Chris Gloninger spent the last 18 years breaking down Iowa’s latest local weather news. This week, he is making the news.

After spending the last two years as chief meteorologist at Des Moines news station KCCI, a CNN affiliate, Gloninger announced Wednesday he is resigning as one of the many faces of local TV weather.

Gloninger said he plans to “embark on a new journey dedicated to helping solve the climate crisis,” in addition to spending more time with family. His last day is on July 7. Climate communicators, journalists, meteorologists and national weather services, including those in the U.S., Spain and Australia, have reported an increase in harassment, threats and abuse for connecting extreme weather events to climate change.

Berardelli acknowledged it is hard to change the minds of those who deny climate science. Instead, he said he tries to educate those who are open to learning.
