The assessments affirm that climate change will increase the frequency and severity of extreme weather events. While there is a scientifically substantiated relationship between climate change and extreme weather events, it is difficult to suggest that a specific weather event is caused by climate change. This presents a series of challenges in media coverage of such events, as the norms of journalistic practice can be at odds with the norms of good science. en Wake Forest University Climate change extreme weather mass media newspaper sustainability weather Media Narratives and the Weathering of Climate Thesis Von Burg, Ronald Erhardt, Robert J Breckenridge, R.
