Call it a climate crisis!

We need television news to call the climate crisis exactly what it is: a climate crisis.

In 2018, only 3.5% of national television news segments that mentioned climate change referred to it as a crisis or emergency.

Words matter. When networks consistently fail to treat climate change as a crisis or emergency, they unwittingly enable complacency and inaction.

It’s long past time for the media to call the climate crisis what it is -- and to cover it with the regularity, focus, and depth that an urgent, existential threat merits.

Tell the major news networks: Call it a climate crisis!
