The Media and Climate Change Observatory team at the University of Colorado Boulder found that 2017 "saw media attention to climate change and global warming ebb and flow" with June seeing the maximum global media coverage on both subjects. This rise is "largely attributed to news surrounding United States (US) President Donald J. Trump's withdrawal from the 2015 United Nations (UN) [[Paris agreement|Paris Climate Agreement]], with continuing media attention paid to the emergent US isolation following through the [[43rd G7 summit|G7 summit]] a few weeks later."<ref name="sciencepolicy.colorado.edu">{{cite web|last1=Boykoff|first1=M.|last2=Andrews|first2=K.|last3=Daly|first3=M.|last4=Katzung|first4=J.|last5=Luedecke|first5=G.|last6=Maldonado|first6=C.|last7=Nacu-Schmidt|first7=A.|title=A Review of Media Coverage of Climate Change and Global Warming in 2017|url=http://sciencepolicy.colorado.edu/icecaps/research/media_coverage/summaries/special_issue_2017.html|publisher=Media and Climate Change Observatory, Center for Science and Technology Policy Research, Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, University of Colorado|access-date=2018-03-02|archive-date=2019-08-06|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190806225441/https://sciencepolicy.colorado.edu/icecaps/research/media_coverage/summaries/special_issue_2017.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
Media coverage of climate change during the Trump Administration remained prominent as most news outlets placed heavy emphasis on Trump-related stories rather than climate-related events.<ref name="sciencepolicy.colorado.edu"
In a 2020 article, Mark Kaufman of [[Mashable]] noted that the [[English Wikipedia]]'s article on climate change has "hundreds of credible citations" which "counters the stereotype that publicly-policed, collaboratively-edited Wikipedia pages are inherently unreliable".<ref>{{Cite web|last=Kaufman|first=Mark|date=2020|title=The guardians of Wikipedia's climate change page|url=https://mashable.com/feature/climate-change-wikipedia/|url-status=live|access-date=2021-04-22|website=[[Mashable]]|language=en|archive-date=2021-04-18|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210418190338/https://mashable.com/feature/climate-change-wikipedia/}}</ref>
