An absolutely spectacular example of science, and specifically, weather related journalism. Firstly, the video (at just over seven minutes in length) is excellent and definitely worth watching as complementary to the rest of the reporting. The correspondent, whose specialty is this field, does yeoman's service in delving deeply into the matter at hand. Additionally, the questions posed by the other journalist, while mildly formulaic, nevertheless are pointedly relevant and important. The title of the piece is a bit misleading. However, not in an untoward way. The write-up is chockablock with information and notably the links thereto themselves bear viewing and provide valuable context. An undeniably interesting and worthwhile work of reportage. Five stars!
