As scientists make ever-more urgent calls to curb our emissions of greenhouse gasses, mentions of global warming in the media are down. What's going on? Are people burned out hearing about something that's going to burn them up? WTF?

Gas is cheap again! It's a lot easier to bad-mouth green house gases, and other contributors to global warming, when we're pissed off that they are so expensive.
Agreed, however there is more to this than that observation. Take a look at the graph: media coverage started tanking in mid-2006 just as gas prices started skyrocketing. Something else is going on here.
