This is false. The NYT bases its entire story on a model-driven analysis from a group whose sole purpose is to connect weather events to climate change, while ignoring the long observational record showing that severe heat waves have repeatedly struck the United States, including New York, for centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHeat and humidity as severe, prolonged and far-reaching as this week\u2019s would have been \u2018virtually impossible\u2019 in the Northeast and eastern Canada before humans began warming the planet, a team of scientists said on Friday,\u201d writes&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/by\/raymond-zhong\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Raymond Zhong,<\/a>&nbsp;a reporter for the NYT. \u201cEmissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from the burning of oil, gas and coal have trapped more of the sun\u2019s heat at Earth\u2019s surface, raising temperatures worldwide for more than a century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSummer hot spells are nothing new, but because of the excess heat around the planet caused by global warming, they can produce higher temperatures today than they once did,\u201d Zhong continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike a good journalist, Zhong never questioned the premise, never examined the historical record, never interviewed anyone outside the climate attribution community, and never asked whether the group they cite, World Weather Attribution (WWA), has conclusions that might be influenced by the organization\u2019s very reason for existing. Instead, Zhong presented readers with exactly one narrative: climate change is causing the present heat wave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WWA exists for one purpose, to determine how much climate change has influenced weather events. That is its&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldweatherattribution.org\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mission<\/a>. Asking WWA whether climate change caused a heat wave is like asking the National Football League whether football is important or Greenpeace whether they think oil spills are harmful. What exactly did the NYT expect them to conclude? That climate change had nothing to do with it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course not. This is not journalism, rather it\u2019s a reporter using a narrative autopen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The article reports that WWA concluded the heat wave would have been \u201cvirtually impossible\u201d before industrialization and cites a probability analysis based on wet bulb globe temperature calculations combined with weather observations, forecasts, and climate model simulations. Yet there is one enormous problem with this approach: climate models are not observations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WWA begins with climate models, creates a hypothetical version of Earth without modern greenhouse gas emissions, and then compares that imaginary world to today\u2019s modeled climate. The result is not a measurement. It is an estimate built upon assumptions about carbon dioxide driving climate changes, already embedded within the models themselves. The NYT never explains this distinction. Instead, it presents speculative model output as though it were an observed fact. Even more troubling is is the fact that the NYT story ignored heat wave history entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">America\u2019s climate did not begin in 1970. Long before anyone blamed carbon dioxide for extreme weather, the United States experienced devastating heat waves that rivaled or exceeded many recent temperatures.&nbsp;<em>Climate at a Glance<\/em>&nbsp;documents that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/climateataglance.com\/climate-at-a-glance-u-s-heatwaves\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the most severe period for U.S. heat waves remains the Dust Bowl era of the 1930s<\/a>, when NOAA observations show far more frequent extreme heat than today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The historical record extends even farther back. The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/grokipedia.com\/page\/1901_eastern_United_States_heat_wave\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">catastrophic Eastern U.S. heat wave of 1901<\/a>&nbsp;killed an estimated 9,500 people. The historic&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/articles\/heat-wave-1911-weather-insane\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1911 heat wave brought temperatures above 100\u00b0F across much of New England<\/a>&nbsp;and still holds Boston\u2019s all-time record of 104\u00b0F. The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/repository.library.noaa.gov\/view\/noaa\/70957\/noaa_70957_DS1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dust Bowl heat waves of 1934<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.weather.gov\/arx\/heat_jul36\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1936<\/a>&nbsp;produced temperatures that remain unmatched across large portions of the central United States. The devastating&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chds.us\/c\/timeline\/1980-us-heat-wave\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">heat wave of 1980<\/a>&nbsp;in the United States killed thousands and caused billions of dollars in damage. None of these events receives a single mention in the NYT article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, readers are asked to believe that today\u2019s weather is fundamentally different from any weather experienced in the past, just because one attribution group says so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The article also ignores the basic reality that reliable nationwide temperature observations span roughly 150 years, while humans have lived in North America for more than 15,000 years. Claiming that a weather event is \u201cvirtually impossible\u201d based on such a tiny slice of climate history requires extraordinary confidence, or hubris. A commonly cited scientific saying \u201cExtraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence\u201d is often attributed to astronomer Carl Sagan. Yet the NYT provides no extraordinary evidence for the claim that the ongoing heat wave is exceptional or would be \u201cvirtually impossible\u201d sans climate change. Indeed, it presents no hard evidence at all, just WWA\u2019s computer model spin. The NYT applies none of the skepticism that journalists normally reserve for extraordinary claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NYT also overlooks another important factor. Much of the observed warming in cities occurs at night, when asphalt, concrete, and buildings slowly release the heat absorbed during the day. This&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/kids\/earth\/what-is-an-urban-heat-island\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Urban Heat Island effect<\/a>&nbsp;raises overnight minimum temperatures, precisely when heat-related mortality is greatest. Urbanization can substantially influence long-term temperature records, a known factor ignored by the NYT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, Zhong quotes a WWA scientist declaring that \u201cthe climate the country has today is fundamentally different to the one it had when the founding fathers signed the Declaration of Independence.\u201d That line makes for dramatic copy, but it is historically false. The Founding Fathers experienced brutal heat waves. The most famous heat wave during the American Revolution occurred during the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.battlefields.org\/learn\/articles\/heat-moment-monmouth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Battle of Monmouth<\/a>&nbsp;in central New Jersey on June 28, 1778. Temperatures soared to nearly 100\u00b0F (37.8\u00b0C) with high humidity, pushing the heat index well over 110\u00b0F. Fighting in heavy woolen uniforms under the blazing summer sun, soldiers on both sides suffered severe dehydration and heatstroke. Almost as many American soldiers died of heat exhaustion as died from battle wounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Extreme heat in the United States is not a new phenomenon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite this, modern media treat every string of hot days as evidence of a looming \u201cclimate catastrophe\u201d while ignoring centuries of evidence that debunks this claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most disappointing aspect of this story is not WWA\u2019s predictable conclusion. Organizations are free to pursue the missions for which they were created. The failure belongs squarely with the NYT simply parroting, without critical examination, a climate advocacy organization\u2019s unverified claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Readers deserve good journalism. What they got was sloppy climate advocacy masquerading as news. In this case,&nbsp;<em>The New York Times<\/em>&nbsp;erred because WWA\u2019s claims are not&nbsp;<em>news<\/em>&nbsp;and certainly not \u201cfit to print.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Times (NYT) claims in \u201cWithout Climate Change, U.S. Heat Wave Called \u2018Virtually Impossible\u2019\u201d that the recent Northeastern U.S. heat wave could not have occurred without human-caused climate change.
