Again, there are many people that use the “doom and gloom” climate change prophecies that haven’t come true yet as an excuse to ignore the problem entirely. Better to be factual and correct.

Still, better to use solid data when making arguments.

People like that point at any article with weak data as validation that climate change has no basis. It’s better to not give them that opportunity.

I disagree with this. Don’t give deniers any more ammunition than they already have. There’s enough verifiable data on the topic that we don’t need to shoot ourselves in the foot by resorting to sloppy science.

That said, I would love to see every news story end with: “In recent years there’s been a statically significant increase in severe weather due to climate change.”

I mean, it is true though. It’s difficult to attribute any individual storm to climate change. A statistically significant rise in the number and intensity of storms though would be a strong indicator. Does anyone know if there’s a website or scientific journal currently tracking this?

It’s AI generated lol

Machine learning falls under the category of AI. I agree that works produced by LLMs should count as derivative works, as long as they’re not too similar.

A Canadian news site posting an article about a Canadian citizen killed in another country seems reasonable to me.

Things that are out of the ordinary make it into the headlines. This is a German citizen captured by Hamas during their invasion of Israel. Very out of the ordinary. No need to bring race into it.

That sounds like a terrible legal defense. Yes - I had alcohol in my car, and I was pounding it at the time of the accident. But trust me, I was totally sober when I actually hit that person.
