As far as I can tell, entrenched interests (i.e. people/corporations with lots of money) have been down-playing climate catastrophe for decades. The oil companies have certainly put a lot of effort into burying data about human produced CO2 affecting the climate.
I can understand media outlets trying to get clicks based on emphasising any unusual weather, but that doesn't really apply to the actual science-based reports.
As I see it, rich people stand to benefit from down-playing the climate catastrophe and poor people will reap the main down-sides of not being able to afford to live where they want, harvest crops or keep air conditioners running through the day.
