Is cold weather proof that climate change isn’t real? In this episode of STEM to Stern, Chauntée and Jake tackle one of the most persistent misconceptions in science: confusing weather with climate.
Join us as we unpack why extreme events like snowstorms or heatwaves don’t disprove climate change – and how rising sea levels, shifting agricultural yields, and increased storm intensity are the real indicators we should be watching. With clarity, humor, and science-backed discussion, we connect the dots between human behavior, global impact, and how educators can empower the next generation to take informed action.
Whether you're a STEM educator, student, or curious listener, this episode will help sharpen your climate literacy and spark new conversations in your classroom or community.
