>Yes, Climate Change Did Influence Australia’s Unprecedented Bushfires
>Such an extreme fire season is at least 30 percent more likely because of global warming, a new analysis finds
What? What am I missing here?
- ptsneves 7y agoBy making it more likely to occur?
- meowface 7y agoThat's not what the headline said, though.
- koheripbal 7y agoYeah, it's still statistically impossible to attribute individual events to Climate Change with any amount of confidence. Climate change is about global averages. It makes satisfying headlines to blame climate change, but it's poor science.
- meowface 7y agoIt's this sort of thing that makes climate change deniers even more emboldened in the conviction that they're right and that it's all a politically motivated hoax or whatever. It's extremely irresponsible. Especially because the headline directly contradicts the subheadline right below it.
