Covering Climate Change: Views From the New York Times

NEW YORK, February 22, 2024 - Seasoned climate journalists Somini Sengupta, Raymond Zhong, and Jesse Pesta share insights into the issues of climate change, evaluating how well the media is effectively reaching the public and identifying gaps in coverage to better move people to action. Orville Schell, vice president and Arthur Ross director of the Asia Society Center for U.S.-China Relations, moderates the conversation. (1 hr., 9 min.)

China is the largest Carbon emitter because you have decided to outsource your industry to China.

[@Milto21]

Exactly!

[@BobQuigley]

The Asian society panel has one asian? So American. Could you imagine a Chinese organization The American society? Our nation is sooo full of itself.

Co2 is good Food for all plantlife and trees and all life

[@BobQuigley]

hey little boy! Any scientific evidence? Do your homework and learn your statement is not correct.

[@Milto21]

Of course. You are so right. They hate the truth.

[@Milto21]

@@BobQuigley what he said is completely accurate. Where is your science debunking his assertion? Oh... there isn't any.

Everyone is forgetting that we need warmer climate. The world's population continues to increase and we need oxygen and food, climate change is the world adapting to our population growth and needs. Over 80% of the world's oxygen comes from the summer Phytoplankton Bloom, longer summers have a longer Phytoplankton Bloom and produce more oxygen. Longer summers create longer growing seasons in which to produce more food at higher latitudes for human & livestock consumption. We need climate change if we are going to continue to grow our human & livestock populations.

Science aliterates are forgetting that a warmer climate is a different climate with pros and cons. More cons. Why do you wish worse upon the people?

@@scottekoontzWhere a person falls on the climate change issue has more to do with people's psychology, Pessimist, Optimist, or Realist. The Climate Change Activist are Pessimist: see the worst aspect of things or believe that the worst will happen. Some people are optimist: tends to be hopeful and confident about the future. I am a Realist: things are changing but I see many positives since the world population keeps growing, the change in temperatures went exponential after 1960 when the world's population grew from 3 billion to over 8 billion, we need the benefits of a warmer climate, plants/algae/phytoplankton love CO2 because photosynthesis combines CO2 and Water to produce Oxygen and Carbohydrates, we need the oxygen & food. Humans are effecting the balance, population growth is the cause, more CO2 is the solution.

Very low class discussion

[@littleboy437]

Drama not necessary😊

3 homeless people & a yellow guy.

[@scottekoontz]

The US has millions of science aliterates, and they are very loud.

[@littleboy437]

Yea Spring Summer Fall and Winter

[@Milto21]

So true @littleboy437 It is hard to imagine that this mundane reality somehow escapes these folks who are consumed by a myth.

[@scottekoontz]

Hard to imagine that people still confuse seasons with AGW. Somehow the science deniers and aliterates want to be surrounded by myth.

[@bridgeroad9758]

this old guy is stubborn

[@Milto21]

And demented, but not as lost as Miss Splain.... things

[@littleboy437]

78% of Earth is Water

[@BobQuigley]

Not an accurate statement.

[@littleboy437]

There are 8 × more Pola bears than 30 years ago

[@TheDanEdwards]

It's like you don't know that by prohibiting the hunting of polar bears that more of said bears can continue to live.

[@BobQuigley]

A statement of fact without evidence? Useless

[@littleboy437]

7 × more die from cold

[@TheDanEdwards]

All you do is spout nonsense.

[@BobQuigley]

Little boy, take your meds like mommy asks.

[@Milto21]

If you get one of those things on your nose, you might start to believe BS too.
