The power and foolishness of democracy lies therein. A good story is more motivating that the complicated truths of life. It is probably better for all of us to link every tornado and hurricane to climate change in a neat little story than refrain from doing so because we cannot link the particular storm on man-made climate change. The story has power to effect positive change.

- anamax 5y ago> It is probably better for all of us to link every tornado and hurricane to climate change in a neat little story And then when someone points out that the number of severe tornados per year was larger a couple of decades ago .... Thanks to improvements in monitoring equipment, we know about tornados and hurricanes now that we wouldn't have recorded before.
- SubiculumCode 5y agoTrue. Yet, misinformation persists and tends to be as or more motivating that the truth.
