MADISON (WKOW) — Bob Lindmeier, retired senior chief meteorologist at WKOW-TV, was honored with a climate award Tuesday on Earth Day at the station’s studio.

Lindmeier, who retired in December 2024 after 45 years in the broadcast industry, was presented with a Climate Coverage Champion Award from the local chapter of Citizens’ Climate Lobby. Madeleine Para, the chapter’s founder and former CCL executive director, presented the award to Lindmeier.

“Nobody deserves this more than Bob,” she said. 

The award recognizes Lindmeier’s work in educating the public about climate change. Lindmeier has given over 200 presentations on the subject throughout his career. He organized the first-ever climate change summit for Wisconsin weathercasters.

Upon receiving the award, Lindmeier thanked WKOW for supporting him as he spoke about climate change on air.

Citizens’ Climate Lobby is a nonpartisan grassroots advocacy group that educates the public about climate change and promotes policies to ensure a stable climate for future generations.
