? – Tom Johnson outlines his credentials as the founder of We Are Nature Based and his expertise in natural flood management.[04:30] What happened? Rainfall & river levels – The conversation turns to the flood statistics: nearly 120 mm of rain fell in 12 hours (more than 10 % of the annual average) and the River Monnow's defences were overtopped.[06:30] Are floods climate‑induced? – Tom Johnson explains that while floods are natural, the frequency of heavy rainfall and droughts is increasing due to climate change.[09:00] Land use, soils & runoff – They discuss how centuries of land drainage, river straightening and intensive farming have compacted soils and accelerated runoff; Tom uses a dried‑out sponge analogy to describe baked soils repelling water.[13:00] Dredging vs. slowing the flow – A pragmatic discussion on dredging where it's needed and why slowing the flow with leaky dams, ponds and vegetation is often a better approach.[16:00] Grange Project anecdote & climate projections – Tom Constable shares how hedgerows, tussocky grass and woody debris have slowed runoff on his farm; Tom Johnson discusses predictions of more flash‑flood events in Wales.[19:00] Beyond higher walls: budgets & catchments – They question the wisdom of endlessly raising flood walls and advocate investing some flood‑defence budgets in catchment‑wide natural solutions.[22:00] Policy & planning recommendations – Tom Johnson suggests permeable paving for new developments, smart rainwater butts, incentives for farmers to hold water on their land, and integrated...

Guest: Ken BurnsHe's an Award-Winning Filmmaker known for his documentary films and television series, many of which chronicle American history and culture. Some of his most popular works include the Civil War, Baseball, Jazz, the National Parks, Prohibition, the Roosevelts, the Vietnam War, and Country Music. Behind the majestic shots and carefully chosen words, there's another character always in the frame: the weather. From outracing clouds to chasing snow that just won't fall, even filmmaker Ken Burns has learned that Mother Nature doesn't always take direction. While shooting his newest series The American Revolution, weather wasn't just a backdrop — it was a full-fledged co-star. Today, we'll talk with Ken about the challenges and surprises of filming history in real weather, how climate and geography shaped the American Revolution, and why sometimes the best storyteller is the sky.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Ken Burns and His Work01:10 The Role of Weather in Filmmaking02:22 The American Revolution: A Complex Narrative04:19 Challenges of Capturing Weather in Filmmaking07:14 The Importance of Authenticity in Storytelling09:36 Weather's Impact on Historical Events12:13 Technological Advancements and Their Influence14:27 The Unpredictability of History17:31 The Drama of Real Weather in StorytellingSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

One familiar with the Urantia Book knows the inter-lapping connection between the Urantia Book and the Bible. But Why?Why did the writers of the Urantia Book go to extra lengths to clarify Hebrew-and later, the Christian teachings to the esclsuion of th eother world religions? Why does the Urabtia Book spend over 700 pages on Jesus, and yet the UB is not considered a Christian document?That is the subject of this episode of the Urantia Book. It leads to a greater discussion to how the Urantia Book teachings could be the key to an energized modern upgrade of Christian thought.In our discussion:- The legend of Adam and Eve, and the Garden Eden explained- The Floods and NoahWho Was Katro of the Kenites?- The Story of Melchizedek, Abraham and Moses- Who were the Prophets and what made the Hebrews so special?

Satellite Tracking Reveals Increased Global Population Exposure to Floods (2000–2018). Professor Beth Tellman (Chief Science Officer and co-founder of Cloud to Street; Professor at the University of Arizona geography) discusses her peer-reviewed study, published in Nature magazine, using satellite imaging from NASA's Aqua and Terra satellites, equipped with the MODIS optical sensor, to track global flood events. This systematic mapping provides hard data of actual events, augmenting the global flood database, covering 913 observed flood events between 2000 and 2018. Her research identified an increase of up to 24% in the proportion of the population exposed to floods, indicating people are moving faster into flood plains than the general population growth rate. Limitations of the data include satellites being blocked by cloud cover and difficulty tracking sudden events like dam breaks or pluvial events. A significant concern is the underreporting bias of damaging floods in regions like sub-Saharan Africa. 1913 DAYTON

Guest: Alex TomoffWhen you think of weather and meteorology, you probably picture storm chasers, satellites, or your local forecast. But what about chocolate? At Mars, Inc. — the company behind favorites like M&M's and Snickers — weather isn't just background noise, it's a critical part of the business. From the cocoa fields that depend on rainfall, to the sugar supply impacted by drought, to the logistics of getting chocolate safely from factory to shelf, weather touches every step. And standing at that intersection is today's guest: Alex Tomoff, the meteorologist of Mars, Inc. We'll find out how forecasting shapes the future of candy, agriculture, and sustainability — and yes, even your sweet tooth.Chapters00:00 The Intersection of Weather and Chocolate01:46 Alex Tomoff's Journey to Meteorology04:38 Day-to-Day as a Meteorologist at Mars, Inc.07:44 Understanding Key Ingredients: Cocoa, Sugar, and Peanuts10:50 Break 110:52 Climate Change and Its Impact on Cocoa Production13:40 Logistics and Supply Chain Challenges16:29 Weather Risk Communication in the Private Sector20:25 Break 220:27 Sustainability Initiatives at Mars, Inc.22:35 Innovations in Agriculture and Climate Resilience25:24 The Role of Technology in Weather Forecasting28:27 Advice for Aspiring MeteorologistsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
