Reuters is really blaming climate change for that lightning strike near the White House

Yes, this is a real article from Reuters.

Just look at that beaut of a headline:

So some people got struck by lightning, which has literally been happening as long as humans have been on this planet, and our very objective and very non-agenda-driven media felt it necessary to tell us that it happened because cLiMaTe ChAnGe. 🥴

Since they're really giving this a go, we might as well read the first few paragraphs...

OK one more...

Got that? Let's follow the Reuters logic:

  1. It was 5 degrees warmer that day than the average temperature. ✅
  2. When it's warmer, lightning strikes more often. ✅
  3. Even though we're not allowed to question climate change during record cold snaps, any day that it's a few degrees hotter than average is because of CLIMATE CHANGE! ✅
  4. Don't think too hard about it or ask any questions you commoner. ✅

Any questions??
