> However, that wasn't worthy of sensationalistic headlines in the NYT. The headline was formed based on the quote from the academic involved: 'We are flirting in uncharted territory,' Dr. Marsh So if the headline is sensationalized that suggests Dr. Marsh is the sensationalist. And here in lies the whole problem with the climate change debate. An academic who I suspect spends a lot of his/her working life studying the actual problem it immediately written of as being a sensationalist. But this constant shoot the messenger to climate change denial will not stop the contents of the message from playing out in time. |

No, it would suggest that the reporter picked the most sensationalistic quote he could find from a lengthy interview.

I notice that you did not address any of the facts linked from my post, such as the number of tornadoes being at a record low between 2012 and 2014, nor the fact that according to the National Weather Service's own site, the increase in the number of reported tornadoes is largely due to better radars and more storm-chasers looking for them.
