NBC's Top Climate Reporter Resigns
In this episode of Heated, climate reporter Chase Kane discusses his resignation from NBC News after eight years, citing systemic barriers that prevent climate stories from receiving prominent coverage. He describes how editorial decisions, time constraints, and a perception that climate news is “depressing” or redundant lead to stories being buried or cut, despite strong public concern about climate change. Co‑host Tracy Wolf and other guests share similar frustrations from CBS and ABC, noting a broader industry trend of declining climate airtime, especially after political shifts, and the need for internal advocates to push stories forward.
