This is why it’s so important for all of us to be having conversations about climate change. We don’t have to leave it to the media to set the agenda.

good point but we could also start voting Green to move the Overtone Window so the media does start talking a out it more

Definitely vote green 👍
However, I suspect that while the media will cover climate issues for clicks (which they have to do to survive), they’ll ultimately continue furthering their own interests as a class by publishing content that delays action.
Most media is owned and staffed by people who will have to give things up if we’re actually going to tackle climate change.
So fuck 'em, unfortunately. Like this summer shows; we don’t have time to wait for them to get on board, and we can’t count on them to help.

Green, like Reform/Restore, have 50% batshit policies and 50% sensible. It pains me that we can’t have a political party that lives in the real world without batshit crazy attached.

I’m sure the ovens they live in have let them know

In all fairness, accurately reporting the current trajectory of climate change doesn’t make for very engaging media because it would just be the news anchor alternating between panicked screaming and hyperventilation for the whole segment.
