NPR is continuing its mania over the climate change boondoggle, which evokes a sense of relief that it’s no longer peddling this lefty tripe at the expense of the taxpayers.
NPR senior climate editor Sadie Babits published an audacious piece of run-of-the-mill eco-propaganda August 25 headlined, “Did climate change cause this heat wave? Most likely, and here’s why.”
Her argument: We’re all cooked — literally! “Dangerous record-breaking heat will continue across the South-Central U.S. and expand into the Southwest by mid-week, bringing daytime temperatures into the triple digits,” she screeched. She continued her spin, “Scientists are increasingly able to make the connection between the extreme weather you’re experiencing — in this case, heat — and climate change. They can also show by just how much.”
What “scientists” did she specifically reference in her piece? Oh, just the “modeling happy” World Weather Attribution group, which Climate Depot founder Marc Morano retorted in comments to MRC Business “ claims they can scientifically link a heat wave or a bad weather event to man-made climate change using unverified and self-tuned computer models.” But what more can you expect of the author of the cringeworthy, brain-washing work, “Hot Takes: Every Journalist’s Guide to Covering Climate Change?”
She even made a point to vaunt her NPR bona fides as if that somehow lent her some kind of sagely credence on climate science:
As the senior climate editor at NPR, I often send out guidance to the NPR newsroom during extreme weather to help other editors and reporters understand the role of climate change.Now, as large regions of the U.S. are under threats from dangerous heat, you might be looking for that same context and information.”
Translation: Trust us, bro.
Morano tore Babit’s piece apart. “NPR is relentless in trying to tie any bad weather event to man-made climate change,” he rebuked. “Here they once again try to claim that we should trust The Science that humans are causing any given heat wave in the U.S.” In Morano’s estimation, “there are multiple problems with NPR’s claims.” Aside from their undue reliance on the WWA group, Morano also noted that Babits “conveniently ignores the entire EPA heat wave historical data that reveals the 1930s still reign supreme in the Heat Wave Index.” The irony is that Babits made it a point in telling readers, “Yes, temperatures will be hot, but pay attention to the heat index.”
