    So just blanket attribute them to it.

    The media exaggerates and makes shit up all the time, at least this would be beneficial.

      I disagree with this. Don’t give deniers any more ammunition than they already have. There’s enough verifiable data on the topic that we don’t need to shoot ourselves in the foot by resorting to sloppy science.

      That said, I would love to see every news story end with: “In recent years there’s been a statically significant increase in severe weather due to climate change.”

        You’re worried the people who already ignore all the evidence and believe it’s all lies will, what exactly?

          People like that point at any article with weak data as validation that climate change has no basis. It’s better to not give them that opportunity.

            They don’t need that opportunity because they’ll just make shit up.

                Facts clearly don’t work.

                We’ve known them for over a century and done nothing.

                I’d rather see the media using its huge influence over the population to be at least be making them worried about climate change instead of ignoring it.

                  Again, there are many people that use the “doom and gloom” climate change prophecies that haven’t come true yet as an excuse to ignore the problem entirely. Better to be factual and correct.

        There was an article posted the other day about that. I agree. Various media outlets needs to start stepping up and getting loud about it.

        I love that idea. On TV weather, talk about it constantly.
