Gell-Mann Amnesia is the phenomenon where someone knowledgeable in a field will read an article touching on that field, see that it is fundamentally wrong, and realize that the credibility of the journalism is lacking... and immediately forget that credibility assessment immediately upon reading an article about some other field. Climate articles sometimes seem like the anti-Gell-Man. They confidently assert the most patent absurdities and clear falsehoods, and do so in such close proximity to their main findings that people can't help but notice that the one thing they have the knowledge to judge credibility on was entirely falsified. This leads to high levels of climate skepticism. What possible benefit could an author have sought by claiming that July will be the "hottest month ever"? Not only is it obviously false, but if true it would directly undermine the very concept of anthropogenic global warming.
