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.

What The Experts Say I

In the article "Global Warming Will Happen Faster Than We Think," Yangyang Xu, Veerabhadran Ramanathan and David G. Victor urge people to panic about the future reality of our planet. They began by illustrating the tremendous catastrophes countries and people experienced in 2018 like the massive wildfires in California due to an increase in droughts. The main cause of the predicted rapid increase of global warming is a result of the increase of greenhouse gases and decrease of air pollution (Xu, Ramanathan, & Victor, 2018). This decrease of air pollution plays a vital role in shading the Earth's surface from the sun. The problem is that emissions are accelerating. These specialists warn that global warming needs to stop at a 1.5 degrees Celsius increase, instead of the 2.0 degrees Celsius increase as proposed in the Paris Agreement (Xu, Ramanathan, & Victor, 2018). This excess 0.5 degrees Celsius increase could cause a horrific increase in natural disasters and h...

For Further Research

For further research on the topic of global warming, I would recommend the following three sources: 1. UN News The United Nations (I.e. UN) is an intergovernmental organization (I.e. IGO) that seeks to harmonize actions of member states and resolve common issues. UN News examines a wide range of issues including climate change, health and the SDGs (I.e. Sustainable Development Goals). This IGO also categorizes issues by geographical location such as Africa, Americas, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Europe making it easier to search for specific events and topics. 2. NASA News NASA is one of the best climate research institutes in the world. Their mission is "Global Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet". Here you can find some of the latest news, technical data and innovative solutions. 3. WWF News World Wildlife Fund (I.e. WWF) not only focuses on climate change, but the effect it has on the biosphere. This nongovernmental organization (NG...
