- Here’s a typical recent propaganda headline: “Climate change made Libya flooding 50 times more likely: Report.” This is not so.
- Here’s another recent one from PBS: “Climate change made global summer droughts 20 times more likely” Also not true.
- The Guardian, recent: “Current heatwave across US south made five times more likely by climate crisis.” Nope.
- AP, recent: “Heat wave in Asia made 30 times more likely because of climate change, scientists say“. Nuh-uh.
The genre is now routine.
Indeed, headlines like these are now seen whenever a weather-related event classified as “bad”, like a flood, is identified.
Once the event is tagged, somebody rushes to microphone and says “climate change” did it...
