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?

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.
