Five years ago, when natural disasters occurred, the media did not make the connection to climate change so they have made progress. Now they should discuss the causes of climate change, explaining that burning fossil fuels is responsible for 75% of CO2 emissions. Renewable energy is now more economical to build than fossil fuel plants. Our government subsidizes fossil fuels and the fossil fuel industry greenwashes their business. It is time the media starts pointing this out. ~ Nancy Hasenfus, Brunswick
