China's state-run media has played down fresh warnings on climate change issued by a UN scientific panel, with centrally-controlled television news ignoring the issue altogether.
China Central Television in its Friday night and Saturday news broadcasts failed to mention the report by the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) that called for international action to slow down global warming.
The Communist Party's leading People's Daily ran a three paragraph factual on the report at the bottom of page three in its Saturday edition.
Other state-run papers ran Xinhua news agency articles on the climate report on inside pages, while only the Beijing News carried a story on the negative effects that climate change could bring to China, including extended drought in the north and worse flooding in the south.
No Chinese language report was seen on China's growing impact on global warming due to its world-leading coal use and its booming automobile industry.Surprise, surprise.
