NPR Pushes Weather Porn, Blames Climate Change For Weather-Disaster Deaths

National Public Radio (NPR) recently posted an article, “Climate change is deadly. Exactly how deadly?” where they attempt to link deaths due to weather disasters to long-term human-caused climate change. This is false. [emphasis, links added]
It is impossible to tie any particular extreme weather event to climate change, and long-term weather patterns have not significantly worsened during the modest warming of the past hundred-plus years.
In addition, the fossil fuel restrictions that NPR advocates would be disastrous for resilience to natural weather disasters.
NPR hardly even attempts to justify connecting disparate weather events to climate change. Rather, it [asserts that any] extreme weather is a “climate-driven disaster” and goes no deeper.
