Pretty hard to take climate change reporting seriously.

The media is an amplifier that only publishes the most alarmist scientific findings, always blanketed in paragraphs of the editors own apocalyptic interpretation.

Climate science is complex. There's a broad spectrum of findings, many are not world-ending, and sometimes disagree on the details.

If anything, the media understates the threat by mixing in a lot of debunked misinformation. It's hard to take most journalism seriously with the sensationalism bias, but we're already seeing serious negative effects from climate change in the most vulnerable countries.

The planet will be a very different place in 50 years.
