Biased media as well as politicians can sometimes jump the gun by blaming climate change before the actual cause is determined. In addition to these media destroying their own brand, climate deniers are given excuses that strengthen their arguments and beliefs.
Three major disasters have been wrongly exploited by these Swedish media in a short period of time. For example, some Swedish media left out that several of this summer's terrible forest fires in Greece were arson because this did not support their bias. Instead, it was suggested that the terrible heat wave was the cause of the extensive forest fires. The heat wave created perfect conditions for the wildfires, but they needed an accelerator.
The catastrophic and horrific collapse of the dam in Derna, Libya, which occurred last month, was blamed by several media and politicians on a severe storm. The real causes of this disaster are years of neglect, a fragmented political landscape and underdeveloped systems. This disaster led to the loss of more than 11,000 lives.
This weekend, a gigantic landslide occurred in southern Sweden. An area of 1,400,000 sqft (140,000 sqm) has collapsed and large parts of European road E6 have collapsed due to the landslide. Among other things, a motorway restaurant collapsed. Fortunately, the personal injuries were minimal. Three people were taken to hospital with broken bones.
This time too, the biased media and politicians could not wait for the real cause of the terrible accident, but instead falsely claimed that the cause was a sinkhole. The landslide was caused by inappropriate earthworks and filling of excavated masses in an incorrect way together with felling. The rainy weather that was going on during the night in question caused the excavation masses to become unstable and they went off like a mud wave on the highway.
Which generation of parents stopped teaching their children to tell the truth?
