For the love of weather

By: Gemma Plumb & Aisling Creevey
  • Summary

  • Meet Gemma and Aisling. They have worked in the UK as meteorologists for over fifteen years. Gemma came up with the idea that maybe others might like to listen to the non stop conversations they still have all these years later about the weather. Over the years they have forecast for festivals, farming, road, rail, energy, media, aviation and even the humble ice cream demand forecast and so much more. They have gone through job changes, life changes and delved in and out of many hobbies and somehow the weather still weaves in and out of their lives. So this podcast is for anyone who would like to join our weather conversations and wherever the jet stream may take us! We hope you join us for our bi weekly chat and leave each episode loving the weather just that little bit more.

  • The Blue Earth Summit Part 2
    Nov 20 2024

    This is the second episode from the Blue Earth Summit 2024. Please check out our instagram feed @fortheloveofweather to get a flavour of what we got up to.

    We captured and shared as many speakers and guests as we could and yet again we were blown away by the amazing conversations we had and most importantly people’s willingness to give us their time to talk about what they were passionate about.

    The Blue Earth Summit is held over 3 days and plays host to 5,000+ decision makers, industry pioneers, provocative thought leaders, sustainability trailblazers, insightful solutions and boundary-pushing start ups. It’s the place to explore, meet, learn, collaborate and take action.

    In this episode of the podcast we speak to Avery Johnston from KPMG, Blue Earth Summit co-founder Linley Lewis, Ben Pollack from Climate Cartographic and interviewer Hannah MacInnes.

    Avery Johnstone is a manager in KPMG's Global Decarbonisation Hub. KPMG are doing work around story telling to bridge the gap between the decision makers in big business today and young people that are going to inherit those roles in the future.

    Avery has a powerful ethos about business and climate change. She says that that you don’t have to be a full time activist to impact change. People can use their autonomy, skill and education to make a difference - ‘Mobilising everyone is what we need’.

    You can find Avery Johnstone on LinkedIn.

    Linley Lewis COO & Co-Founder of the Blue Earth Summit. Linley and the founders saw an opportunity to bring his love of the outdoors and sustainable business and co-created the Blue Earth Summit.

    Linley talks a little about climate fatigue and how the Blue Earth Summit is designed to inspire and connect through motivational speaking while creating a space for sustainable business, start up’s and philanthropy.

    You can find Linley on LinkedIn.

    Our third guest is Ben Pollack a Co-Founder & Strategy Director of Climate Cartographics.

    Ben felt he needed a change in his career and drew on his love of the outdoors to harness his data skills to develop impactful visualisations of ecology and the environment. His business offers a design service for companies wanting to make impactful visualisations through using 3D modelling.

    Check out their website climatecartographis.com to find examples of their work. Ben is also on LinkedIn.

    Our final guest is Hannah MacInnes an interviewer at the Blue Earth Summit.

    Hannah talks about how important it is for all ages to be represented in climate from very young to very old.

    She remarks on the changing nature of audiences, mainly with audiences becoming younger but that we can still learn from older members of society and how it is deeply engrained in them to live within their means while having a huge respect for nature.
