What forces have conspired so that millions of Americans believe that the overwhelming majority of scientists are dead wrong about climate change? It seems at times that facts are just pesky talking points to be swatted away by other talking points. Is this the result of a corporate-sponsored news media controlled by the bottom-line, or is it the fault of an audience hungry to believe what it wants to hear? We explore these questions today on Sea Change Radio first by talking with Shauna Theel of [Media Matters](http://mediamatters.org/), who tells us about her organization’s [recent study](http://mediamatters.org/research/2014/01/16/study-how-broadcast-news-covered-climate-change/197612) that tracks how the network news programs discuss climate change. Next, we dip into the archives as host [Alex Wise ](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Wise)talks environmental messaging with prominent linguistics professor, [George Lakoff](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Lakoff).
