Iowa Meteorologist Resigns After Receiving Threats over Climate Change Coverage

From this:

When Iowa meteorologist Chris Gloninger got an email notification last June, it read: “Getting sick and tired of your liberal conspiracy on the weather.”

“What’s your address,” another asked Gloninger a few days later. “We conservative Iowans would like to give you an Iowan welcome you will never forget.”

Par for the course, especially in states like Iowa, where Trump won in 2020 by more than 8%.

One thing we need to admire about conservatives is their tenacity.  They have reached into essentially every area in which science impacts human well-being, and are doing their best to dismantle it.

And meteorologists in red states aren’t the only ones who risk their lives as part of their careers.  Think of election workers, school administrators, gun control advocates, union and community organizers, investigative journalists, and providers of abortions. How about epidemiologists?  How many thousands of death threats do you think Dr. Anthony Fauci received?
