Most recently, O'Brien produced a documentary examining the Bush Administration track record dealing with the environment titled “Broken Government: Scorched Earth.” The program offered viewers proof the federal government has abandoned commitments to enforce the Endangered Species and Superfund Acts while stifling scientists who do not “toe the line.”
O'Brien was the first CNN correspondent to produce a documentary on global warming, earning awards from the Society of Environmental Journalists and Overseas Press Club for “Melting Point.” The project took him from the inundated islands of Tuvalu in the South Pacific to Kivalina in Northwest Alaska.
O'Brien anchored CNN's DuPont and Peabody Award-winning coverage of the landfall of Hurricane Katrina. He followed up with a series of reports probing the failures of the federal government to address the environmental consequences of extensive flood control projects in the Mississippi Delta.
An experienced instrument-rated pilot and aircraft owner, O’Brien is also the network's space and aviation correspondent. He led CNN's coverage of the loss of the space shuttle Columbia in February of 2003—reporting live for 16 consecutive hours—and has garnered numerous awards for outstanding space coverage over the years.
