Listen to this clip of John Stossel calling RFK Jr. an imbecile.

“But, you know, I guess you can’t deny that the globe has warmed. Climate changes. It’s warmed a little. The issue is, is it a bad thing? It may be a good thing.”
Who the fuck is the imbecile?
“The most respected scientific bodies have stated unequivocally that global warming is occurring, and people are causing it by burning fossil fuels (like coal, oil and natural gas) and cutting down forests. The U.S. National Academy of Sciences, which in 2005 the White House called ‘the gold standard of objective scientific assessment,’ issued a joint statement with 10 other National Academies of Science saying ‘the scientific understanding of climate change is now sufficiently clear to justify nations taking prompt action. It is vital that all nations identify cost-effective steps that they can take now, to contribute to substantial and long-term reduction in net global greenhouse gas emissions.’The only debate in the science community about global warming is about how much and how fast warming will continue as a result of heat-trapping emissions. Scientists have given a clear warning about global warming, and we have more than enough facts — about causes and fixes — to implement solutions right now.” - Environmental Defense

The only debate in the science community about global warming is about how much and how fast warming will continue as a result of heat-trapping emissions.
Isn’t that exactly what Stossel was saying?
No. He’s saying it could be a GOOD THING. To make that kind of patently untrue statement and then turn around and call RFK Jr an imbecile is ironic.
