Iowa Meteorologist Quits Career After Climate Change Threat

Iowa meteorologist Chris Gloninger is resigning from his position at CBS affiliate KCCI after receiving a death threat over his coverage of climate change. Gloninger, who has been a meteorologist for 18 years, will join consulting organization Woods Hole Group as a senior scientist, where he will remain focused on climate change and providing risk communication with communities as they prepare for its effects. The negative emails Gloninger received had a cumulative effect on his mental health, leaving lingering trauma that he said he's still processing.
