Study: Media Under-Reported Climate Science During UN Copenhagen Summit
-----------------------------------------------------------------------



And a new media study argues climate science was significantly
under-reported in the media’s coverage of the U.N. Copenhagen
environmental summit last year. According to Oxford University’s Reuters
Institute for the Study of Journalism, less than 10 percent of articles
written about the Copehnagen conference focused on climate science. Much
of the coverage instead focused on the so-called controversy surrounding
the stolen emails from a British university that were hyped by global
warming deniers. The study comes ahead of a follow-up summit in Mexico
beginning later this month.
