Covering the climate story

Are you frustrated with the media’s coverage of global warming? Think objectivity or balance gets in the way? What objectivity, you say?

Prefer the term “global warming?” Or are you of the “climate change” persuasion? Wondering what’s the difference?

The Yale Forum on Climate Change & The Media went on line last week and offers an inside look at the push and pull going on in the journalism world about how (and how well) media are covering the subject, whatever you want to call it. It seems to me the site will be interesting for people outside that world, too, although I could definitely be biased about that.

Any idea why PPH is so reluctant to advocate for alternatives?

Thanks.
