There appears to be evidence supporting the claim that media coverage of climate change has declined in recent years after reaching a peak.Data from the Media and Climate Change Observatory (MeCCO) at the University of Colorado Boulder, which tracks mentions of &#8220;climate change&#8221; or &#8220;global warming&#8221; in newspapers, TV, and radio worldwide, shows coverage generally increased over decades with notable spikes tied to events like IPCC reports, COP summits, and political developments. It reached its highest levels in 2021, coinciding with the Biden administration&#8217;s green agenda, the Glasgow COP26, and post-COVID recovery discussions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":121246920,"featured_media":419488,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_crdt_document":"","advanced_seo_description":"Explore the decline in climate change media coverage since 2021, with data from various studies revealing a significant drop in articles.","jetpack_seo_html_title":"Declining Media Coverage of Climate Change: 2021 Trends","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":true,"token":"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.yhCsLCde-zf5tt6yfUkKlYGpF_8pvxbfVgHYwRsqN-AMQ"},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[691835451,691818056,691840470,691819391,691826579,691840469,691818087,691840468],"class_list":{"0":"post-419481","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"hentry","7":"category-uncategorized","8":"tag-bidens-green-agenda","9":"tag-climate-change","10":"tag-cop-summits","11":"tag-covid-19-pandemic","12":"tag-ev-mandate","13":"tag-global-monitoring","14":"tag-global-warming","15":"tag-media-and-climate-change-observatory-mecco","17":"fallback-thumbnail"},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/AQMj_OsT2bs0W_unO0SRB6Px1hqZdOegjBGf5euf8deIVeVg1ET12GqfvCCCbsACa9SeME1XxXNQ-vQIle50zP2_uVCjQAzkiNqnqOxKB-kM3HmY1k6cYwH-rwNjxEOxxiR3HZ-KUivrRfuw2D21YEkIg6J9lQ.jpeg?fit=1280%2C1280&ssl=1","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/paxLW1-1L7P","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":439393,"url":"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?p=439393","url_meta":{"origin":419481,"position":0},"title":"Continuing Slump in Global Media Climate Agitprop Bodes Ill for Future Net Zero Support","author":"uwe.roland.gross","date":"14\/04\/2026","format":false,"excerpt":"The Media and Climate Change Observatory (MeCCO) at the University of Colorado Boulder released its annual review in early 2026: global media coverage of climate change or global warming fell another 14% in 2025 compared to 2024.
