Washington larch debate: fire ecology vs climate change claims
Original: Rantz: The experts say fire keeps Washington’s larches alive, so why does the headline blame climate change?
Talk radio host Jason Rantz is challenging coverage of Washington State's larch trees, arguing that experts themselves say fire is necessary to keep the alpine larches alive, so headlines blaming climate change for their decline are misleading. He questions why media outlets frame the story as a climate change story when the underlying science points to the role of natural fire cycles in the species' survival.
Why now: People are debating whether media coverage of environmental stories is exaggerated or misattributed to climate change.
