I agree. I think man-made climate change is looking pretty good as a hypothesis, but there is a lot of noise in the media about personally observing climate change that strikes me as phony. One specific example of this is hurricane season in 2017, which many news sources have frequently linked to global warming. I'm not saying it's impossible that there's a connection, but based on my understanding (pretty much just this [0]), this is not something anyone should be speaking confidently about. A lot of people seem to have an "ends justify the means" perspective about this stuff: that being right in general about global warming gives them the right to exaggerate in order to stimulate a public response. I'm not really comfortable with that thinking. [0] https://www.gfdl.noaa.gov/global-warming-and-hurricanes/ https://www.gfdl.noaa.gov/global-warming-and-hurricanes/
