Abstract
Climate change (CC) is probably the strongest politically charged scientific matter of this century and the aim of this research is to detail some guidelines about how is the information regarding to this topic when it comes from a politician source and to determine, among other matters, which parties do the politicians who appear as sources belong. The research is carried out analyzing all online edition news published of two of the main spanish newspapers, ‘El País’ and ‘ABC’, during 2017. A statistical methodology has been used in order to identify significant differences between both newspapers and variables of interest, using contingency tables and Chi-square test. The conclusions show that most of the politicians who appear as information sources in information about CC are foreigners and not spanish, as well as politicians are rarely involved in pedagogy related about climatic issues.
