Just for kicks, here's my revisions to the opening paragraph in this Climate Progress post:
Another week, another New York Times articleJoe Romm post on extreme weather that fails to stretches climate science to simplistically connect the dots to global warming for the public. The NYTRomm blew the Arizona wildfire story. TheyHe blew theDust Bowl story.
And now, "one of the most influential global-warming blogs on the Internet" (according to Time magazine) has blown the Southwestern drought story. As Romm has so often reminded us, the media is remiss when it doesn't connect disasters such as Australian wildfires and Russian heat waves to global warming. (The same goes for Arab revolts.) So, predictably perturbed at this NYT story, Romm titles his post:
NY Times Asks Why "Horrible" U.S. Drought "Has Come on Extra Hot and extra Early." Their Answer is...La Nina, Of Course!"
Well, actually, that's what NOAA's David Miskus ...
