All in all, the Forbes piece is pretty vague and innocuous outside of the false confidence projected of increasing severe weather based on some claims made by NASA that the author cites as authoritative. The conditions that they say are getting more frequent and severe are not in fact doing so, at least if one believes the available historical and modern data. While Forbes’ writers and editors may feel unqualified to disagree with claims the cite from NASA, they should at least have the journalistic integrity to ask the right questions and check the available data for themselves.
