Why won't it stop raining? - Telegraph

So far our summer has been bad, but spare a thought for those who took a charabanc to the seaside 100 years ago. The summer of 1912 was “one of the wettest in the meteorological annals”. Cornwall and Norfolk received more than three times the average August rainfall. And the night of August 25 saw more than 8in of rain fall on Norwich – over a quarter of the annual average. Parts of Norfolk were under water until spring. “It was fortunate,” says Stirling “that there were no steep slopes to accentuate the rush of water.”

Fox News: "Newsflash: Summer is hot" | Carbon Brief

Fox News is warning the US media there's no evidence for linking extreme weather and climate change. Under the title "Newsflash: Summer is hot", Fox describes how the US media is racing to link the heatwave to global warming.

But that's just sloppy journalism, says Fox. On Fox News's 'The Five' segment, host Greg Gutfield lays out the evidence:

    "As the media reports on thousands of broken temperature records, they ignore what meteorologist Joe Bastardi points out - that half the US had above normal temperatures in    June while the other half was below normal."

But is linking high temperatures to climate change merely bad journalism, or is the US media playing a more sinister game?

    "The West has been more successful than the rest of the world. [...T]he left will never forgive us for winning, and what better way to convict us than to demonstrate that we've murdered Mother Earth herself, especially when such outrage gets you a seat at the next Obama Hollywood fundraiser?"
