The Weather Channel flooded Charleston.

A mixed-reality segment from the Weather Channel puts meteorologist Jen Carfagno in the very-flooded year of 2100.

“We’re always trying to figure out a way to tell climate change in a way that resonates with people, and it’s extremely difficult,” says Nick Weinmiller, Weather Channel creative art director. “People tend to ignore things that aren’t happening right now, where they can’t quantify how it’s affecting them. We’re constantly trying to find that story for climate change that can get people to understand what’s going on and to listen to the science.”
