If you have a feeling that the media is covering the climate crisis LESS these days, your feeling is correct.
Newspaper coverage of climate change around the globe dropped 6% from May to June 2025 -- and by 28% compared to June 2024, despite increasing frequency and severity of climate-fueled extreme weather events.
