Well, not from global warming itself, but the media gains a lot from scaremongering, people are much more likely to buy a newspaper if it's headline involves them dieing the next day.
Anyways, I don't really know, and neither does anyone else on this forum. They like to think that they know, but instead, they just side with the politicians that they agree with. |
What did the media have to gain from the bird flu scare? (which is as big of a threat now then it has ever been, but people think its gone becuase the media isn't covering it anymore). Scientists get funding, media gets money, politicans get power and can get stupid shit passed by caliming its to "fight global warming" (while many scients have stated that we are trending towards and ice age, and that even now the earth warming a few degrees would increase human prosperity overall)
