Climate change: Is the media failing us? Why journalists fail to adequately report on climate change. (video)

Description: 

"On The Listening Post this week we bring you a special show on climate change and the news coverage that seldom matches the scale and the urgency of the problem. This year, once again, extreme weather events - hurricanes, floods, wildfires - have provided the news media with the opportunity to address a planet-sized elephant in the room: climate change. But once the storm has passed, the media too moves on. The latest round of global climate talks is happening right now in Germany but the media attention has been sparse. Earlier this year, climate change came second in an international public survey of global threats and yet journalists still regularly fall short. The Listening Post?s Will Yong asks why."
