Even just this single one is too broad. There've been more than a few extreme weather events where I live this summer. Each time the media uses those to push for more climate action, even though the data shows that there have been many years just like this in the past few decades.

Certainly to those who put that label on anyone who doesn't believe it's the most pressing issue at this moment, or doesn't believe in the same solutions as they do.
