TV meteorologist Chris Gloninger faced intensifying harassment as he did more reporting on climate change during local newscasts.
A decade ago, far fewer TV meteorologists were talking about climate change on air, although they wanted to do so, said Edward Maibach, the director of the Center for Climate Change Communication at George Mason University.
Now TV meteorologists across the country report on climate change, though Maibach said they don’t always use those words. It is increasingly common to at least show its effects, he said, like highlighting the trend of more days in a year hitting temperatures above 90 degrees .“If you stop reporting on relevant and important facts about what’s going on in your community because you’re hearing from the one out of 10, it means you are not serving the other nine out of 10,” Maibach said.
“You want to know how you can best succeed with these conditions,” he said. “Because at that point, it’s survival.” The gaps between Republicans’ and Democrats’ confidence in both the scientific community and the news media have beenof polling by the General Society Survey, a long-standing trends survey conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago. But confidence in both declined across the aisle last year.
