I think the most frustrating part of living in the modern world is that we can't trust the news at all.
Climate change is real. It is man-made. It is causing extreme weather events. People are suffering and dying as a result of our lack of ecological regulations. These are newsworthy facts, alarming and important. This storm system is evidence to support those conclusions.
None of those are included in this article.
Instead, we get click-bait fear-mongering. We get hyperbolic dramatization. The author desperately wants you to read the article, but they don't want you to learn anything. They want to be an authority on the situation, but they want to hedge their predictions because anything can happen (or not happen) and they don't want to look foolish.
It's like if you lived in an apartment building, and it was on fire, and instead of an alarm or instructions telling you to vacate or call the fire department, you get an advertisement for air freshener because the smoke might really smell bad, and you should panic buy at any price because stores will run out of air freshener because all your neighbors are going to want to be prepared. Warning, inconvenience approaches! Spend some money just in case things get bad.
It's always been like this. There's news for the rich, and news for the poors. Most "news" exists solely to serve the interests of the ruling class.
True but there’s nothing relevant about man made climate change here, this is a warning of an impending weather event. You can see it on your weather app.
Did you even read the article? Go buy some food and emergency supplies for the weekend.
Snowstorms were even worse before accelerated climate change and it was still news if a bad one was on the horizon.
