I welcome back to DITD Jeff Masters of the Yale Climate Connection.

Jeff Masters, worked as a hurricane scientist with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters from 1986-1990. He has a Ph.D. in air pollution meteorology from the University of Michigan.

In 1995, he co-founded the Weather Underground weather channel. He also was creator of the Category 6 blog, one of the Internet's most popular and widely quoted sources of extreme weather and climate change. What with all this worrisome heat and rain and extreme weather we’ve been experiencing, I thought it would be a good time to check in with Jeff.
