A strong majority of Americans say they're worried about the climate. So why do they hear so little about it in the news?
…The problem has become even more acute at a time when the US president is openly hostile to the scientific consensus on climate change. Donald Trump and his allies have pushed misleading narratives about the trade-offs of green energy, drawing reporters into covering false controversies instead of facts and making the job of reporting harder.
"The Trump administration is playing reporters like a fiddle on the issue of trade-offs" by bringing up red herrings and sending reporters down rabbit holes, Jael Holzman, a climate reporter at Heatmap News, told DW.
Among President Trump's misleading claims is that offshore wind projects are "driving the whales crazy" and are the hidden cause of the marine mammals washing up dead.
Despite the downturn, climate journalism has come a long way over the last few decades.
Sadie Babits remembers the early years of climate journalism well. She filed her first environmental story in 2000 as an intern at Boise State Public Radio, reporting on Montana wildfires when the science linking extreme weather to human activity was still emerging. Back then, any story about climate change required both scientific voices and climate change deniers in the name of 'both-sidesism.'
Today, Babits is the senior supervising climate editor at NPR — a position that did not exist at the start of her career — joining legacy outlets like The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Associated Press in building and maintaining dedicated climate desks.
"We see this as a critical story of our time," she said. "We have not backed down from the kind of work that we would be doing in any other year."

Green New Scam
5 years left until we’re all gonna die!
They can't be serious.
Joeseph Biden: “Climate Change is the greatest security threat to the United States.”
Donald Trump: “ Climate Derangement Syndrome is the greatest Security Threat to the United States.”
Windmill’s are like Strippers!
They stop Working when you Stop throwing money at them.
They took a vote. Only 5.13 years left.
A strong majority of Americans say they’re worried about the climate.
**********
Start out with a lie. Go on from there.
“Babits is the senior supervising climate editor at NPR”
DEFUND NPR
“Climate Lie-alism”
Worried about the environment???
We can’t do a thing about it... The weather is the weather... We can’t control Mother Nature any more than we can control when the sun comes up and the moon rises. To claim otherwise is complete nonsense and such claims deserve no attention from any news organization.
One of the things that made me very glad Junkie Jezebel lost the election is if God forbid she won, the domestic enemies would have absolute obliterated our economy with this climate change bulsht**.
Think aboout it: They were all ready to ban gas powered cars, gas stoves, gas heating, even worse, regulate deisel. Can you freakin’ imagine the anarchy that would have caused? Your local supermarket empty for weeks because not enough trucks can go out as per POTUS Harris. Prices for EVERYTHING would have gone into outer space
“playing reporters like a fiddle on the issue of trade-offs”
Germany’s economy is in the toilet due to high energy prices. Deindustrialization seems like a trade off.
ps
No hurricanes hit the US last season. If climate change causes extreme weather why was last season so quiet?
It is religious
If people weren’t interested in these topics, then I wouldn’t have a job,” Holzman said. “I have readers so religiously interested in every word that I write that I have fans that come up to me in bars.”
> the scientific consensus on climate change <
It’s easy to have a consensus when one side is shouted down.
“A strong majority”? Liars.
The title says it all
The people constantly whining about the “climate change” haven’t changed it one little bit because all we as humans can do is to react to it. We can move if we prefer a warmer climate, etc. & that’s about it. Any momoney spent to “change the climate” is throwing it down a rathole. Don’t let the dreamers tell you differently. They are interested in the money to be made....period....in my view.
Yup, just label it “misinfo “ and move on with the next lie
