Is this why the American public is so skeptical of global warming?

Despite there being a scientific consensus on global warming with it's denial among the scientific community virtually nonexistent (literally 0% of peer reviewed scientific articles have denied the effects of global warming), the slightly smaller half of Americans still deny that global climate change is real. According to a FAIR study, about 53% of articles from the popular press were skeptical of the effects of global warming taken from a 14-year period of time.
Is media bias the reason that so many Americans are in denial of science?

I'ld also bet money from oil and gas industry giants funding deniers so that we continue to be dependent on them despite the long term costs of doing so.

Edited by Obi Wan Stevobi: 5/14/2014 8:15:35 PMI don't think they are [i]that[/i] skeptical of the science, they just reject it because Al Gore talked about it. If it would have been purely presented as science, and not taken as a partisan issue, people wouldn't reject it on ideological grounds. Also, I'd guess a decent percentage actually agree with the science but say they don't just because they don't like proposed solutions.

Soviet science at its finest. Let's not forget we can have overtly environmentalist, yet still disputed, "science" in the arena too.

Britbong here, but my IT teacher recently said that climate change has no Human Involvement what-so-ever I lost some respect for him that day

John Oliver did a terrific segment on his new show, [i]Last Week Tonight[/i] on HBO, this past Sunday about this issue. It really boils down to horrendous media coverage. The rare times media outlets like CNN cover climate change, they pose it as a real debate, having one scientist debate one naysayer. Such a presentation completely hides the overwhelming scientific consensus about man-made climate change. On top of this, the actual amount of coverage is pretty deplorable. If CNN devoted half as much time on this issue as they did on the missing Malaysian plane, maybe people would care more and have better information. Finally, big oil companies and the right wing (with Fox News as their loudspeaker) perpetuate misleading or downright counter-factual information about this issue.

Everyone else has always been telling us that the world's going to end. Why would we listen to this "Science" guy?

inb4deniers. I bet that the CEOs of oil, gas and coal companies are all good friends with people like Rupert Murdoch.

Look at it this way, Americans who work for or are backed by companies that are partly responsible won't support it or accept it because it could hurt their careers
