And some records are being used to hype normal temperature variability in unfortunate ways.

But whatever the motive, it is very harmful, resulting in unnecessary worry and leading to bad decisions (like the wasteful, corrupting Washington State CCA, which preferentially hurts low-income people while enriching special...

But when it comes to issues dealing with climate, the Seattle Times has descended into advocacy, hype, and exaggeration, unsupported by facts and actual science.   1

Why is the Seattle Times and others providing obviously false information to the public about snowpack and wildfire?  Even Google's AI knows better:

Yesterday, the New York Times ran a story that was blatantly false, with the Seattle Times featuring it as well. 

In summary, the "drought emergency" talk is highly irresponsible and in contradiction to observed facts on the ground.  It is used as a tool to scare people, often with unsupported attempts to connect the fictitious "drought"...

The Seattle Times ClimateLab stories are often sloppy and incorrect, with the article in today's paper a good example of poor journalism, with politicized, error-filled claims.

The article is false. Evidence clearly indicates that no changes in extreme weather trends are found in the data and, as such, no changes can be tied to climate change.

... there are no reliable studies that indicate a substantial increase in aircraft turbulence due to changing climate conditions.  The media is needlessly causing folks to worry about flying. 

The inability to see total eclipses is one of the lesser-known impacts of global warming, but it is areal loss for astronomers and the rest of us. 

In summary, Seattle Times ClimateLab articles are not doing anyone a favor by telling tall tales about drought and climate change.  El Nino conditions are evident right now, with low snowpack but near normal precipitation. ...

Another highly deceptive and error-filled climate story in the ST.  One predicting more than a doubling of wildfires over western Washington and Oregon by mid-century.

This Seattle Times article was financed by a collection of activist foundations and the University of Washington.    It shows the dangers of advocacy journalism.
