Media coverage of climate change

Climate change is when the Earth's temperature gets too hot. Media coverage of climate change happens when news reports about it are broadcasted or published. These news reports might show people discussing why the Earth's temperature is rising and what we can do to stop it. They might include stories about scientists studying climate change or talk to people who have seen its effects in their everyday lives. Most important, media coverage of climate change spreads the message that we all need to work together to stop it.
