And in the case of severe climate change it's imperative that we DO repeat it. Forever if necessary.

Next you're going to say that telling people to wear masks in a pandemic is cliché, or that professionals should stop telling companies to focus on cybersecurity, because that's a cliché. Repeating things that are true and extremely important is critical. You can't just hand wave it away with "it's a cliché so it's not important".

You need to be more careful what you editorialize to suit your own beliefs. The author who wrote the article chose the headline they did for a reason, and you're changing it to what you want and taking away the entire purpose of the linked article.

Who says it isn't important? It's more important than nearly, if not literally everything else that appears here.

You seem to be under a misconception of what HN is. If importance were the criterion for the front page, HN would be an entirely different forum—something like a current affairs site. It also be repeating the same things every day. I posted a longer explanation elsewhere in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27486354.

Please don't make assumptions about my understanding of things.

Nothing in my comments has anything to do with what is or isn't on the front page, or what should be or shouldn't be on the front page.

I'm talking about how you editorialized the title of the article to take away it's meaning - it's very reason for existing - and the reason someone might want to click it and learn more.

The article itself isn't much about the actual northern town, it's about how climate change is changing it so much - surely the title needs to indicate that.
