Ms Deirdre McCarthy:

The prominence of a story and the decision as to whether to run a new story or not on the 6 o'clock news, on the news app or whichever platform form the basis of the decisions made every day by the editors in the newsroom. There are several factors when it comes to determining what a news story is but, as stated earlier, in news and current affairs, we have prioritised the coverage of climate change.

It is not just George Lee's beat. It is across many desks and platforms that there is prominence or consideration given every single day to whether there is a climate change aspect or question to the story.
