CBS Spins False Narrative On Hurricane Helene And Trends, Ignores Real-World Data
by Linnea Lueken  Oct 1, 2024 in Extreme Weather, Media, News and Opinion Reading Time: 4 mins read
 
A recent broadcast weather segment on CBS News, Los Angeles, titled “Helene gaining strength from climate change effects,” features a staff meteorologist claiming that hurricane Helene was strengthened by climate change and that hurricanes are increasing in intensity and power. [emphasis, links added]

This is false.


It is shocking how wrong CBS is about what actual hurricane data shows, which is that hurricanes are not getting more intense, frequent, or powerful.

The CBS video description reads “…Helene is gaining strength from warmer waters in the Gulf of Mexico, an effect linked to climate change that appears to make hurricanes and storms more powerful.”

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

The "actual data" means nothing.
The [concocted] "narrative" means everything.

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
