Interesting conundrum.
More info available at human fingertips than at any time in the species history.
But no matter the subject - science, politics, what's the best rifle sling - someone or vast groups of people will claim "fake news".
I think we are entering a new very bizarre era of "the dark ages", folks again afraid that the earth really isn't flat - because the politics of those who say it ain't are just plain unpalatable..................
One of the many examples of changing climate (not to be confused with weather for the easily confused), and it's effect on the 40 years of my adult life spent mostly outside of the walls of a building in a city/town:
I've hunted Blue Grouse in the September mountains of SW MT for 3.5 decades. Used to go out at 2:30 in the afternoon wearing a long sleeve shirt over polypro undies.
In recent times I am done most days by 10:00 am because it's already too hot for my dogs. Something has changed. Who gives a shit why/how. Ignorant as hell to poo-poo it because you disagree with the politics of the subject, regardless of the cause.
So like everybody else has their reality, that's my version (of how old Lady Nature has changed, thus changing my hunting habits). Real story. Open for labeling as false news.
But then again, it just snowed four feet in Browning MT, so this whole thing must be a hoax.........................................................................................
