Tell the Media There is No Other Side to Global Warming

Target: Fox News, CNN, NBC News
Sponsored by: Alliance for Climate Protection
The recent presidential primaries have highlighted a key imbalance in the media's coverage of global warming.

A League of Conservation Voters' study found that ABC's George Stephanopoulos asked presidential candidates more than 767 questions in a debate -- only 5 of which were related to global warming. CNN's Wolf Blitzer asked more than 402 questions -- only 5 were about global warming. Sadly, other political commentators and reporters have shown a similar disregard for this key issue.

Not to mention, when global warming is covered, many media outlets still bring on "scientists" who claim that global warming is not real, even though an overwhelming majority of scientists agree that it is. This is not balanced - this is deceiving. The public deserves responsible reporting on this critical issue.

Sign the petition today to tell these media outlets that global warming needs to be covered, and it needs to be covered in a meaningful and truly balanced manner.

Dear [media outlet],

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the coverage of the issue of global warming on your network.

Scientists around the world agree that global warming is a serious threat and a critical issue that must be acted on immediately. And yet, your network seems to either ignore that it exists, or treats it as an issue that is not yet determined to be real.

This is deceiving and irresponsible. As a member of the media, it is your responsibility to educate the public about these critical issues, and I urge you to do so in your daily coverage, and particularly with the upcoming elections.

Sincerely,
[Your name here]
We took action on “Tell the Media There is No Other Side to Global Warming”!

You have got to stop trying to hide, or say there is another side to global warming! Face it, there is! If you don't act now, no one will! Don't be selfish, think about the next generation!
