Failing to report whats going on
“This is why Europe has been hit by rains and storms”, this is the misleading headline that one of Sweden’s biggest news-channels uses for a clip in which the extreme floods and rains over Germany is talked about. Meteorologist, Peter Kondrup doesn’t mention climate change in the segment, instead he talks about it as rare weather conditions. It’s dangerous when news media like TV4 fails to report about the connection between extreme weather and climate change. Clip from TV4 (Swe): https://www.tv4play.se/program/nyheterna/därför-har-europa-drabbats-av-skyfall-och-oväder/13351049?fbclid=IwAR3kF7bEzvvEVzLXxWgIO9GVSMgAyXfca8pOV1513nKcKtvOyHEA6ITCYXU

The editorial team invites you to take a look at our overall monitoring of the climate issue, we have a climate commentator and several science and climate reporters who work to monitor the issue. Sometimes, time is limited and not all aspects are included in a short comment in the studio, but we have on many different occasions and in reports on Sweden and the world described how the climate crisis affects the weather. What the meteorologist describes in the segment is the weather (and why it is raining) he does not go into the underlying explanations for the extreme amounts of rain. For example, look at this clip where the extreme weather is explained in connection with global warming: https://www.tv4play.se/program/nyheterna/en-naturkatastrof-siffror-p%C3%A5-antal-d%C3%B6da-som-vi-inte-%C3%A4r-vana-vid-i-europa/13351145

It's all too common of a problem. Mainstream media in general seem to misunderstand correlation (can be weak or strong) over causality. Reality and actuality is there is a HUUUGE smoking gun that we're aiming collectively to ourselves. I like Adams suggestion, mention causality and probability. The science supports this. Over and over again. Not doing so /many media outlets etf) is borderlining fraud to the it's public. No one wins with that approach.

You can not fully connect the 2 yet in science, but everyone is thinking it is. It is not bad to stick to facts, stay reliable But mention that it maybe inline with it and very hot Nordic summer weather.

Saying that it might not be connected but that events like these become more common with higher temperatures is a lot better than not mentioning the climate crisis at all.

@Adam_Wallin yes, that's possible. I think it should have been mentioned.
