If the media really cared about climate change, it would start telling the truth about it

See Trump the Climate Nonentity by Holman W. Jenkins. Excerpts:

"Even very large events, such as Covid or the collapse of Soviet industry, at most leave a noticeable indent only on the varying annual rate of emissions increase, not overall atmospheric CO2."

"The largest human CO2 event in history, the emergence of China as an industrial power, on an emissions graph appears only as a continuation of an uninterrupted upward trend since the Industrial Revolution."

"Last April came a small but telling explosion in the climate community. On behalf of the prestigious Council on Foreign Relations, a former John Kerry climate aide, Varun Sivaram, inaugurated a program dedicated to “climate realism.”"

"It conceded many long-obvious points: U.S. emissions have become too small a share of the global total to affect the climate outcome. With or without U.S. leadership, countries aren’t going to abandon a resource from which they’re profiting. The internationally agreed targets for restricting future warming are wholly chimerical."
