Spinning the Climate Stuff
OPINION: With the winter months officially here, I trust all is well at your place.
According to one pundit, media coverage of climate change in politics dropped a whopping 41% last year compared to 2024.
Reporting on emissions was also down 20%.
Ironically, the ‘Greens’ have followed suit, dialling back their emphasis on what used to be their core mission because they sense voters are over it.
Journalist Graham Adams put it succinctly, saying ‘climate politics is in retreat, and the Greens are leading the way’.
They’ve sidelined environmentalism for a mishmash of social justice causes.
Chloe Swarbrick basically admitted as much, saying it’s tough to get people fired up about climate if they can’t put food on the table.
