The Europeans have discovered that the real threat to human civilization is not
global warming.
It never was global warming.
The real threat to people is global cooling,
otherwise known as winter.
>> That was Tucker Carlson with his patronizing tone,
speaking to his audience as if they're full of morons [LAUGH] like it's full
of idiots who can't understand him.
But nonetheless, that's him pretending as if no,
we should actually be concerned about global cooling.
Which is why the Mendenhall Glacier has been melting,
which is why the sea level has been rising because of the ice caps melting.
Now, let's watch the rest of his insane theory, and then we'll discuss.
>> Far more people freeze to death every year than die of heat.
In 2019, for example, four times as many people died of cold as of heat.
That's according to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.
So when temperatures in Europe begin to drop a few months from now,
this is a huge problem and that will be obvious to everyone.
It's not global warming, it's global cooling.
That's what's gonna kill your grandmother.
And when everyone understands that perfectly well,
a lot of things are gonna happen.
The status quo will crumble, factories will close,
unemployment will rise, disposable income will disappear.
>> So big brain Tucker Carlson doing the age-old trick of
intentionally conflating temperature with climate.
He's referring to temperature-related deaths,
which is different from climate change-related deaths.
Which of course can be caused by things like extreme weather conditions,
natural disasters that are exacerbated as a result of climate change,
all of that food insecurity, which will only increase in coming years.
I mean, climate change isn't coming.
Climate change is here.
We see it all the time.
We see it every day.
To the point, by the way where even Republican voters
are acknowledging that it is in fact very real.
What's amazing about Tucker Carlson is he's stuck in the early 2000s when
Republicans were still in denial about the existence of climate change.
But here we are, Tucker Carlson, I mean,
Bush wanted no child left behind, but what happened to Tucker?
>> Yeah, so, look, this is always trick in the book, and
all his viewers gonna fall forward.
Of course, [INAUDIBLE] the minute winter arrives, you are like, my God,
Tucker was right, Winter did come.
Yes, there's still the four seasons, just because there's climate change happening,
doesn't mean that winter ends all of a sudden.
And by the way, yes, more people die in the winter than they do in the summer,
it's always been the case.
But he makes it sound like it's because of global cooling.
So wait, Tucker, should we do something about your so called global cooling?
Do you have any policy proposals?
Should we pass any laws?
Should we regulate industry to prevent global cooling?
Nope.
It's just it's so transparent, he has no proposals.
He's making it up.
He's just basically saying winter is gonna come.
And a lot of his audience has already seen Game of Thrones.
So they know that winter is in fact coming.
And so, and then he does his little bane trick at the end where he's
like disposable income will get down,
unemployment will go up man if that Green Industries will be laid to waste.
And then they're like my God, it's all because of global cooling.
No, manufacturing is going down for 1000 different reasons,
having nothing to do with global warming or global cooling, okay?
So but it's so easy to trick right-wingers.
So they will not listen to 99% of the world's scientists,
but they will listen to that knucklehead heir to
the Swanson fortune, who's obviously tricking them.
>> But, okay, so one should ask why is the right-wing not the pundits or
the politicians specifically right-wing voters?
Why are they predisposed to these types of arguments denying climate change?
It's because they do have an interest in denying it.
Because if they accept it, then in their minds and
I can understand why they think this.
They would have to just completely change their lifestyles because all that's been
communicated to them by liberals is that we need to do something
about climate change.
We're not gonna do anything about the fossil fuel companies,
we want you to change your behavior, we want you to use the plastic bag, we want
you to stop using the plastic bags, use the paper straws, take shorter showers.
You get what I'm saying, Jake?
Stop eating meat.
Like everything is about the individual,
it is the individual's responsibility and when you're living under the conditions
that most Americans are living under today, that is not a popular message.
So while I certainly think Republicans are like Tucker Carlson.
Republican politicians are terrible because what they want to do is protect
corporate interests and fossil fuel companies.
I think there's also a problem with the mainstream Democratic Party and
the majority of their proposals because what they propose again,
mostly focuses on individuals changing their behavior and
that can be incredibly frustrating for people.
>> Yeah, well, why do we have plastic straws which are Poulet approximately 2%.
I mean everybody hates paper straws, right?
The reason we have paper straws is because Democrats take tons of money from
fossil-fuel companies.
So they don't want to do things that would help much more like by an order of
magnitude, it would help 1000, 10,000,
100,000 times more than paper straws, right?
But paper straws, that's just puts the burden on you.
And then Tucker Carlson's like, thank you for
the gift because people don't like paper straws, right?
And on top of that will pretend that you guys are gonna ban planes and hamburgers,
which isn't true.
We'll just pretend and they all believe it, right?
But the fact that he's bothering to talk about any climate change shows
you that Tucker thinks they're losing.
There's too many severe weather events and
people are going wait, there is something wrong here.
And so that's why Tucker's switching from.
There's nothing wrong to know its global cooling.
Don't worry.
All of the world scientists are still lying.
Do not ever trust anyone with facts or information,
only turn to Fox News where we'll give you corporate propaganda, right?
But look at the fact that he had to change his lie and
admit that there are severe weather events.
And one more thing about that Anna, there for Republican voters,
which is always different Republican politicians and Republican media.
The Republican voters, I get super frustrate at 1000 things,
as you all know, right?
And I'm by far the toughest person in all of media on Republican voters.
But in this case, a lot of the younger Republican voters,
because they're not getting their information from Fox News,
they're getting it from online are able to look up these things and
they're starting to lose their younger voters big time on climate change.
Younger Republican voters are going no climate change is real.
All the scientists are not making it up.
And plus, I can see it with my eyes and I could look it up.
There's no question the thing the planet is getting warmer and it's a recipe for
disaster.
That's why Tucker scrambling to come up with new idiotic talking points.
>> Absolutely.
All right, well, let's move on to something a little different.
This is I don't think it's an important story, but I do think it's a fun,
salacious one, so let's get into it.
