             MEDIA IGNORES PUBLIC'S VIEWS ON CLIMATE CHANGE

  (Mr. SMITH of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SMITH of Texas. Mr. Speaker, Americans are skeptical about the 
news they receive on climate change. A recent Gallup poll found that 46 
percent of Americans believe that the Earth's natural changes are the 
primary cause of climate change. Americans are split as to the cause of 
any climate change. However, the liberal national media only portrays 
one side of the story.
  Over the last month, every New York Times and Washington Post article 
on this topic attributed warmer temperatures solely to human activity. 
Not one mentioned that natural changes could partially be the cause.
  What is amazing is that, with all the media bias blaming humans for 
climate change, half of all Americans still remain skeptical. Americans 
deserve all the facts about climate change, not just the one side the 
liberal national media are trying to promote.
