#1: The Oh-so-bad Media
Global Warming = $$$$$$$$. I think everyone has to agree with me on that. Of course the ultimate goal of the media is to get the hottest latest news and slam it right smack front and center on their headline. Why? MONEY. This is where it becomes the problem. It is known that the media loves to jump the wagon and exaggerate stories especially with the topic of Global Warming. When the Global Warming concerns were brought up, the people made it too easy for the media....almost like an open goldmine. Who wouldn't join in and take a dab at it? As Crichton mention in his novel, humans likes to stay at a constant "state of fear"; therefore, it only makes sense for the media to continue to build a story upon fears for the future and insists on what-ifs. However, we must still keep in mind that there is still a plus side to the media. Although the media has a negative image, but we must acknowledge the fact that it still provide us with the latest information and gives us an idea of whats happening. Now it's up to the individual to decide their self if they buy the story or not. Overall the media interests lays with the money so beware.
