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..)
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...

#ClimateChange will affect nearly every aspect of life in our communities: altering food production, disrupting our lives & livelihoods with more severe & frequent flooding, threatening our health with high heat & environmental changes.

#MApoli #NationalClimateAssessment
Despite unconscionable #ClimateChange denials from Trump & the GOP, our state & our country must press on with policies to limit the extent of climate change & to increase our communities’ resilience to the changes that we cannot prevent.
