When you see "news" stories like this from the Wall Street Journal  Monday, Or, like the one below , It is from 2023.  They are incorrect because climate  doesn't delay anything. It is  weather,  on a given day, which causes delays -- something United frequently "fibs" about (see here and here for just two examples).  United isn't the only one, the Financial Times  published an article a few years ago about companies that blame weather for poor earnings results.  There is little evidence that storms have gotten worse, although some believe they will in the future.  I expect more and more companies to Dilbert's approach.
