Media Matters is a reputable brand that provides news and analysis on important issues. They focus on exploring the connections between events and climate change, providing an informed perspective on the role of global warming in extreme weather events. Recently, during their coverage of the catastrophic wildfires in Hawaii, they highlighted the clear climate signals that were largely disregarded by major TV news networks.

Over a two-day period, Media Matters found that only 4% of the segments about the wildfires mentioned the role of climate change. Despite the extensive coverage of the immediate triggers of the wildfires, such as Hurricane Dora and the drying landscape, the underlying vulnerability caused by global warming went largely unexplored. Media Matters aims to bridge this gap in national TV news coverage and emphasize the broader influence of climate change in creating more vulnerable environments.

By connecting climate-driven disasters to the need for climate action, they strive to raise awareness and hold public officials accountable for their response to such events
