Frozen Out: 98% of Stories Ignore That Ice-bound Ship Was On Global Warming Mission

A group of climate change scientists were rescued by helicopter Jan. 2, after being stranded in the ice since Christmas morning. But the majority of the broadcast networks’ reports about the ice-locked climate researchers never mentioned climate change.

The Russian ship, Akademic Shokalskiy, was stranded in the ice while on a climate change research expedition, yet nearly 98 percent of network news reports about the stranded researchers failed to mention their mission at all. Forty out of 41 stories (97.5 percent) on the network morning and evening news shows since Dec. 25 failed to mention climate change had anything to do with the expedition.

And 0% are mentioning that the Southern Hemisphere is in high summer right now.

I’m not worried about “coastlines flooding”, London, Venice and many other ancient cities were in existence during the last warming period. And nobody back then noticed that they were living underwater, if so they neglected to mention it.

I am however worried about something else…
