The hallmark of a climate change lie is the use of metaphorical language. The article mentions weather “turbocharged by climate change”. A turbocharger compresses exhaust gas from an engine and injects it back into the cylinders. There is nothing about climate change that makes car engines produce more horsepower. The terms “code red for the planet” or “the planet is on life support” are other similar phrases. They are designed to exaggerate and produce alarm. The planet does not have “codes” and it is not on a ventilator and IV drip.

A couple of things wrong with your statement. A turbocharger does neither compress exhaust gases nor force them back into the cylinder to increase horsepower. That action is performed with fresh air. The exhaust gases merely power the impellers in the turbo. Certain climate changes such as denser air CAN make an engine produce more power though. That is also the function of an intercooler on a supercharged or turbo system on an engine.

Yes, Yes - the horror of climate change.
I expect to be dead before the end of the week.
I'd better get busy one of my last few meals.

Yes, I'm going to use real butter.
What difference does it make if I'll be dead next Saturday?
