The Yale Forum on Climate Change & The Media |

Time magazine's Jeffrey Kluger cover story "Global Warming Heats Up," with its "Be Worried. Be VERY Worried" cover drove so-called climate "contrarians" up the wall with anger over what they virtually described as journalistic malpractice. The March 23, 2006, cover story has become one of the standards illustrating what many see as a major change in how much of the media treat climate change science – giving less attention in the name of "balance" to the contrarians and accepting at least two key aspects of climate change as virtually established science: the earth is getting warmer, and human actions are a significant cause of the warming.
