April 22 marked the 51st anniversary of Earth Day. It also kicked off a two-day virtual climate summit hosted by President Joe Biden, in which 40 world leaders discussed plans to take action on climate change. The combination of the climate summit and the general Earth Day commemoration led to substantial climate and environmental-related coverage on major broadcast and cable TV networks.
Corporate broadcast TV morning and nightly news shows on ABC, CBS, and NBC aired a combined 26 climate and environmental segments across 82 minutes on Earth Day. Original programming on CNN and MSNBC aired a combined 38 segments across 186 minutes just over three hours. (The other major cable network, Fox, spent all of Earth Day attacking actions taken to address climate change.)

CBS This Morning on Thursday used Earth Day as an excuse to promote fear, touting “climate anxiety” among teens. The reporters also, yet again, hyped alarmist Greta Thunberg and her campaign to enact draconian, expensive global warming laws.
Talking to young environmentalist Georgia Wright, who has a podcast, co-host Anthony Mason pushed the idea that young people should be emotionally unstable over climate: “
Georgia, you discuss climate anxiety in the podcast. We heard Julianna mention feeling her chest tighten when she talks about this. What do you mean exactly climate anxiety?”
Before that, reporter Adriana Diaz talked to Thunberg, promoting her expensive agenda: “The message is that while individual actions are important, sweeping change needs to come from governments and corporations. At every opportunity, the 18-year-old pushes leaders to follow the science, pointing to the pandemic as a model for swift action.”
The co-hosts of the "Inherited" podcast join "CBS This Morning" to discuss their mission to share stories of the youth climate movement. Georgia Wright and Julianna Bradley explain why young people are so energized to tackle this issue and the mental toll the climate crisis has on young people.
