A few conclusions stand out:
• ABC and NBC did not mention climate change in the context of Harvey at all.8 Only one other news source, The New York Post, failed to clear that minimal hurdle.
• Climate coverage was highly concentrated among a handful of outlets. The top four outlets by volume of pieces that mention climate (The Washington Post, CNN, The Houston Chronicle, and The New York Times) produced 72 percent of pieces that mention it (98 pieces). The remaining 28 percent of coverage, 38 pieces, was scattered across 10 sources. That figure includes three pieces that deny any connection between climate change and Harvey, as well as two more that give voice to deniers or skeptics. (Again, three sources failed to mention climate change at all.)
• Only five outlets covered all seven aspects of the climate issue that this analysis considered: CNN, The Houston Chronicle, The L.A. Times, The New York Times, and The Washington Post. The Denver Post, Time, and USA Today covered six of seven. The Chicago Tribune covered just two. Despite running five pieces that mentioned climate change, The Wall Street Journal covered only one aspect of the issue that this analysis considered.
