‘Both-Sidesing the Climate Story’

“It is maddening that, this far into the #ClimateCrisis, #news outlets continue to dither as to whether a single #weather event is related to the now-undeniable, violent changes in Earth’s weather. …

“The overwhelming #ScientificConsensus is that Earth is #warming, that man-made causes are to blame, and that one result is more extreme weather precisely like what we’ve seen this week on the #WestCoast. And yet the search for definitive causation—for hard proof that global shifts in climate produced a single event in one corner of one town—has become an odious tendency among journalists looking to create tension when there is none.”
