Earth Day coverage dominated the CBS Evening News on April 22, as one might expect. A glowing report on the March for Science opened the show, and there were three other stories about climate change. What distinguished tonight’s CBS Evening News from every other edition ever aired was the inclusion of a perspective from “climate realists.” The climate realist featured in the video above was Heartland Institute President Joseph Bast. And yes. Joe does actually type that fast. He wasn’t faking it for the B-roll.

The perspective of the journalist from Chicago’s CBS affiliate, Dean Reynolds, is that of an alarmist — and one not all that informed on the science of climate change. At the bottom of this post is Joe Bast’s raw, hour-long interview with Dean Reynolds of CBS News, conducted on April 3, 2017. I apologize for the weird camera angle, but that’s where CBS set it up. You can judge for yourself how fair the report was. The interview was pretty revealing.

Heartland Institute President Joseph Bast is interviewed by Dean Reynolds of the CBS Evening News about Heartland's programs on climate change on April 3, 2017. (Apologies for the angle, but that's where CBS set up the shot, partially blocked from our in-room live-stream camera.)
