While I agree that climate change is the dominant issue of our time, I disagree that media is underexposing it. There is quite a lot of unwarranted climate doomsaying. To give an example, in the coverage of natural disasters like wildfires and hurricanes they keep drawing a link to climate change and saying this will get worse and worse due to climate change. But what the IPCC actually says is this: Increasing exposure of people and economic assets has been the major cause of long-term increases in economic losses from weather- and climate-related disasters (high confidence). Long-term trends in economic disaster losses adjusted for wealth and population increases have not been attributed to climate change, but a role for climate change has not been excluded (high agreement, medium evidence). [1] The message that what is causing these major natural disasters is mostly people living and building in the wrong places, not climate change, is what the media should be saying, but they tend to link it almost entirely to climate change, which is an overstatement.
