Spin Cycle: How the Media Portrays Climate Change

In this Pennsylvania State University program, Paul Knight and Fred Gadomski, meteorologists and senior lecturers at Pennsylvania State University, engage in a conversation on the frequency of catastrophic and dramatic weather events, the medias interpretation of weather statistics and what is really going on behind heated debates over the climate. As hosts of the show 'Weather World,' Gadmoski and Knight help sort out the facts, and the fallacies, behind weather headlines.

Although a meteorologist by trade, Paul is the Pennsylvania State Climatologist.

These guys are meteorologists

I'd love to see a rational discussion between meteorologists and climatologists

Who interpretations of similar data seems to vary greatly

I agree with Paul more than Fred, here
