Record TX Drought, Record Year For Weather Disasters In 2011 & Network Climate Coverage Down By 50%+
Amid a historic drought in Texas, a presidential election and a year of record-breaking extreme weather events, multiple studies show news coverage of climate change took a steep plunge in 2011.
"This is really a very low point," said Robert Brulle, a professor of environmental policy at Drexel University.
Brulle has been following television news coverage of climate change on the three major network stations -- NBC, ABC and CBS -- for decades. Last year, he found that the number of stories on climate change in the three nightly news broadcasts fell by more than half, from 32 stories in 2010 to 14 stories in 2011, and was way down from the peak of 147 stories in 2007.
"It's an order of magnitude of difference," he said. The amount of air time also dropped by nearly two-thirds, said Brulle, from 90 minutes and 28 seconds in 2010 to 32 minutes and 20 seconds in 2011.

Problem? What problem?
Northern California. 
and I saw Rangeley Lake (in Maine) wide open in mid-January yesterday - on my way to a major ski area that had only TWO trails open.
and no one in the right mind would go out on the ice in southern Maine.
Proving once again that global warming is a fraud.
