The collective brain of The New York Times suffered a system failure and forgot that it gets hot during summertime.
Times climate reporter Raymond Zhong published an asinine piece of eco-activist agitprop with a headline that epitomized the definition of begging the question:
“Without Climate Change, U.S. Heat Wave Called ‘Virtually Impossible.’”
And like clockwork, Zhong predictably skewered humanity for causing the summer heatwave: “Heat and humidity as severe, prolonged and far-reaching as this week’s would have been ‘virtually impossible’ in the Northeast and eastern Canada before humans began warming the planet, a team of scientists said on Friday.”…
JunkScience.com founder Steve Milloy blasted Zhong’s nonsense in a July 3 X post, dubbing it “OMG stupid.” Milloy argued that the year 1776 — right around the time the Industrial Revolution was in full swing — occurred “amid a period known as the naturally-caused Little Ice Age. The end of the LIA (mid 19th century) had nothing to do with emissions and today’s climate has nothing discernible to do with emissions.”
