Tell the Media There is No Other Side to Global Warming

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.

I want to see some scientific facts; such as, the rise in global temperatures, the melting of the ice caps, the species that are on the brink of extinction, the disappearance of fresh water, and food shortages due to floods and droughts.

I want to see more on sustainable alternative fuels and building an infrastructure for them.

The media needs to take it seriously. They have a great deal of influence on the American public and the responsibility that goes along with it. Please start telling the truth, it is documented!

The truth is what the people need. Just because you are ignoring a problem doesn't stop it!

Now that the media "owner's" is conglomerated to a few - it should not hide the truth!

No "Spin." Just the Truth -- in your reporting. The human race's future and that of the planet and millions of other forms of life --plants and animals-- depend on it.

Real and factual coverage of global warming and solutions. Keep politics out of it and tell the public the truth.
