Climate Change and Media Reporting

Good on you Media Watch!. Last night Jonathan Holmes provided a succinct and interesting take on the bias against factual reporting of Climate Change in the commercial media. He clearly laid out the bias of these radio stations and showed their lack of balance, factual veracity and general bad reporting of the topic.
I have issues with inviting many skeptics on such shows, mainly because the short time period on radio reporting cannot give even the modest amount of data needed to understand the topic (unless of course you have read multiple books, journals and other in-depth publications). Its all emotion and poor reasoning.

My scientist family generally has the ability to seek beyond the 3 min sound-bite in search of factual information. ABC The Drum also reported on bias in programs on the ABC on Climate Change last year and its take on the problem was interesting also. But as they said - "But if I were running a science show on the ABC, I might well feel that what should guide me is the science, not shifts in popular opinion"

Yes the weather is changing and so is the climate. One you can see if you look out the window (weather), the other is a long-term, mathematical construct with huge variables and specific regional variations.
I can understand radio talk back hosts not being very good with numbers as per this statement(and I quote from Media Watch)
Alan Jones: Nature produces nearly all of the carbon dioxide in the air. Human beings produce point 001 percent of the carbon dioxide in the air...— 2GB Sydney, The Alan Jones Breakfast Show, 15th March, 2011

That's one of Australia's highest rating radio hosts with a very odd figure. The fact is that almost 30% of the carbon dioxide in the air is there because of human activity in the past two hundred years - and that's thirty thousand times more than Alan Jones's point 001%"

But isn't that why we have calculators and the people able to use them??
Please a bit of humility. But I forget again - after all who's paying these people??
Follow the money!
