Climate change and U.S. politics
“Where is the press?” asks Carl Pope in the Huffington Post, about media coverage of American electoral politics. “How can it be that, out of 2,679 questions asked of the candidates since January 2007 by the national press, only three questions have mentioned global warming?
Great question.

Wondering (with no
Wondering (with no presuppositions) whether coverage of climate change might have peaked in Canada, I did a Factiva search for all Canadian news sources mentioning the phrase “climate change” in the three fall months (Sep-Nov) for the past four years. (I chose those months to avoid coverage of last December’s Bali conference, which was of course a blow-out political story.) Results: there were 4,323 stories in that period in 2007, compared with 2,571 in ’06, 1,315 in ’05, and 483 in ’04. Seems no peak in sight, yet.
