The journalism style guide mandates 100% of stories be tied to the ClimateCrisis. So here we are – Barbie’s fictional home must be redesigned to survive the ClimateCrisis. Seriously!
Reporter self destructs in just 3 sentences, writing contradictory statements. The FAA temporarily suspended flights at Phoenix due to a telecommunications problem at Albuquerque Center located in New Mexico, having nothing to do with heat in Phoenix. But the reporter, incredibly, tries to link the temporary ground stop to temperatures in Phoenix. Oh my.
“Where carbon emissions are skyrocketing: All 50 states ranked”. With a headline like that, it must be that emissions are skyrocketing in all states! Actually, they are declining – by quite a bit – in almost all states! And that’s based on the numbers in the story!
When the air temperature is hot, but not unusually hot, switch to reporting on the summertime ground surface temperature (80C/180F) – it’s a bigger and scarier number than the air temperature so go for it! But it, alas, it is actually a normal summertime land surface temperature and has been for years and years. But the Doomers at parody news site The Guardian know that their readers don’t know that.
Rather than stick with facts, logic and reasoned arguments, the media has gone full yellow journalism, using exaggeration and hyperbole to sell eyeballs to advertisers. They’ve dived so far into nonsense territory as to render their climate reporting pointless, resulting in their message being tuned out.
