Myth 6: Media claims about increasing hurricane frequency are accurate. Truth: Leading media outlets have deliberately misrepresented the flat long-term hurricane trend. E.g., the @nytimes cherry-picking a starting point—the low point of 1980—to make a flat trend seem upward. https://t.co/phKvUcXyDi — PolitiTweet.org
