I do think that the standard media is controlled by the conventional wisdom about global warming. We've come to believe - from reading a lot of articles and talking to a lot of scientists - that there's another side to be heard.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The U.S. news media have a critical role to play in educating the public about climate change.
Unfortunately the global warming hysteria, as I see it, is driven by politics more than by science.
Most North Americans know that human-caused global warming is real, even if political leaders don't always reflect or act on that knowledge.
I have been one of the guys who have been skeptical of global warming from the beginning. The jury is obviously still out on it. We see nothing but conflicting reports from across the globe. I'm not sure; I'm not a scientist.
You know, I get frustrated with our country's administration, which is really the people who are not acknowledging global warming. I mean, it's accepted by scientists around the world, scientists in our country and it's accepted by every country around the world with the exception of the United States.
Faced with the evidence, many deniers have started to admit that global warming is real, but argue that humans have little or nothing to do with it.
I've been producing documentaries on global warming for 20 years and have seen the early warnings of extreme weather events come true.
How is it that, in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence, there are still some who would deny the dangers of climate change? Not surprisingly, the loudest voices are not scientific, and it is remarkable how many economists, lawyers, journalists and politicians set themselves up as experts on the science.
Scientists have been warning about global warming for decades. It's too late to stop it now, but we can lessen its severity and impacts.
The question of whether or to what extent human activities are causing global warming is not a matter of ideology, let alone of belief. The issue is simply one of risk management.
