Is the media pushing the Warming Climate idea?

Question

In the last few weeks there have been many shows on television that depict global warming. Why is the media so involved and only really giving one side of the story? Is it the politics involved?

Answer 1

Except when we have the coldest years on record.

Answer 2

h**l yea. The media distorts any Global Warming claim as to make them laughable.

Polar bears are not dying out.

Penguins are not dying out.

Sea levels are increasing less than 3mm per year. (about the thickness of a piece of cardboard). Not 10 or 20 feet.

Glaciers are not all melting (some are growing, some are melting). The glaciers the left likes to use have been melting for more than 100 years.

No additional disease has been discovered.

No stronger or more frequent hurricanes/storms.

No vast heat records being set (just the normal records being occasionally broken).

The list goes on. Basically, when watching a tv show on global warming, realize that 99% of the story is BS.

Answer 3

to make money like Al Gore did.

Answer 4

I will quote a Bangla (previous spelling was Bengali) idiom here: JOTO DOSH, NONDO GHOSH! The translation of this idiom is not possible to let the Westerners' understand, but I can explain the theme: Suppose someone's name is Mr. John Blame! Now, whoever does the wrong or where ever anything happens wrong, all the blames come on Mr. Blame's shoulder :-)

'MEDIA' are Mr. Blame here! Sometimes they do TOO much, I agree, but not with a serious PROBLEM of Global Warming. The present generation may not feel or think at all the disasters ahead, but the Pundits're really panicked by the incoming man-made destruction. Media are just preparing to let the people make alert or to do the right actions.

It's hopeless to see some of the answers or comments by some poor fellows, that "nothing is going to happen" even after the whole ice of the world would melt! What a nonsense!

Answer 5

I would really have to disagree with that ideal.... and this is why.  How is it that sooo many people can really be so blind as too what havoc we are wreaking on this planet.  You have to look at the big picture of things.  Life has a certain balance that has to be maintained.  All of the polluting and destruction of natural resources will come with a price.  It's actually really sad that so many people want to ignore what will be our problem forever.  It can only get worse.  So, I guess my answer is No.  The media isn't pushing the climate warming idea.  It makes itself apparent everyday that we continue to ignore it.

Answer 6

how is there 2 sides to this argument? when an alternative theory is published in a reputable journal such as science or nature then maybe we should consider showing both sides. until then its really a no brainier.

i think you are talking about docos and not news because there is always a new theory being published in the newspapers disproving AGW because it generates controversy and therefore ratings.
