National Public Radio just made the baffling decision to drastically 
reduce its staff dedicated to covering climate change and the 
environment, leaving just one part-time reporter on the beat.

NPR’s decision is part of a disturbing anti-science trend within the 
news media—the number of newspapers that included a weekly science 
section has shrunk from 85 to just 19 in the past 25 years.

And with deliberately misleading coverage from conservative outlets like 
Fox News, the American public is actively misinformed about climate 
change. In just one year (2013), the percentage of Americans who don’t 
believe in climate change actually went up 7%.

*Sign the petition by Daily Kos and CREDO to National Public Radio: One 
part-time reporter is not enough. Reverse the decision to slash your 
team of reporters covering climate change and the environment.

Keep fighting,
