ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — For the first time ever, parts of Alaska will be under a heat advisory — but you can put an asterisk at the end of that term.
It’s not the first instance of unusually high temperatures in what many consider the nation’s coldest state, but the National Weather Service only recently allowed for heat advisories to be issued there. Information on similarly warm weather conditions previously came in the form of “special weather statements.”
Using the heat advisory label could help people better understand the weather’s severity and potential danger, something a nondescript “special weather statement” didn’t convey.
So this is 100% entirely reporting about a procedural change in how weather events are announced in alaska, but in the most obnoxious way possible? Jesus. We don’t need dumb troll jokes about climate change, we can all see the changes happening, we need mature coverage and someone to youtube the exxon mobile execs…
Reminder that all big US media are now under state censorship and control.
Best to read Jacobin instead.
