Resumo: This paper explores the representation of scientific consensus and skepticism on Climate Change (CC), in online Spanish language publications, by means of a content analysis of the results of a search of “quinto informe IPCC” (5th IPCC report) on Google. Results indicate that “legacy media” represent exclusively the scientific consensus, whereas “other online publications” represent the skeptic voices. “Legacy media” tend to differentiate information from opinion, whereas “other online publications” tend to mix information and opinion, situating the IPCC report at the same epistemological level of other scientific and non-scientific sources. This leads to a non-rigorous representation of the current scientific consensus on climate change.
