Can you find me a single one of any note saying we are hyping up climate change, that reporting on record heat waves is antithetical to good climate science?

I'm gonna hazard that's a big fat no.

Plus, the thing I posted directly contradicts your claim. The media was soft-selling future temps by putting them out to 2050. lol so your entire point is moot.
