In this series we examine how the American media has utterly failed to communicate to US citizens about five essential aspects of climate change that need to be understood to know why climate change is a civilization-challenging problem that requires dramatic, aggressive, and urgent policy action to avoid harsh impacts to hundreds of millions of people around the world. EthicsandClimate.org has developed a video that summarizes these failures: Five Grave Communication Failures of US Media on Climate Change that can be found at: http://blogs.law.widener.edu/climate/2012/10/15/five-gravecommunications- failures-of-the-us-media-on-climate-change/engWith permission of the license/copyright holdercommunications failures, civilization-challenging problem, failures, US Mediaclimate changeCultural ethicsEnvironmental ethicsMedia/communication/information ethicsResources ethicsPreprint
