Hey all, thanks for listening. The meteorologist John Morales went viral for crying on national television while reporting on the development of Hurricane Milton. “I think the most surprising thing I saw from this viral moment was the way that younger generations suddenly felt represented by this baby boomer,” John says in an audio essay. “You have to realize that in the lead-up to that moment, I had been thinking of climate change, the impacts of it on our planet for decades,” he adds. “So if this baby boomer is feeling those same feelings that the younger generations are, I think this is an opportunity for us to think about talking about this climate crisis more often.”
