Climate change and how to combat it will be one of the big wedge issues at the next UK General Election. There are plenty of good intentions and much enshrined in law following the various UN COP summits. How many of them will be jettisoned on the way to electoral victory. How will the British media report it?
This timely book brings together twenty-five journalists, commentators, and academics to discuss the way the UK media has covered climate change written in a snappy, approachable way.
