I don’t know about media coverage in the US (I don’t live there) but all main news outlets of the world like the BBC, France 24, DW, CNN, probably VOA have a rather good coverage of the issue. It’s not like the 1990’s when we were seen as neo-hippies for worrying on these “trivial” matters. Today everyone is in (even the rich). Just two days ago Richard Quest was reporting on the effect of climate change on the wine industry in France (together with Trump’s new tariffs on the industry). Things are becoming simpler every year: If we don’t invest on the energy transition, there will be no more luxury wines (at affordable prices) anymore.
Yet there is the power of habit and the ego-based belief (of some people) that their way of doing things is the best way of doing things.
One example is the economy. If the government messes with the economy instead of letting the market readjust itself on its own, you will end up crushing the economy:

So this is very similar. Actually, the market is shifting toward clean energies (on its own). And the west is terrified of more advanced and cheaper Chinese E-vehicles (and solar and wind panels) flooding the market.
That’s where we need some sort of organization of the issue. If there is a climate emergency, can we not use these Chinese products to our advantage while doing the necessary to protect local manufacturers?
/These are the challenges we are facing and I hate how Putin messed with the world in a time like this. Now everyone is back to investing into their militaries (France boosted its spending by 100% so did many other European countries) while the climate crisis is there still sitting in our lap
