This is one of the most shocking cases of #climatesilence we've ever seen.
@adeelnyt writes an entire article in the @nytimes about the context of the #NebraskaFloods and fails to mention climate change even once.

Newsflash! The midwestern floods from the bomb cyclone ARE linked to climate change.
@gaarder in her @OWHnews article made those links clear, quoting both James Hansen and @MichaelEMann. She is a model to reporters everywhere.

Hassan wasn't the only @nytimes reporter who failed to mention climate change.
@mihirzaveri wrote an entire piece veritably humming with #climatesilence.

The @washingtonpost did no better, with pieces by @islivingston and Heather Hollingsworth both utterly silent on the science of our ongoing #ClimateDestruction.

And @HollyYanCNN and @its_xristina over at @CNN also never bothered to reach out to any climate scientists. Why? Are they under pressure to keep climate out of their stories?

Unsurprisingly, @shannonvansant never mentioned climate change in her @NPR story.
But guess what? Climate is no longer just a science story! If you're a national reporter in 2019, you need to know something about it so you can report facts.

When outlets that publish @chriscmooney or @nytclimate can't make sure their national reporters keep climate on their radar, what can we expect from, say, @USATODAY?
Apparently nothing, to judge by @joeygarrison's #climatesilence.

Oh hi, @Reuters! Your reporter @gabriellaborter wrote an entire piece about the #Nebraskaflood without once mentioning #climatechange.

In short, #ClimateDestruction is here. It will only get worse, unimaginably worse, every day and every year until we stop burning fossil fuels.
Don't ignore this reality. Don't participate in a coverup.
Don't be silent any longer.
