In one area the media has done a pretty poor job of explaining climate change. In the mainstream traditional media outlets they really do try to be fair and balanced. But in the attempts to be so, they don't always represent the proportions of the opposing sides.
In most stories where they talk about the proponents and skeptics, they make it seem as though the debate is evenly split.
It's not.
In fact there's not really even any debate among climatologists.
Among climate scientists, 97% believe that not only is there climate change, but also that there is overwhelming evidence that it is caused by human activity.
So don't let your ideology could your thinking on policy. Instead of looking for anecdotes that fit your ideology, look at the data first then make a policy decision.
I'm glad to see that Arnold doesn't let ideology get in the way of taking the right policy stance.
