Jeff worked as a hurricane scientist with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters from 86-90. He has a Ph.D. in air pollution meteorology from the University of Michigan. In 1995, he co-founded the Weather Underground weather channel. Jeff is my favorite meteorologist because he gives us a sober scientific analysis of the issues our planet faces.

Especially the storms out west in the pacific and closer to home our recent Nor'easter. The resource links on the Yale Climate Connections website that Jeff mentioned… "30 great tools to determine your flood risk in the U.S." and "What should you do to prepare for the climate change storm" can be found here and in my post of this episode of DITD on Apple Podcasts.
