Testing the provenance or source(s) of an image must be the first intuition for reception of public objects. Even if previous guy is corpulent we shouldn’t doubt our evidence that he’s #FatNixon. Media framing is a key element of message analysis in an age of hybrid warfare and disinformation production.
Similarly, the evidence of global climate crisis is more than the obviousness of extreme weather events. Hurricane/tropical storm Ida is not Katrina 2, despite MSM coverage. Often we also lack images of fatalities and rely on complex data, leaving ambiguity that unfortunately can be manipulated by the malevolent.

Hurricane Katrina was a large Category 5 Atlantic hurricane that caused over 1,800 deaths and $125 billion in damage in late August 2005, particularly in the city of New Orleans and the surrounding areas. It was at the time the costliest tropical cyclone on record and is now tied with 2017's Hurricane Harvey.

While there were also early reports of fatalities amid mayhem at the Superdome, only six deaths were confirmed there, with four of these originating from natural causes, one from a drug overdose, and one a suicide. At the Convention Center, four bodies were recovered. One of the four is believed to be the result of a homicide.[72]
Shortly after the hurricane moved away on August 30, 2005, some residents of New Orleans who remained in the city began looting stores. Many were in search of food and water that were not available to them through any other means, as well as non-essential items.[107] Additionally, there were reports of carjacking, murders, thefts, and rapes in New Orleans. Some sources later determined that many of the reports were inaccurate, greatly exaggerated or completely false, leading news agencies to print retractions.[108]
Over the first week of September, law and order were gradually restored to the city."[110] Several shootings occurred between police and New Orleans residents, some involving police misconduct; including an incident where police officers killed two unarmed civilians and seriously injured four others at Danziger Bridge.[111] Five former police officers pleaded guilty to charges connected to the Danziger Bridge shootings in the aftermath of the hurricane. Six other former or current officers appeared in court in June 2011.[112]
