NASA's Meteorologist Center: Online Resources to Promote Climate Literacy
Abstract
In a recent survey by George Mason University, a significant number of meteorologists and weathercasters in America cited lack of access to appropriate visuals and graphics as a basic impediment to reporting the reality of anthropogenic climate change. To address this need, NASA's Global Climate Change Website, climate.nasa.gov, has developed an online Meteorologist Center, stocked with high quality graphics and animations, public education materials, and a list of credible online resources. The goal of the project is to provide weathercasters with a "one-stop shop" for broadcast-ready materials that can be used to report on global climate change and to educate audiences.;
