It's simple, really.
Every single weather phenomenon is evidence global warming will destroy humanity in 12 years.
Every single case of a person getting sick is evidence that mankind faces an existential medical crisis, pandemic, plague, or catastrophe.
Every disagreement of any type between people of different skin color is evidence that America is irredeemably racist.
Every tragedy involving a lunatic with a gun is proof that none outside the military and police should have access to firearms.
And every supply chain shortage (the media are thrilled with this new term they've just learned, "supply chain," and weave it into any story they can), every supply chain shortage that can be imagined is a direct result of either (a) covid, (b) climate change, or (c) Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Very simple math our journalists follow these days.
