Who needs evidence when there’s a good narrative to sell? The addicted crowd will clap on cue.
I guess you both grew up really enjoying that one episode of South Park and just can't let go?
It’s troubling how many accept this half-baked story without questioning the shaky correlations it draws.
It’s similar to what happened when the Maui wildfire started, many people, and more worryingly, journalists, were quick to blame climate change in their initial reports. That narrative turned out to be inaccurate.
In fact, scientific studies (including those published in the International Journal of Wildland Fire) show that most wildfires are actually caused by human activity. But people love sharing headlines that reinforce their existing biases, even when the facts tell a different story.
