Climate science in media.

Recently the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) has analysed the major cable news networks' climate science coverage in 2013 and found that each network treated climate science very differently. The result shows that Fox News was the least accurate; 72 per cent of its 2013 climatescience related segments contained misleading statements. CNN was in the middle , with 30 per cent inaccuracy ;while MSNBC was the most accurate , with only eight per cent of segments containing misleading statements. The above finding shows how the public are being served misleading information about climate science.
