Wrong, Phys.org, Climate Change Isn’t Causing a Rise in Lost School Days
This article is a textbook example of shoddy research dressed up as urgent policy insight. By stretching an already weak climate claim—about worsening cyclones—into an even more tenuous social consequence—missed school days—it commits the cardinal sin of science: drawing sweeping conclusions from flimsy, cherry-picked evidence. There is no measurable increase in hurricane strength or frequency. Therefore, there is no climate change driven crisis of school disruption. The authors of this editorial should get an “F” in climate literacy— for failing the scientific smell test. Readers deserve better than this kind of unsupported alarmism.
