I'll be speaking about the press's mixed record covering global warming with Brook Gladstone on the great NPR show "On the Media" this Sunday morning, and then streaming on the Web thereafter. Should be fun, provocative, and revealing. The main subject will be the strange Senate hearing called by Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma, outgoing chairman of the Environment & Pub Works Committee.
You can replay the hearing here: http://epw.senate.gov/epwmultimedia/epwmultimedia.htm
I've been covering climate change for 20 years in magazines, two books, a prize-winning documentary and more than 250 stories for The New York Times.

"The supposed subject of discussion was 'Climate Change in the Media' though no-one thought to question why the Senate was so concerned with the media representations (Andy Revkin makes some good points about it though here)."
I have been of the opinion that most of the cllimate hysteria has more to do with politcal motivations than actual pending disasters.
I have no doubt that the climate experiences a change in its "normal condition" going from various extremes of hot and cold for so far , unknown reasons. I don't for minute believe we are changing the weather, we can't even make it significanlty rain.
