Using State of Fear, discuss why the media is so interested in global warming

According to the excerpt from State of Fear, it’s the notion of social control. “….To the requirement of every sovereign state……to keep paying taxes……. is best managed by fear” (pg500). The media is believed to using fear to promote safety. The reason for the media to do is not explicit but it may be to generate revenues. What was crystal clear though, was that FEAR is the tool politicians used to control the people. According to the passage, the media is so interesting in Global warming because of its dedication to promote fear, the effects of global warming is right up its streets. Associated with Global warming is the effect the effect of melting of the glaciers which would have a CATASTROPHIC effect on the sea level and the marine life, rise in ambient temperature, and a host of other bi-products from this phenomenon….hence its interests.
It would not be absurd to imply that since the media is tool that informs the world, the politicians spend tidy sums of money to get there messages across to its people. In this case the media does not have a environmental concern from global warming but a financial appreciation because this is what pay the bills and keep the investors happy.
