If you don't take an active interest in stuff like "science" and "evidence", you'll be doomed to keep returning to the idea that you can make good things happen by just yelling at people.

He knows exactly what he's doing, he's just required to twist himself in knots to avoid the elephant in the room.

How do you say

“Shill talking shit”

In a tone more suitable for a general audience

When they have a heat wave they can just legalise gay marriage and then it will rain endlessly! Gays like me have super powers over the climate and the far right know this!

Could it be that insurance is expensive because fraud is high, and fraud is high because the courts are overburdened, and courts are overburdened because politicians are reluctant to increase spending where it's needed?

Ask him how it’s working out in CA and FL as insurance companies just pull out of markets left and right.

Every day, without relent, journos should be asking these f*ckers what their plan is for adaptation, how they plan to fund it, and wouldn't the cost be lower if we stopped making the problem worse?

I, for one, am confident in my yelling-based economic policy.
