I love the idea of integrating climate change context into the weather report and more pop culture generally. We can’t expect everyone to seek it out given the stresses of daily life, even as we need everyone to learn more about it.
Springer just published a book on California's weather and changing climate: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-32273-0 -- the authors are meteorologists. I am working with an author on a more general reader friendly book about California weather that also discusses climate change that comes out next summer -- hopefully if we can get the weather experts and amateur storm chasers to talk about climate change when they talk storms and weather, it will seep out to the general public from there!

Great idea mentioning climate with weather!
That bar graph 📊 as background! très brillant.
Thanks for putting together another piece of the puzzle!
I read an interesting piece last year that strongly agreed with you about the efficacy of this approach, though I know of at least one weatherperson lost their job b/c their advocacy for the truth was seen as too out of step with locals: https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2022/02/weatherman-climate-change/621630/
