Media coverage of climate change

Global warming was the cover story of this 2007 issue of the liberal-leaning feminist Ms. magazine.

Media coverage of climate change has had effects on public opinion on climate change, as it conveys the scientific consensus on climate change that the global temperature has increased in recent decades and that the trend is caused by human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases.[1]

Climate change communication research shows that coverage has grown and become more accurate.[2]: 11 

Some researchers and journalists believe that media coverage of politics of climate change is adequate and fair, while a few feel that it is biased.[3][4][5][6]
