The planet is overheating. Why is the news looking away?

Since 2021, global media coverage of
#ClimateChange has dropped 38 percent. After Trump took office with a promise to “drill, baby, drill,” a widespread “climate hushing” fell across the country. Businesses suddenly stopped talking about the climate pledges they’d been trumpeting a few years earlier. Many congressional Democrats avoided talking about climate change directly, with the phrase vanishing from their speeches, social media accounts, and podcast appearances. Then the Trump administration went after news outlets, pulling public broadcasting funding from NPR and PBS stations and threatening to revoke the broadcast licenses of major networks over coverage Trump didn’t like.
