If you like weather, you know Jim Cantore. He's been the face of The Weather Channel since the 1990s, earning the reputation as the guy who would go into the worst of the storm. I talk to him about those early days of cable TV, how we can shift the conversation on climate change and pollution, and what storm he's been in that actually scared him.
