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.
