VERIFY Snap: Fact-checking claims about the fall season
Autumn is here and the VERIFY team is answering a few questions about the fall season.
Food
Yes, the sky appears more blue in the fall, fall colors are affected by climate change, and some PSLs have pumpkin, but pumpkin spice blend does not.
It's officially fall and we're here to explain some claims about autumn foliage, blue skies, and pumpkin (or lack thereof).
Environment
Yes, it’s generally safe for wildlife to eat discarded pumpkins
Composting is the best way to discard your pumpkins, but they’re safe for animals to eat as long as they aren’t rotting or have chemicals on them.
Environment
No, electric cars are not worse for the environment than gas-powered cars
Energy experts say greenhouse gas emissions associated with an electric vehicle over its lifetime are typically lower than those from a gas-powered car.
Environment
Yes, 23 species would be the most declared extinct from Endangered Species Act
Just 11 species have ever been removed from the Endangered Species Act for extinction prior to the recent Fish and Wildlife Service proposal to remove 23 species.
Extreme Weather
Yes, rare extreme weather events are happening more frequently
Major hurricanes and extreme rainfalls, floods and heat have been more common in the past decade.
Extreme Weather
Yes, Ida caused New York City’s first ever ‘flash flood emergency,’ which is different from a typical ‘flash flood warning’
A “flash flood emergency” is a relatively new type of flash flood warning used for only the most dangerous floods that rise beyond typical flood levels.
Food
No, the government isn't paying farmers to destroy their crops
The Farm Bureau, the USDA and several farmers popular on social media all say the government is not paying farmers to destroy crops.
Weather
Yes, Hurricane Ida temporarily reversed the flow of part of the Mississippi River
Powerful winds pushed the water inland and temporarily reversed the flow in a section of the river. This also happened during Hurricane Isaac and Hurricane Katrina.
Environment
Yes, rising sea levels threaten national security for the US
Dozens of military installations sit on the U.S. coastline. Many are being impacted by rising sea levels.
