@DonWeller5 @Christo64966397 @SarahMoonCNN @BrandonCNN @SarahMoonCNN @passantino @rriess_TV @cnni @CNN your article reports that BC normally has "about 130 death reports over a four-day period." But BC actually has an average of 106 deaths/day, so 230 deaths over four days is LOW.

Will you please correct your article?

@DonWeller5 @Christo64966397 @SarahMoonCNN @BrandonCNN @passantino @rriess_TV @cnni @CNN Additionally, the headline blames 230 deaths on the heatwave, but article admits, "Coroners are now gathering information to determine... whether heat played a role"

So the headline is VERY misleading. Will you please correct the headline, too? (Naw, I didn't think so. Not @CNN)

@DonWeller5 @Christo64966397 @SarahMoonCNN @BrandonCNN @passantino @rriess_TV @cnni @CNN I trust you know who Prof. Cliff Mass is, right?

He's a true expert -- perhaps THE #1 expert -- on Pacific NW weather, and here's what he wrote about that specific false claim:

@DonWeller5 @Christo64966397 @SarahMoonCNN @BrandonCNN @passantino @rriess_TV @cnni @CNN Here's NASA's video about the measured effects of CO2 emissions -- what it REALLY does, not what climate industry propagandists and crackpots PRETEND it does:

@DonWeller5 @Christo64966397 @SarahMoonCNN @BrandonCNN @passantino @rriess_TV @cnni @CNN If you want to report accurately about climate change, you need to LEARN about climate change.

To understand a highly politicized issue like climate change, you need balanced information. You're obviously not getting it — nor giving it to your readers.

@DonWeller5 @Christo64966397 @SarahMoonCNN @BrandonCNN @passantino @rriess_TV @cnni @CNN The scientific evidence is compelling that manmade climate change is modest and benign, and CO2 emissions are net-beneficial, rather than harmful.

Here are some relevant papers:
