It may be “media malpractice” to not mention climate change as a factor.
It is also media malpractice to shallowly attribute these events to climate change alone without looking at the many other human influences.

- zepto 5y ago> a few that aren't mentioned in the media yet. Silly straw man. Mentioned somewhere but ignored in most coverage in favor of just saying ‘climate change’.
- vanderZwan 5y agoIt's not a straw man when you're literally claiming the media isn't talking about those other issues, in response an article talking about how every possibly explanation gets mentioned except climate change to boot. On top of that, given that the main driver for these disasters is in fact climate change, focussing on everything else is like a doctor insisting on giving general health tips to a patient whose leg is broken while pretending to not see the latter.
