Blame the media for climate woes: analysis

OTTAWA - Mainstream U.S. media are to blame for stalled international
efforts to reach an agreement to fight climate change, according to a
new analysis released by a media watchdog group.

The report, in the latest edition of a magazine published by Fairness
and Accuracy in Reporting, said there are multiple examples of major
American media organizations watering down recent warnings from
peer-reviewed scientific literature about the consequences of global
warming and the human-produced pollution that is causing it.

The watchdog group based its analysis on a comparison of American and
British headlines and articles about the release of a series of
international reports that assessed the latest peer-reviewed on climate
change.
