Commentary: Major news outlets and Democrats are pretending weather isn’t affected by climate

Context

Major news outlets are not fully reporting on the connection between climate change and extreme weather events. American networks are providing limited coverage of this issue, despite the growing scientific evidence. Evening news programs are leading with stories on extreme weather events, such as floods, droughts, fires, and storms, as well as coverage of bombings and attacks in Iran and the Gulf states.

The lack of reporting on climate change's impact on weather matters because it contradicts the increasing scientific understanding of this issue. Climate change is driving individual extreme weather events, and the science can now attribute the degree to which this is happening.
