Media: Bad reporting with numbers – “The fastest-growing cities face some of the biggest climate risks”
This Axios news report makes the classic reporter error – providing percentage increases without every providing a starting value. Does a scary +100% mean something increased from 1 to 2? We have no way of knowing.
Media invent scary term “Doomsday Glacier”
The media has run with this fake label “Doomsday Glacier” because it sounds scary, and the primary purpose of the media is to scare you to death which helps them get clicks and sell eyeballs to advertisers. The scientists do not like this label either.
“Climate change activists should take” lessons from public health mismanagement
Public health disastrous mismanagement – inconsistent, contradictory, incoherent, illogical and often untrue statements have destroyed not just confidence in public health but confidence in Science too.

An earlier claim from NOAA that July 2021 was the hottest month ever appears to no longer be true after more temperature data was collected. The issue here is: the initial claims made headlines all over the media landscape. The revision, and effectively a correction, has received no publicity.
