It helps kids discover how to be whatever 3 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 1: they want to be growing up. 4 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 2: Well following up shine, owing up up side? 5 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 1: Hey, Winston, have you ever heard of tornado Alley? 6 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,959 Speaker 2: I don't think so, Emily, but it sounds a lot 7 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 2: like a carnival ride to me. 8 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: It kind of does. But if you really want to 9 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: know what tornado Alley is, come join us as we 10 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: weather the wonderful world of meteorologists. 11 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 2: All right, Emily, I looked up at the sky this 12 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 2: morning and the sun is shining bright. So I packed 13 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 2: up for our picnic in the park. I've got a blanket, 14 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 2: some sandwiches, fruit cups for desserts, and even a frisbee 15 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 2: in case we designed to What was that? Uh? 16 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: Oh, it sounds like it's gonna rain, Winston. I'm not 17 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 1: sure we'll be having our picnic today after all. 18 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 2: No way, it didn't look like rain this morning. It 19 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,119 Speaker 2: was so sunny out. 20 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 1: Oh well, it's definitely coming down out there now. 21 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 2: Ah man. I've been excited about this picnic for days. 22 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 2: I even picked out the best picnic spot in the park, 23 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 2: underneath that big pine tree that always says the squirrels 24 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 2: running up and down it. 25 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 1: Oh sorry, Winston, I was excited too. I've been so 26 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: busy that I forgot to check the meteorologists forecasts. 27 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 2: Who's it? What's it? Sow? 28 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: Oh you never heard of a meteorologist? 29 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 2: Well, is that like a person who makes sure big 30 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 2: scary meteors fall from the sky and swam under the earth. 31 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: Oh no, not exactly, But now that you mention it, 32 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: the word meteorologist does come from a Greek word that 33 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: means things in the air meteoron and logos, which means 34 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: two study meteor a logists. 35 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 2: Oh so meteorologists study things in the air, like birds 36 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 2: or planes or Superman. 37 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: Well, actually, Wincent, meteorologists study the weather. It's their job 38 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: to find clues that might tell them what the weather 39 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: will be like days in advance, and then to tell 40 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: the rest of us if it looks like it'll be sunny, rainy, windy, 41 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: or if a storm's coming. 42 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 2: They find clues. So meteorologists are kind of like, uh, 43 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 2: weather detectives. 44 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great way to put it. And even 45 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 1: if you've never heard of the word meteorologist, I know 46 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: that you've seen them. 47 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 2: I have. Well, where would I have seen a meteorologist. 48 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: I should be able to show you right now, Wincon. 49 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 1: Could you hand me the remote control for the TV. 50 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 2: Pleasepe here you go, Emily. 51 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: Today's weather forecast has a last minute cold front that's 52 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 1: bringing in gusty winds and heavy rain for the remainder 53 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: of the afternoon. 54 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 2: No, the weather reporter the news. I see her every 55 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 2: morning when I'm eating my breakfast and having my cereal. 56 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 2: She stands in front of a big map and waves 57 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 2: a special wand to point out the rain, sun or clouds. 58 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 2: So you're saying she's a meteorologist. 59 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: The weather reporters on the news are an example of 60 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: one type of meteorologists. Yes, but there are so many. 61 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: Some work in nature, studying the weather in different parts 62 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: of the world, like the desert or the middle of 63 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: the ocean. 64 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 2: But I wonder how they know what the weather will 65 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 2: be like days from now, Emily. It's like they have 66 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 2: powers to let them see into the future. 67 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: Well, how do you guess what the weather will be 68 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: like on any given day, Winston? 69 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 2: Well, I might stick my head outside to see if 70 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 2: it's cold and if I need to wear a jacket, 71 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 2: or I'll look up at the sky to see if 72 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 2: it's sunny or cloudy, or if it looks like it 73 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 2: might rain. But I was obviously wrong today because it's 74 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 2: raining now, even though it was very sunny this morning. 75 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: Oh that's okay, Winson. I'll find us somewhere nice and 76 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: sunny to have our picnic. Besides, the weather can be 77 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: very complicated and it changes all the time. Even professional 78 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: weather people aren't right one hundred percent of the time, 79 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: but they do the best they can to predict the 80 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: weather with the help of special instruments and also by 81 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,119 Speaker 1: doing what you do? 82 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 2: What I do? What do you mean, Emily, Well. 83 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: When you look up in the sky and see clouds 84 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: that are, say, gray and kind of heavy, you might 85 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: think that. 86 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 2: It's gonna rain, So I wear rain boots and take 87 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 2: an umbrella with me that day. 88 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 1: Exact Mundo. You know that dark clouds usually mean rain, right, 89 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: so you plan for that kind of weather. Meteorologists also 90 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: look for familiar patterns in the sky, using special instruments 91 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: to try and guess what the weather will be like 92 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: hours or days from now. 93 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 2: Oh, I get it. So weather people look for patterns 94 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 2: in the clouds and the wind to figure out what 95 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 2: the weather is going to do next. 96 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: Yep, And they've been doing this for centuries. 97 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 2: But we didn't have TVs back then, at least I 98 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 2: think we didn't, or fancy weather equipment. 99 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: That's true. But there were other ways to figure out 100 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: the changing weather patterns. 101 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, like what you know. I had a friend 102 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 2: whose parrot would go crazy every time it was about 103 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 2: ter rain. He'd be like what and then try to 104 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 2: hide in the back of his cage. It's like the 105 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 2: parrot was psychic or something. 106 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: He yes, Winson. Back in the day, people could watch 107 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: animals and insects to find warnings about changes in the weather. 108 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: Animals are just more sensitive to changes in weather than humans. 109 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: For example, birds flying low to look for shelter mint 110 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 1: watch out a storm is approaching. 111 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 2: Oh that's so cool. Animals are so smart. 112 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, they sure are. Another way that people learned about 113 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: the weather hundreds of years ago was from the wisdom 114 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: of elders in their communities. 115 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 2: Huh the elders mm. 116 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 1: Hmm, grannies and grandpas who lived in the same place 117 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 1: for a long time and took notes tout the weather patterns. 118 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 1: One of the first known grandpa weather watchers was an 119 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: astronomer called Vaha. He lived in India over twenty five 120 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: hundred years ago. 121 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 2: Wow, Emily, this story goes way back. Yep. 122 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: So the hus job as an astronomer was to study 123 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: the stars, and since he was spending all the time 124 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: looking up at the sky, he started noticing all the 125 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: crazy cool patterns that the clouds were making, and he 126 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: realized that by studying the clouds he could work out 127 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: what the weather was going to be like that week. 128 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 2: Oh wow, stargazer and weather wizard, that's a pretty cool 129 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 2: business card. And it's kind of like what meteorologists still 130 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 2: do today, look up in the sky for patterns. 131 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: Well, scientists have developed lots of tools and equipment that 132 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 1: help us better predict the weather. 133 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 2: What kind of tools, Emily, Like telescopes that help us 134 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 2: see the clouds a lot better. 135 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: Actually, yes, but there are other devices that help us too, 136 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: like thermometers and barometers. 137 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 2: Well, I definitely know what thermometers are. They measure how 138 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 2: hot or cool that is outside, right. 139 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: That's right, And barometers measure air temperature. For example, in 140 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: the winter, if a barometer rides is it usually means 141 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: that there's going to be snow in the next few days. 142 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: And if a barometer drops suddenly, it can be a 143 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: sign that a tornado is on the way. 144 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 2: A tornado yikes, tornado sounds so cool and scary at 145 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 2: the same time. But the weather people don't have to 146 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 2: go out into the tornado, do they? 147 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: Well, not necessarily, but some meteorologists specialize in chasing tornadoes 148 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: so that they can find out as much about them 149 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: as possible. 150 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 2: Chasing tornadoes, but they go so fast that sounds absolutely crazy. 151 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 2: Who would want to be so close to a tornado? 152 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: Well, Incent, there's actually a very well known famous meteorologist 153 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: who's one of the first tornado chasers ever. Want to 154 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: hear about them? 155 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 2: Uh? Yeah, I have to know more about a person 156 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 2: who thinks charging head first into a tornado. Oh is 157 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 2: a good. 158 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: Idea, I know what you mean. But what he discovered 159 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: ended up helping a lot of people. Now picture this Winston. 160 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: A long time ago, back in nineteen fifty three, a 161 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: man named ted Fujiita moved from Japan to the United States, 162 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: where he decided to study the weather. Smack dab in 163 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: the middle of tornado alley. 164 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 2: Tornado alley. I don't know where or what that is, 165 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 2: but I don't think I want to study there. 166 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: Tornado Alley is a big strip of land in the 167 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: middle of the United States where most of the tornadoes 168 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:34,959 Speaker 1: we get a. 169 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 2: Cur yikes, yeah, no, thank you. 170 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: Well, Ted wasn't your everyday meteorologists. He loved tornadoes. He 171 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: was fascinated by them, and he wanted to understand them 172 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 1: and unravel their secrets, and in doing so he became 173 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: one of the first ever tornado experts. 174 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 2: Well how to do that, Emily. 175 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: He jumped in his car and he chased every tornado 176 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: he could find, and he wrote down every single detail 177 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: about each one. 178 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 2: Wasn't he afraid of getting two close to them? 179 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: Well, I'm sure he was at times, Winston, but he 180 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 1: was also on a mission to learn as much as 181 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: he possibly could about them. So he drive as close 182 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: as possible to take pictures and videos, and he ended 183 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: up making some interesting discoveries like one, Emily, like what 184 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: he saw that tornadoes weren't just one big twister, They 185 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: actually had many little twisters inside them. He called it 186 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,599 Speaker 1: multiple vortex tornadoes. 187 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 2: Oooh, multiple vortex tornadoes sounds like something out of a 188 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 2: science fiction movie. So did mister Tornado make tornadoes less 189 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 2: scary for people? 190 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, I think so Winston. Thanks to his curiosity 191 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: and his hard work, we now know more about these 192 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: spinning storms than ever before. 193 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 2: I'm glad there's people like Ted out there, Emily and 194 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,319 Speaker 2: all the other weather people who helped to keep us safe. 195 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 2: It'd be crazy being a weather person out in the wild. 196 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 2: But I don't know. I'm kind of torn between working 197 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 2: outside or in the comfort of a newsroom. 198 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: Actually, Winson, I want to show you some of the 199 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: tools that whether people use out in the field and nature. 200 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 2: That sounds great, All right, let's do it. 201 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: Okay, but you might want to grab a heavy coat. 202 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 2: Oh a good idea, okay, Emily, but uh, why. 203 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 1: You'll soon find out hold on tight. 204 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 2: Where are we? Oh? 205 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: I should have warned you now. It would be a 206 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: good time to put that coat on, Winson, because we 207 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: are in Antarctica, the southernmost continent that's at the bottom 208 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: of the world. 209 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 2: Oh oh, wonder they keep it down here. It's freezing 210 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 2: and all I can see is snow and ice for 211 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 2: miles in every direction. So what are we? What are 212 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 2: we doing here? 213 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: I want to show you another kind of job that 214 00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: meteorologists do. 215 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I would freeze until you turn into a 216 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 2: human popsicle. 217 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,839 Speaker 1: Here, Zip up, you'll feel so much better. 218 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 2: Thanks, Emily. That's better. Hey, check it out. There's a 219 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:17,079 Speaker 2: tiny orange dot going up that hill. Is that a person? 220 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it looks like it. Whincent a meteorologist? I 221 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: guess do you hear that? 222 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 2: It sounds like that guy's fixing something on that tower. 223 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: I bet you're right. There are no repair people way 224 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: out here in the middle of nowhere, so it's the 225 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: meteorologist's job to fix any sensors that get messed up 226 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:37,439 Speaker 1: by the extreme weather. 227 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 2: Go gotcha very cold? I mean cool. 228 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: Another neat thing about meteorologists is that there are over 229 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty weather stations across the United States 230 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: and hundreds more across the world to help meteorologists learn 231 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,439 Speaker 1: more about the climate. And because of climate change, the 232 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 1: weather and the climates have been acting a lot more 233 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,119 Speaker 1: strangely in recent years. 234 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I've heard of climate change, I think, but 235 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 2: what does that really mean? 236 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: Climate change is when the Earth's temperature gets hotter because 237 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: of too much pollution in the air. It can make 238 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: the weather act funny and cause problems for people, animals, 239 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: and nature. So meteorologists have been watching for those changes 240 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 1: and learning how to keep the planet safe. 241 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 2: WHOA, that's a big job. And where else do meteorologists 242 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 2: work besides news and weather stations, Emily. 243 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: Some work for the government or in research institutions. Some 244 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: study the weather at universities, or some work in research 245 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 1: labs to create new tools and instruments. 246 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 2: Huh, I bet you've got to be super smart to 247 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 2: try and out smart the weather. 248 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 1: Well that's all the time we have on grown Up Today. 249 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 2: Oh wow. I don't know about you, Emily, but I 250 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:50,079 Speaker 2: was blur. 251 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: Away me too.
