KCCI’s (Des Moines) Chief Meteorologist says that he is leaving the station after getting death threats.

Chris Gloninger says he’s leaving due to a past death threat he said stemmed from his coverage of climate change.

A year ago, Gloninger posted on social media, "My climate coverage has garnered negative feedback. But last month I received the first threat, followed by a flow of harassing emails. Police are investigating. It's mentally exhausting and at times I have NOT been ok. If you're facing this and need someone to talk to, I'm here."

Gloninger leaves after just two years at the station.
