In this episode of Climate Correction Podcast, Meteorologist Jeff Berardelli sheds light on the pressing issues surrounding climate change, with a specific focus on Florida. With his extensive background in meteorology, Jeff explores the intricate connections between human emissions, climate anomalies, and the growing risks Florida faces due to climate change.  Jeff begins by emphasizing the profound role human activity plays in the changing climate. He puts a spotlight on how carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels and deforestation are escalating the greenhouse effect, trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere. These emissions have far-reaching consequences, including rising global temperatures and increased weather extremes.  He shares the shocking truth that we have just surpassed the 2023 temperature limit of 1.5 degrees C above pre-industrial eras. This summer was the hottest on record due to an El Niño effect, which he describes extensively.   The discussion delves into the unsettling reality that climate and weather anomalies are becoming the new normal. Jeff illustrates how once-rare events, like rapidly intensifying hurricanes, record-breaking heatwaves, and rising sea levels are now more frequent and severe due to human-induced climate change. He stresses that these anomalies are not isolated incidents but part of a broader pattern that demands our immediate attention.  The state of Florida is uniquely vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. We learn that the Sunshine State is experiencing a rise in coastal flooding, stronger hurricanes, and blistering temperatures. Jeff paints a vivid picture of the increasing risks faced by Florida's residents, ecosystems, and economy, accentuating the urgent need for action.  Throughout the conversation, Jeff highlights that addressing climate change is not merely an environmental concern but a matter of economic and societal stability. He discusses strategies to mitigate these risks, including transitioning to clean energy sources, bolstering infrastructure resilience, and implementing sustainable land-use practices.  In conclusion, this episode of the Climate Correction Podcast with Jeff Berardelli illuminates the inextricable link between human emissions, climate anomalies, and the dire consequences facing Florida. It calls upon individuals, communities, and policymakers to take proactive steps to combat climate change and protect vulnerable regions like Florida from its rapidly escalating impacts.  Guest Bio  With over two decades of experience forecasting Florida's severe weather, Jeff Berardelli is WFLA News Channel 8's Chief Meteorologist, Climate Specialist, and leader of the Max Defender 8 Weather Team.   He has also served as CBS News Meteorologist and Climate Specialist, delivering weather for the network's CBS Mornings show. Jeff has worked as a climate correspondent traveling the country reporting on environmental stories and providing scientific analysis for various platforms.  Prior to that, he served as a lead meteorologist at WPEC in West Palm Beach, a weekend meteorologist at WFOR in Miami, and a weekend meteorologist at WCBS in New York City.  Berardelli has been obsessed with the weather all the way since the age of 3. He earned his bachelor's degree in Atmospheric Sciences from Cornell University in the 1990s. Recently, after witnessing the recent spike in extreme weather, he went back to school to study Climate, earning a master's degree in Climate and Society from Columbia University. He feels that as the climate continues to change, understanding and communicating the impact of extreme weather and society is an integral part of being a TV meteorologist today. 

Texas is entering its third week of a record-breaking heat wave where the heat index could top 120 degrees. And the sweltering weather is not limited to Texas. At least 45 million Americans across the southern U.S. were under heat advisories over the weekend and into Monday. Geoff Bennett discussed more with climate specialist and WFLA chief meteorologist Jeff Berardelli. PBS NewsHour is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders

The record-shattering ocean surface temperatures across the Atlantic over the last two weeks have shocked anyone paying attention to the climate crisis. Ocean surface temperatures are more than a degree Fahrenheit above previous records, and climate scientists hadn't expected this level of warming for decades, even in the worst case scenario models. But is there more to the story than human-caused climate change? Are there other factors contributing to this spike in ocean temperatures? How likely is it that the ocean has surpassed a tipping point that could spell disaster for marine life and all of the lifeforms that depend on a healthy marine ecosystem, including humans. Jeff Berardelli, WFLA's Chief Meteorologist and Climate Specialist joins The Climate Pod to answer these questions and explain global warming's impact on the warming oceans and the other causes of the extreme temperatures we're seeing. We also discuss El Nino's potential impact on 2023's extreme weather, the Texas heatwave, the early season hurricane forming in the Atlantic Ocean, and a little history behind Dr. Ed Hawkins' Climate Stripes as we celebrate International #ShowYourStripes Day. And Ty and Brock celebrate the 4 Year Anniversary of The Climate Pod and express their gratitude for the incredible guests that have appeared on the show.

After decades of denial and delay tactics by the fossil fuel industry, in 2021, America was largely unprepared for multiple climate-fueled extreme weather disasters. Wildfires. Heatwaves. Hurricanes. Droughts. Floods. Tornadoes. How did a warming planet impact these weather events? Why haven't America's leaders done more to combat the climate crisis? What are fossil fuel companies still doing to delay action?  We answer all of those questions and more in Part One of The Climate Pod's 2021 Year in Review: Denial and Consequences, featuring clips from interviews we've conducted with guests like Dr. Katharine Hayhoe, Dr. Ed Hawkins, Dr. Michael Mann, Dr. Jane Goodall, Dr. Andrew Dessler, David Wallace-Wells, Dr. Maria Neira, Dr. Peter Hotez, Dr. Naomi Oreskes, Ben Franta, Kathy Baughman-McCloud, Alex Steffen, Scott Kelly, Jeff Berardelli, Dr. Park Williams, and Tim Jackson.
