CNN has done so much to tarnish their reputation that my gut reaction is to distrust the information they discuss simply based on their past behavior. I think these mainstream publications are actually harming the causes they seek to highlight. It seems there are others in this thread that feel the same way.

Ok but please don’t let your disappointment in CNN become yet another excuse for you or other people to keep ignoring the brutal realities of climate change.

How can anyone on HN ignore it when there are a dozen climate emergency articles on the front page every day? Fatigue is setting in.

We should plan for it, not ban another “plastic straw”

We the people dont need to pay more taxes but the polluting companies should. We the people should not keep doing the polluting companies favours by focusing on complaining about things like veggie burgers and paper straws. We should keep demanding real action.

If you think paper straws and tree planting is dumb and useless (which I can totally relate to), don’t use that to mock the whole enterprise but pressure all the politicians to resist the moneyed interests and take meaningful action.

I know that is a risk but it is only made worse by talking about the useless stuff and not talking about the real actions that should be directed towards the large corporations.

CNN is led by the people who sell garbage “reality” tv shows on Discovery channel and whatnot. That should give people enough pause before investing much in what CNN publishes.
