Easy win for a millionaire/billionaire wanting to do more on climate action: fund an X-prize for meteorologist/UX designer teams to come up with a better format for daily TV and app-based weather reporting.

Weather forecasts in the news are okay to help promote 1-3 day = preparedness but talk about climate in very unilluminating ways. Who came up with the dumb idea of tracking "record" temperatures in convoluted sportsball ways?

Hard part is implementation within the kind of organizational setting which would enable that material to reach an audience. Designers also might be cynical in some cases about unpaid time spent developing a contest entry.

Meh, no. They all use the same source weather data anyway so could set up a disruptor weather channel etc. "Unpaid time spent developing a contest entry" is not unique to designers in such schemes, though the excessive whining about it is.
