        The media is complicit and owned by the tech bros. It’ll say whatever they want you to think.

          Wtf? The world saw massive wild fires, and climate change was covered like every day for a month. The media is absolutely talking about it.

          What trash corporate news are you watching?

            The people who control the media don’t want climate action. This has been the case for decades. Why pretend it’s a new phenomenon?

              Big Tech and Big Oil have fused – Call it Fossil Tech https://naomiklein.substack.com/p/big-tech-and-big-oil-have-fused-call

              They’re also taking a lot of the attention.

                Climate changed. It’ll continue to change at an increasing rate, but it already changed too

                    And so far, every time it changed, dominant species died off. Brilliant future awaits 😉

                      They can’t handle the truth so they try to cover it up. Minimize your oil & gas purchases. O&G are the ones controling media and lobbying governments to rule in their favour.

                        climate disaster, crash, catastrophe etc are more accurate nouns to describe the global environmental crisis impacting every living being on Earth, than the tepid ‘change’ & CNN can’t even muster the audacity to utter that weak word

                            Agreed. My go to is “climate crisis.” Climate change was a term developed by the fossil fuel industry in focus groups to purposefully sound less scary

                              If you’re looking for a differences in the reporting periods 2016-2020, 2020-2024, and 2024-Now then it’s not hard to figure out.

                              Trumpster fire is using FCC to threaten networks, used DOGE to shut down funding for reports with words he doesn’t like, stripped away any offices capable of contributing climate data including NOAA and NASA atmospheric research, and uses emergency orders to keep coal plants open and shutdown wind and solar farms.

                                The same answer as usual, I’d imagine-- billionaires owning most major incorporations these days, meaning that usually the end-product is heavily processed and filtered in line with their own interests, such as tampering with narratives and enriching their wealth.

                                As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

                                How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.
