Earlier this year, the Trump administration removed a chapter on climate change from a manual used by judges, prosecutors and defense attorneys “to better interpret the scientific complexities of the cases before them.” For those of us who don’t believe in coincidence, the response to that removal offers a textbook case of how liberal climate crusaders and their media allies spring into action to rescue a struggling leftwing cause.
First, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, a non-governmental institution, soon issued a report designed to advance the cause of “extreme event attribution,” a questionable scientific premise designed to point fingers at specific corporations and activities based on how much they contribute to worsening weather calamities.
Second, left-wing media, led, as usual, by the Democratic Party’s top communications tools such as the New York Times, produced stories on the report, kicking off the echo chamber of coverage designed to legitimize the finding, alarm the public and amplify the call to arms.
