msnbc video [7.5 minutes]: Climate wars heat up over global warming
Environmentalist David de Rothschild and author Michael Mann join MSNBC’s NOW with Alex Wagner to discuss the debate over global warming and the media’s representation of the climate wars as the world responds to its environmental troubles.

#msnbc having a "debate" on climate change with three guests, all of whom believe in man made global warming, as does the presenter. Debate?
de Rothschild, from the transcript available at the top link above:
...one of main thing is the narrative and the words that we are using to explain thing, and we went from global warming to climate change and now from climate change to energy security and kind of put it in a consumption issue rather than pollution or issue where we have to, you know, sort of act upon our everyday habits. we have changed the thenarrative a little bit. i always feel that if we were to turn around and call it flying fists of death or something, and people would sit up and go, oh, my god, this is sounding horrible. and change is good, and warming. who doesn't want a little warming? we have made the narrative sound a little bit too comfortable, and we are also getting green fatigue
