===Climate change===
AIM rejects the [[scientific consensus on climate change]].<ref name=":1" /> In 2008, AIM wrote, "the theory of man-made global warming is designed to increase government control over our economy and our lives through higher taxes and energy rationing."<ref name=":1" />

In November 2005, AIM columnist [[Cliff Kincaid]] criticized [[Fox News]] for broadcasting a program ''The Heat is On'', which reported that [[global warming]] represents a serious problem (the program was broadcast with a disclaimer). Kincaid argued the piece was one-sided and stated that this "scandal" amounted to a "hostile takeover of Fox News."<ref>Cliff Kincaid, [http://www.aim.org/aim_column/4184_0_3_0_C "Hostile Takeover of Fox News"] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051227014515/http://www.aim.org/aim_column/4184_0_3_0_C |date=December 27, 2005 }}, November 21, 2005</ref> In 2006, Kincaid criticized Fox for "tilting to the left" on the issue of climate change.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/fox-news-drifting-left/9366/|title=Fox News Drifting Left?|website=Adweek|date=January 25, 2006 |access-date=June 7, 2019}}</ref>

AIM criticized the media for not covering a 1995 study on climate change, which it argued cast doubt on climate change. One of the authors of the study responded to AIM, "The paper... focused on a discrepancy between observations and theoretical climate model predictions—the sort of thing that [[climate change denier]]s love to take out of context and hype. The conservative organization Accuracy in Media took note of the study, citing lack of media coverage of it as some sort of evidence of media bias in coverage of climate change—something that I, to this day, find puzzling as the paper actually dealt with a relatively obscure technical detail of climate models and hardly challenged the mainstream view that human activity was leading to the warming of the globe."<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://cup.columbia.edu/book/the-hockey-stick-and-the-climate-wars/9780231152549|title=The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars: Dispatches from the Front Lines|last=Nye|first=Michael E.
