A good example of fake news appeared in Sunday's New York Times. It is a column headlined, ``As Trump Denies Climate Change, These Kids Die.'' This may be a new high--or maybe a new low--for climate alarmists and their exaggerations. Two facts: first, most severe and persistent droughts occurred decades ago, not recently; and second, there is little connection between climate change and extreme weather, in general, according to numerous studies. Climate alarmists tend to ignore scientific evidence and encourage media hype, and, of course, the liberal media is all too willing to go along. Climate discussions should be based on good science, not politically correct science. ____________________
