As an assistant editor and analyst
for the Business and Media Institute of the Media Research Center, the author
addresses how media hype is contributing to people's perceptions of global
warming today. She explains that weather and climate are two different
occurrences and that idea that wacky weather is caused by global warming still
requires proof. The article also insists mainstream stories in the media, like “The
New York Times,” are just as biased as websites like the “Huffington Post”
which contributes to the general public’s stance on global warming. It is her
opinion that the media is leading the public to believe false information about
global warming and encouraging the public to express opinions that were
horribly misguided. Continuing to describe how the influence of the media is
encouraging the public to become “alarmists,” the author stands her ground that
trying to prove global warming exists by using unrelated weather events as
examples is an ignorant approach.
