"But even the big new Time magazine cover story for their European, Asian, and South Pacific editions, Through Hell And High Water, doesn’t make the cut for the U.S. edition’s cover (as the screen capture above shows).  In fact, can someone tell me if it made the print edition at all, since I can’t find the story in the table of contents? Equally significant, the Time story itself never mentions the link to climate change or global warming at all, even though it is pretty basic physics"

He goes into it much more. But this isn't the first time the US edition of national news magazine has had a different cover story then the other editions.
