Why the Media Is Hiding the Truth About Climate Change w/ Josh Wheeler

What happens to the climate crisis… when the news stops talking about it?

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Josh Wheeler — founder of Be Broadcast and the mind behind Mission Control: The Climate Conversation — to explore the silent collapse of one of the most urgent stories of our time.

📊 After analysing 45,000+ UK broadcast segments, Josh reveals how climate change is framed by national media — and why coverage drops off the radar as soon as disaster headlines fade. Wildfires, floods, political summits… then silence.

🔥 We unpack:

Why climate coverage is fleeting, reactive & event-driven
How alarmist language like “ticking time bomb” drives eco-anxiety
The psychology of urgency and the power of friction in creating social change
How media shapes public trust, climate action & engagement
The paradox of extreme activism — it’s unpopular, but it works
Why regional broadcasters cover climate differently — and what it means for change-makers
What we can all do to keep the climate conversation alive

💬 This isn’t just a conversation about carbon footprints — it’s about attention, narrative, and power. And Josh, backed by hard data and deep insight, gives us a roadmap for progress.

If you’ve ever felt disillusioned by climate headlines or unsure how to stay engaged in a noisy world — this one’s for you.
