Everyone talks about the weather, few understand what’s really happening.

In this episode of Unbottled, Manuela sits down with Angie Lassman, certified broadcast meteorologist and environmental reporter at NBC News, to break down the science behind climate change — and why rising heat, extreme weather, and misinformation are reshaping everyday life across the U.S. 

Angie shares why clear, credible communication may be one of our most powerful climate tools.

In this conversation, you’ll learn:

• The real difference between weather and climate — and why confusing the two fuels misinformation
• Why extreme heat is one of the deadliest and most overlooked climate threats
• How climate change is already impacting health, housing, insurance, and infrastructure
• Why climate change feels so polarizing — and how trust in science has eroded
• What meteorologists and scientists need to do differently to communicate urgency without fear
• How misinformation spreads — and how to spot credible climate sources

Angie also shares her personal journey — from falling in love with science as a curious kid, to reporting from climate hotspots around the world — and why optimism, education, and action are essential in the face of accelerating change.

Because climate change isn’t a future problem.

It’s a systems problem — and it’s already shaping how we live.
