I find this article extremely ironic and one-dimensional because LA is currently having a record setting year for cold. As someone convinced by the science of climate change, I’m now increasingly skeptical of how the media portrays its nuance and uncerainty, particularly at the localized and regional level. It would not surprise me at this point to find out in years’ time that a place like LA cools dramatically because of second and third order effects on precipitation that were not accurately accounted for while the planet overall still warms. And I think that’s what makes the kind of prescriptivism of this article a bit nauseating. I’m down to prevent the poor and elderly from dying of heatstroke but I question the rhetoric of this article in the way it is argued.
