When #Copernicus published its update "April 2024 was warmer globally than any previous April in the data record" I heard it in a casual radio message, followed by an update on football.
Even though I have to deal with #ClimateChange professionally, the realization that we are in an uncharted climate territory does not make it any less mind-boggling. Casually mentioning this unfolding threat to our civilization in between the really relevant news and sports borders with denialism. #DontLookUp
@TatianaIlyina We are absolutely of the same opinion! And I'm a big fan of #solutionsJournalism, which is unfortunately completely underrepresented in Germany.
The problem is only: The pure news have to be reduced to some short facts with a hint: "this is a sign of climate crisis" (like the result of the football game or the number of dead in a shooting).
For deepening this we have different formats outside the news. And there it depends very much on the inhouse politics, unfortunately.
