Kyle Pope says the science is clear, but too often journalists are not. For too long, the U.S. media have downplayed and distorted the climate change story, with devastating consequences. That’s why he has co-founded a new initiative involving over 60 news organizations to get the story right.
Brian Ott

Brian Ott is a communications scholar who examines the intersection of rhetoric, media and democratic discourse. He says the President has spearheaded a credibility crisis, and it relies on all of us to repair the damage.
