https://www.facebook.com/share/1L226M16Wz/What is the first rule of neo-liberal journalism? Talk about the crime, but never mention the criminal.
The headlines say the disaster is "driven by the burning of fossil fuels"—but who is actually doing the driving? Rest assured, that question will be ignored until our children are dealing with 3 million deaths in a single five-day heatwave in the 2030s.
A recent paper in Frontiers in Environmental Health confirms that such a heatwave is linked to nearly 30,000 extra deaths. These events are becoming more frequent, longer, and more intense as climate change, fuelled by those same fossil fuel giants, pushes global temperatures higher.
Stop hiding behind passive voice. Name the criminals.
