BBC Try To Wriggle Out Of Extreme Weather Claims

You will recall this BBC article last month, which claimed in the opening paragraph:

Climate change has brought record-breaking heat this year, and with it extreme weather, from hurricanes to month-long droughts.

The report then went on to list a series of bad weather events, but failed to provide any evidence that these were anything other than natural events which happen all the time. Nor any evidence that such events have been getting more frequent or extreme over time.

I submitted a complaint, and have just received this response:

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
