The Portrayal and Importance of Climate Change in the Media

This blog will not only introduce to you, current events about the environment and climate change today, but how they are portrayed in the media. The sole aim is to educate people about the global issue of global warming and how different countries are acting on resolving this problem that is affecting everyone.


I believe that this issue is relevant and important to discuss in our world today because this is a global issue that affects everyone. Climate change is a vital issue that will only worsen if people do not act now. Everything from animals entering the International Union for Conservation of Nature (I.e. IUCN) Red List at a rapid pace to governments implementing new environmental acts is captured in the media regarding the future of the environment we live in. Therefore, it is necessary to stay up to date on the issue and through the media learn how we can act on saving the planet.

    Dear Veronica,

    I think that the issue you chose for your blog is both interesting and important in the modern society. As the media is the most influential information tools in the present world, there is a strong need of keeping up with the recent publications on such a concerning aspect for the future of human nation as global warming.
    It would also positively affected your blog if you changed the color of the background, as the text is very difficult to understand.

Current Events I

In this past week, young 16-year-old activist, Greta Thunberg, gave a tear jerking speech at the European Parliament as well as the UK Parliament on climate change. Brave Miss Thunberg, holding back tears, preached to the MOP about the urgency to act upon the issue of global warming. When speaking to the European Parliament, she referred to the immediate attention the Notre Dame received just the day before and how this attention and energy must be transmitted to a more global issue - the global crisis known as global warming. She speaks to the UK Parliament about the never-ending promises of reducing CO2 emissions, in the country known for the start of the industrialization period, but the failure to commit to these promises. As she finished both of her speeches, she received positive feedback from the MOP, but she was not looking for gratitude on her moving speech or sympathy on what people have down to the Earth, but rather action.
