The New York Times is being roasted online for “fear-mongering” over an article questioning whether it is “safe to go outside” this summer. “So you want to go outside — despite the heat, heavy rainfall and poor air quality affecting millions this summer. Here’s how to determine whether it’s safe to leave the house,” The New York Times Health section tweeted with a link to the article. The New York Times incredulously implies that leaving the house is dangerous due to the horror of… summer weather! Multiple studies have shown that even as deaths related to excessive heat are on the rise, more people die each year from cold-related weather.
