""The competition, the 'flood the zone' strategy from the administration, is making it very difficult for anything that's not super urgent in this moment," said Allison Fisher, director of the climate and energy program at the nonprofit."
""Like, literally, billions of people know about climate change only because the media has reported it," Leiserowitz said."
Earth's temperature is at its highest in 125,000 years, yet media coverage of climate change has dropped 38% since 2021. Journalists are focusing on other pressing news, leading to a 35% reduction in climate coverage by major U.S. networks. This decline in media attention affects public engagement and enthusiasm for climate action, as many people rely on media for information about climate change. The shift in focus has real-world consequences, making it challenging to mobilize support for protests and policy changes.
