CNN’s recent photo essay, “Striking images showing environmental destruction aim to ‘inspire action,’ ” claims that photographs of trash heaps, collapsing homes, and dust storms show the “devastating effects of climate change.” This is false. [emphasis, links added]
The images have nothing to do with climate change at all. They depict human-induced environmental degradation, poor land-use decisions, and poverty-related infrastructure collapse—none of which are climate-driven phenomena.
Evidence suggests CNN is once again substituting emotive imagery for science in furtherance of the narrative that climate change causes everything bad.
CNN’s short report discusses a pictorial presentation given at the Global Climate Alliance’s (GCA) Right Here, Right Now Summit, hosted to coincide with the UN World Environment Day conference from June 4 through June 7.
