‘I’m actually quite happy that we’ve been able to do this’

Literally as soon as the Paris climate accord was announced, members of the press began celebrating, as was seen in the widely circulated cell phone footage of the COP21 media room. But the party didn't stop there. On the airwaves of most TV news networks, anchors and reports kept the celebration going. 

"Pretty darn exciting!" acclaimed MSNBC anchor Alex Witt.

"An incredible accomplishment!" raved Mika Brzezinski. 

"A tremendous victory for the planet," exclaimed Chris Hayes. 

"Almost hard to overstate the ... significance," exalted CNN's John Sutter. 

"Really a NASA moonshot moment," cheered MSNBC's Tony Dokoupil.
