So last month @NOAAClimate announced that July 2019 was the hottest month in all of human history.

The world is sailing into uncharted territory, where humans have never existed.

So how did the television networks report this news? Mostly?

THEY DIDN'T

*thread*

@NOAAClimate @LesterHoltNBC @NBCNightlyNews, produced by @Matthewfrucci, failed to mention the historic and hugely important fact that July was the hottest month in human history. They performed full on climate silence.

@NOAAClimate @LesterHoltNBC @NBCNightlyNews @Matthewfrucci To our surprise @jaketapper @TheLeadCNN also failed to mention the historic and hugely important fact that July was the hottest month in human history. He also performed full on climate silence.

@NOAAClimate @LesterHoltNBC @NBCNightlyNews @Matthewfrucci @jaketapper @TheLeadCNN @wolfblitzer @CNNSitRoom @ErinBurnett @OutFrontCNN And the foxy but inadequate @AndersonCooper (on @AC360 produced by @KariPricher) also failed to mention the historic and hugely important fact that July was the hottest month in human history. He also performed full on climate silence.

@NorahODonnell on @CBSEveningNews (produced by @Mosheh) did. Well done and thank you, Ms ODonnell!

Instead of noting "scientists say temperatures will likely continue to rise because of manmade climate change" why not say "scientists say temperatures will continue to rise unless we stop emitting greenhouse gases"?

Thank you for your decision to #EndClimateSilence.

@DavidMuir @ABCWorldNews @karameha Do you really think your viewership has the scientific knowledge to understand that 62 degrees is actually very hot? Surely not.

Perhaps you did this unwittingly? Please be more thoughtful about the effect of your rhetoric.
