    writes a meteorologist and climate journalist

    This is barely one step removed from “claims” and “warns”. There’s no need to separate the source from the news in this headline except to distance the outlet from according this disaster to climate change.

      There’s a link at the top of the site called “Climate crisis” and the Guardian is often accused of being too left wing.

        Y’know people don’t even read the articles, right?

        You want them to click on this, read the article, then find and click on a separate link and then find what the key point is in that second article or articles and relate it to this one? That’s not good UI design. That’s terrible journalism.

        The Guardian is leftish, yes, but that’s not the point. The point is that wording things in such a way as to deliberately obfuscate the deeper story is what’s wrong. That’s not a “left wing” thing that’s a corporate thing, that’s a “both sides” thing and it was due to end 40 years ago.
