Sunny Hostin claimed the recent solar eclipse and New York earthquake are linked to climate change.
She faced criticism on The View. Hostin connected the eclipse, the quake, and cicadas.
She suggested these events hint at real climate change. However, her co-hosts quickly corrected her.
They noted the regularity of cicada appearances. Hostin was correct about the unique “double brood” of cicadas. This results in a larger population.
While the events are not related, climate change is real. Human activities, mainly the greenhouse effect, are to blame. This leads to warming, melting ice caps, and ocean heating.
An eventful morning at #TheView, but we're glad everyone at the @TamronHallShow is safe!#WhoopiGoldberg@AnaNavarro@JoyVBehar@Sunny@AlyssaFarah pic.twitter.com/DgUIoHc0bJ

Human-made carbon emissions cause climate shifts. The ocean is also getting warmer and more acidic, threatening marine life.
Climate change triggers extreme weather. It disrupts climate systems, causing droughts, floods, and extreme heat.
For example, it could alter the UK’s climate by making it much colder. Although the New York earthquake is not climate-related, fracking can cause such events.
