Amerikanska vetenskapsakademin ryter till mot desinformationskampanjer och medias oförmåga att hantera klimatfrågan

Vi bloggade tidigare om en ny rapport om klimatförändringarna som släppts av den Amerikanska vetenskapsakademin. Läser man den lite noggrannare hittar man också följande sågning av hur amerikansk media hanterar klimatfrågan.

"Most people rely on secondary sources for information, especially the mass media; and some of these sources are affected by concerted campaigns against policies to limit CO2 emissions, which promote beliefs about climate change that are not well-supported by scientific evidence. U.S. media coverage sometimes presents aspects of climate change that are uncontroversial among the research community as being matters of serious scientific debate. Such factors likely play a role in the increasing polarization of public beliefs about climate change, along lines of political ideology, that has been observed in the United States."

Inga små ord för att komma från en vetenskapsakademi, jag har aldrig sett något liknande i alla fall.
