Kudos to @nytimes for writing this great piece on climate action!
I find it strange, however, how they describe how "no one used to care much about climate impacts" but never discuss the media's central responsibility for that result.

@nytimes Here's some great research by @boykoff + @JulesBoykoff that shows that the @nytimes and other major outlets gave an enormous amount of space to climate deniers' talking points.

@nytimes @boykoff @JulesBoykoff Here's a favorite paper from @J_Farrell showing that the exact language used in climate denier reports ended up in the media.
The media has had a lot of time and space for climate denial. Perhaps this is why people weren't that worried for quite a while?

@nytimes @boykoff @JulesBoykoff @J_Farrell Even now, less than one in four newspaper articles about heat waves mentions climate change, as analysis from @Public_Citizen shows.
And heat waves are very easily connected to climate change, according to scientific research.

@nytimes @boykoff @JulesBoykoff @J_Farrell @Public_Citizen A bunch of researchers have been trying to help the media make these links more easily by creating fact sheets that summarize climate attribution science.
Here's a great one on heat waves from @GeoffreySupran @ClimateComms @MaibachEd and colleagues.

@nytimes @boykoff @JulesBoykoff @J_Farrell @Public_Citizen @GeoffreySupran @ClimateComms @MaibachEd Myself and @EmilyLyWilliams have been making fact sheets on attribution for the media alongside @ClimateSignals.
Here is our first one on the links between climate change and wildfires. Last night I talked to some local fire chiefs about this!
