Weather & Climate: Do weather forecasts have to address the climate crisis?

2021-09-14T10:34:25.121Z


Does the weather report have to talk about climate? ZDF weather expert Özden Terli says: absolutely. In this podcast episode, he says which phenomena can already be used to read global warming.


The weather report should provide quick information about the weather situation in the coming hours or days.

The very large meta-level is usually dispensed with.

But the huge floods of the last few weeks have shown that our weather is changing;

extreme events such as heat waves or heavy rain are becoming more common.

The climate crisis is to blame for this, as meteorologists largely agree.

But only very few address the climate in their forecasts.

Özden Terli does it differently on ZDF, where he focuses on global warming and its impact on our weather.

“Whenever there is a weather event where it is appropriate, it has to be said.

I now believe that people are very sensitive to it and know exactly what is going on, «says Özden Terli in this podcast episode.

“I think the viewers understand that very well and that this information belongs there.

In the weather report, because the weather is directly related to the impact of the climate. "

The fact that Terli uses the weather report to explain the consequences of global warming does not suit everyone.

The "Bild" newspaper, for example, tried to initiate a debate, suspecting political influence was behind the clarification.

So we're talking about facts here, we're talking about connections that can no longer be ignored.

We just saw her this year.

Extreme weather everywhere, ”says Terli in the podcast.

“They're trying to create a mood.

Against science, against scientists. "

How reliable are long-term forecasts about the weather?

Which weather phenomena can be used to determine the climate of the future today?

This is what this week's "Climate Report" is about, our podcast on the climate crisis with ZDF weather presenter Özden Terli.
