According to MSNBC anchor Chris Hayes, global warming apparently trumps terror concerns such as ISIS. While much of the country is covered with snow and facing brutal cold, Hayes appeared on the February 17 edition of Last Call to warn: “The single most important thing we face globally is the fact that we are heating the planet to a level that is never before been tried, while also trying to have human civilization.”

Talking to host Carson Daly on the program that airs at 1:30 in the morning, Hayes predicted, “100 years from now, people will look back and be like, 'How did they talk about anything else, ever?' Like, didn’t they understand they were sitting tied to train tracks with a train coming?”

This is the same man who, on October 19, 2012, compared the battle over climate change to the fight against slavery in America. (Over 600,000 people died in the Civil War.)

In a rapid fire segment, Hayes conceded this interesting possibility “Ted Cruz as president of the United States is more likely than I'm comfortable with.”

Regarding Obama's remaining time in office, the journalist predicted, "Economic improvement of the kind we've seen over the last six months particularly, extended two more years, you will see Barack Obama hit 60 percent."

On the subject of ratings, the MSNBC host insisted:

CHRIS HAYES: We don't have the luxury in our business of approaching journalism and the news in the way that certain legacy media institutions can. Which is, this is the day's news in the paper of record, right? We're more like a tabloid newspaper. We've got to put something on the cover that you're going to pick up and buy. Because we are, particularly at 8:00pm., like we're up against The Voice, okay? And The Voice is super entertaining. So, the question is, you're going to sit down and it's like, "I'm going to watch the news with Chris Hayes." We have to work very hard to bring those eyeballs to us.

Despite Hayes’s “hard work,” his program, All In, is consistently rated very low, usually behind Fox News and CNN.
