When I was at the COP21 climate change conference in Paris, France in early December, 2015, I received many requests for radio and TV interviews via phone, emails on various different accounts, and social media. When an email came out of the blue with an interview request by CCTV I accepted, having not heard of them before. I suggested that we chat over Skype, or that they call me directly. Instead, they wanted to meet in person and do a direct interview, suggesting that it would be best in early January. I accepted, of course and after a quick search I discovered that China Central Television (CCTV), according to Wikipedia:
“China Central Television is China’s largest and most powerful national television station. By the 1980s, two-thirds of people in China had access to television, while today, over 3,000 channels are available in the country.”
I was pleasantly flabbergasted. In early January a film crew visited me in Ottawa, and I was interviewed for almost an hour. Great questions about climate change, our strange weather extremes, and many other topics. Below is the first few minutes of footage put on air from our interview. I wonder how many of the 1.2 billion people in China were watching? Lots, I hope…
Here is the link they provided me with, to my airtime segment!
I saved the best for last, in out tripartite series in the last week, with James Hansen, Climate YODA James Hansen Gold Q&A in Paris, here.
