Only 10% of national TV news about flooding in the Northeast mentioned climate change

I am appalled that only 10% of national TV news segments about the catastrophic flooding in the Northeast mentioned climate change. This is a clear case of the media failing to do its job.

Climate change is a major contributing factor to the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, such as floods. The scientific evidence is clear that climate change is real and that it is caused by human activities.

The media has a responsibility to inform the public about the risks of climate change and to hold our leaders accountable for taking action. By failing to mention climate change in their coverage of the flooding, the media is doing a disservice to the public and is helping to perpetuate the climate crisis.

I urge the media to do better. We need to be informed about the risks of climate change so that we can take action to protect ourselves and our planet.

**Call to action *

If you are concerned about the media's failure to report on climate change, here are some things you can do:

* Contact your local news outlets and demand that they do a better job of covering climate change.

* Share this post on social media and encourage others to do the same.

* Support organizations that are working to raise awareness about climate change.

We need to make our voices heard. The media needs to know that we care about climate change and that we demand that they report on it accurately:

Unfortunately, I believe the media thinks it only has a responsibility to its advertisers. If the advertisers don't want climate change mentioned, the media tries to avoid mentioning it.
