The Mainstream Media's Criminal Climate Coverage
The mainstream media is failing us when it comes to covering the story of the century - man-made climate change. And, as Media Matters has reported, there’s no better example of this failure than the decline of climate coverage at Reuters since that news organization hired Paul Ingrassia as deputy editor-in-chief. Ingrassia, who is now a managing editor at Reuters, is a self-described “climate skeptic,” and questions whether or not climate change is man-made.
Denying climate is absolutely insane. The UN’s Intergovernmental Report on Climate Change is a consensus document, meaning that 100 percent of the people who worked on it agreed with its findings. The IPCC’s authors are the top climate scientists on earth, and they say that burning fossil fuels causes climate change.
In light of this sort of scientific consensus, denying climate change is about sensible as believing that a shape-shifting reptile Illuminati controls the world. In fact, in terms of pure percentages, there are more who people believe in a shape-shifting reptile Illuminati than there are scientists who deny climate change.
