Katharine Hayhoe, a co-author of the recent National Climate Assessment that contains some dire warnings President Trump isn’t taking at 100 percent face value (much to the chagrin of liberals and others), is not happy with a couple of cable nets that usually can be counted on to help forward the alarmist agenda favored by the Left. She explained in this thread:
Let me share a sad reality. @AC360 asked if I could join them tonight or talk #NationalClimateAssessment. I just arrived at @TED, and I really need to practice my talk, I replied. Please! they said, we will send a car! Ok, I said. It’s important. I will do it. (story continues..)

“We want to talk to you about the threat from burning fossil fuels so we’re sending a car” is peak CNN! We kid… it’s not even close to CNN’s peak.
Hayhoe continued:
I get my hair and make up done, we drive across the city, I do the interview, Anderson is lovely, the whole thing takes three hours …. and they don’t air the interview. Instead, they give more airtime to Santorum, so he can to continue to spread disinformation.

I don’t get paid for any of this – but I think he does, doesn’t he? And this is not the first time this has happened. Chris Hayes’ program canceled three times, once when I was literally in a chair with that earpiece in my ear. When @MSNBC called me again this week, I said…

… I would be delighted to talk to you, but in order to be a wise steward of my time, I need a guarantee the interview will air, barring a major disaster, an assassination, or the end of the world. They did not reply.

Please don’t get me wrong – I’m not whining or complaining. I am enormously grateful for any and all media who wants to talk climate, and equally grateful for the opportunity to do so. I talk to high school newspapers, Christian podcasts, and even sports blogs!

But time is the most precious resource we have, and there is not enough to go around – so when we choose how to spend our time, it just makes sense to be sure it will be used profitably and not squandered.
So twitverse, tell me: what wd YOU do with such requests in the future?

Also, apologies to @ted. He is not @TEDTalks. I imagine this must happen a lot, but I am sorry 😉

MSNBC’s Chris Hayes not long ago admitted that they tend to avoid the topic because it makes people reach for the channel changer.
