Summary:Climate change has become a symbol of global risk society. It is one of the most discussed and agreed by the scientific community, however, between citizens, climate change does not achieve the same degree of consensus. The objects of study are the references to climate change in the news on Spanish television in "quiet times". The objective is to record information when there is no disaster or an international summit on climate change related.

We conclude that treatment key information on climate change in "quiet times" are maintained as if at that time there were a catastrophe or an international summit.
