Media Needs To Promote Climate Solutions

The fight against climate change is one of the greatest fights our planet has ever faced. The media still has the attention of the wider public. The responsibility of the media is therefore huge.

The way the media portrays the issues of climate change is therefore paramount in what path is taken in attacking the issue. We need real debate, as well as a media that will reveal the horrible truths of climate change, while not forgetting to tell us about those advancements that can give us hope. But will our media, with its own corporate backers to appease and look alike governments to cover really get to the real story we need... Time will tell.

It's a huge issue that needs to be addressed ASAP, even the Colombia Journalism Review is discussing it. As you can check out at: http://www.cjr.org/feature/climate_change_now_what.php
