American Exceptionalism at Work: U.S. Leads in Media Coverage of Climate Deniers - The Demos Blog - PolicyShop


When it comes to climate change, there is one area in which the U.S. leads all other nations. Our media gives more time and attention to climate deniers than any other country. The study looked at five other countries besides the U.S.- Brazil, China, France, India and the UK- to see how leading newspapers in each country dealt with climate skepticism. It found that coverage of climate skepticism is mostly limited to the U.S. and to the U.K. and that you should look tothe U.S. and the UK media to find skeptics cited or quoted that question whether global temperatures are warming.
