We are living in a time of extreme economic inequality. What is the current picture? What are the driving causes of inequality? What will it take to reverse these trends-- and how do we do it in the context of a finite planet?

Doom and Gloom Dominates Climate Change News

Nearly 80 percent of news articles about climate change either warn of current or future disaster scenarios related to global warming, or contain discussions about the uncertainty of climate science, an Oxford study of 350 news articles from 2007 to 2012 has found.

Fewer than two percent of the articles from the media in six countries discussed opportunities to be gained from switching to a lower-carbon economy.

Journalists were attracted to "gloom and doom" stories about climate-related disasters, the team wrote, which is in line with findings from previous studies.

Uncertainty was discussed in nearly 80 percent of the articles, which the researchers say poses a problem for dealing with climate change because it keeps debate focused on what's considered conclusive proof of global warming, rather than directing discussion toward the comparative costs and risks of different policy options.

Australia and the U.S. published the highest proportion of articles featuring climate skeptics who emphasized the uncertainties of climate science.
