Kevin Hayes, executive editor of The Weather Channel, discusses the website's year-long climate change project. Highlighting stories from all 50 states, the project shows how communities are grappling with the impact of climate change.
Hayes says the project focuses on stories rather than facts because of how difficult it can be to understand climate science.
