Crappy Reporting
“Minister links weird weather to global warming” vancouver sun
Hmmm. I thought. That was rather silly given the el Nino event which is almost certainly a) causing the weird weather, b) definitely not caused by global warming.
So I read the story from the Vancouver Sun. Not one quote from John Baird linking global warming and the West Coast windstorms. He may have said it but he is not quoted as saying it. Not that he was not quoted:
Baird said the damage in Stanley Park was “devastating.”
“It’s demonstrably worse than anything you can see on television,” he told journalists during a planned stop at Prospect Point. “It’s a wakeup call.”
Of course if you are a reporter or a headline writer with an agenda that is surely close enough.
