Wen Stephenson's piece in the Phoenix is getting a lot of attention right now. Stephenson argues that there is a massive culture of shirking going on about global climate change--among journalists. He argues, very passionately, that climate change is the top issue of our times, and that even in an election, media coverage of the issue is nowhere near where it needs to be: which is that this is an emergency demanding crisis-level coverage.

You are right but I meant the Indifference in India.
