Fox News Depiction of Climate Change Sample Clauses

Fox News Depiction of Climate Change. This section will identify the focussing event. The most obvious focussing event as described by Xxxxxxxx (1998) would be climate change. However, after the search on Xxxxxxx.xxx, the focussing event is not climate change, but environmental regulations. The environmental regulations harm certain communities, mainly the fossil-fuel industry. These groups mobilize their communities (fossil-fuel industry-funded think tanks) to argue that these climate regulations are failures and should be changed. For instance, on April 19th of 2014, Fox News published an article in their science category with the headline: “deepening divide over climate change sparks fierce debate” (Xxxxxxxx, 2014). The article quotes an IPCC report and asks the Vice-President of the Heritage Foundation to reflect on the message of that report. He states “the dirty little secret is, we are now at 17 years and 8 months of no global warming. Their models have failed year in and year out”. Thereafter, sceptics of the GOP have their say on the matter stating “the costs of trying to limit emissions vastly exceed the benefits” (Mckelway, 2014). The article questions the sheer amount of regulations and argues that global warming impacts modestly and in line with “natural variability” (Mckelway, 2014). The studies Fox News frequently refers to are reported by conservative think tanks (i.e. Heritage Foundation, Cato Institute and Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx). In doing so, Fox News creates narratives in which the problem is not climate change but the number of environmental regulations. For example, the article “new study says; threat of man-made global-warming greatly exaggerated”. The new study it refers to is a report produced by the Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx in which they state that the amount of human impact on the climate is low and thus in line with the natural variability of the climate (Mckelway, 2013). This is part of the greater narrative that Fox News articles with “new studies” have. Meaning, the new studies are produced by conservative think tanks that reject the notion of man-made climate change and argue that climate change policies hurt the US economy. The narrative story in question are mostly stories of decline as they show a fraction of the story and do not provide context (Stone, 2011). Furthermore, several articles defend the climate change sceptics, stating that they are as (or even more) knowledgeable as climate change believer scientists. To reduce selection bias, this thesis also choose s...
