The media is interested in global warming for the same reason politics are. It’s gained some momentum in the public and now that there is a call for information both parties are going to show some commitment. In the case of the media it is for personal gain. The media is conveniently based on ratings and popularity. With several different types of media and within those different types many more different sources it’s only natural that the competition is motive. With the people having more access to information the media now tends to side with either the politics or what will give them more ratings sometimes these overlap such as the case of global warming. With multiple politicians giving claims for and against global warming its given the big news groups sides to choose upon. When the lines are drawn both sides will bring in whatever specialist that will provide them with the information that backs the story. Most media will even bring in the opposition just so they can bring in another specialist to debunk them. Its almost like the old school playground were the popular kids would bring in people just to show everyone else who’s really the top dog per-se.
