Another Media Outlet Caught Peddling Extreme Weather Tales
storm weather lightningA Wyoming Public Media article, titled “NOAA Upgrades Forecasts As Climate Change Drives More Severe Storms,†falsely claims climate change is making extreme weather events worse.
Scientific data, NOAA data, and even the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) dispute any claim that climate change “drives more severe storms,†as the article’s title asserts.
Initially, the article stuck to facts about NOAA’s new system.
“The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration upgraded the computer model that forecasters use to predict the weather one to two weeks in the future, called the Global Forecast System. The new model is better at predicting where hurricanes will form and how intense they will be as well as where and when snowstorms and rainstorms will occur, and how much precipitation will fall.â€
