The Chicago Tribune failed in its journalistic duty of producing a story grounded in facts. Instead of merely reporting on the danger and human interest aspects of the recent severe storms, they attempted to fearmonger people into believing extreme weather is getting worse due to climate change. It’s not, as historical observational weather data show that there is no sustained trend of worsening storms. The computer model projections the Chicago Tribune cited as showing climate change-worsened weather are not much better than the simulations produced by fantasy computer games.
