To increase awareness and the availability of environmental information, the Media Watch on Climate Change provides a continuous update of media coverage on climate change and related issues. It aggregates and visualizes content from 150 news media sites.

More detailed description : an online portal that that aggregates, filters & visualizes environmentally related web content from 150 Anglo-American news media sites. the geo-tagged knowledge base can be explored by location via a geographical map, or by topic via a 2D semantic map or 3D "knowledge planet" (as an add-on layer in NASA World Wind).the semantic map shows a virtual landscape with peaks that indicate clusters of documents about a popular topic, & valleys that represent sparsely populated parts of the information space.

Interesting site for those who study some sub-controversy of the climate change debate. Useless for the others.
