The climate crisis is man made. It's not just man made, it's white man.

Is this climate change on display for us right now? Is there other causes behind this?

Here's CNN's Chief Climate Alarmist here to tell us that climate alarmism doesn't actually exist. Just into cnn, a dire warning about the state of the planet. A new UN report warns that the climate time bomb is ticking and the world is running out of time to avoid catastrophe. So that assessment comes from the world's most authoritative body on climate change, which says the Earth is going to pass this critical warning threshold now much earlier than expected.

I mean, we're staring it down. They're talking about the early2030s.

CNN Chief Climate correspondent Bill Weir is here. So please tell me we can stop this, Bill.

Oh, I'd love to tell you that we have to believe that, and we can. And that's really the takeaway is that the tools are in our hands. There are no miracles needed when it comes to technology. It's all right here. It's all about political will. But let me explain the context here. Every year thousands of peer reviewed papers around the world look at the ice or the clouds or the penguins or every little aspect of our changing planet. The IPCC, these are scientists from 195 countries have to synthesize all that information. Their governments have to approve the language and then they put this report together and give it to lawmakers in time for this next cop that's coming up in the United Arab Emirates. And it is the most unequivocal. There's no such thing as climate alarmism anymore. The time bomb is ticking. But we have the guide on how to defuse the bomb right in our hands right here.

The time bomb. We've been hearing about this ticking time bomb for a long time. But most, and you imagine maybe the old fashioned cartoon time bomb with the long wick that's going down and it's going to explode. Or maybe you imagine the actual digital timer on it. We have to find a way to diffuse it. You have to cut the old 90s action flick. You gotta, someone's gotta cut the red wire and the blue wire. But they keep extending the time. That's the interesting thing, they keep extending. It's about to go off. It's always just about to go off and then we're all gonna be dead. I will say, you know, I think if you're cnn, cnn, they've got the chief climate reporter and he says climate alarmism doesn't exist because no matter what you say about the climate, whatever alarming statements you make, it's true. And so it's not alarmism. That's the point that he's trying to make. We really are on the verge of an apocalypse. Nothing alarmist about it, he claims. Well, I think if that's the case, really the most powerful statement and the most worthwhile thing that CNN could do is to just shut down entirely. You think about all the carbon emissions, think about all the energy that is used just to keep a cable news channel on the air 24 7. Think about the carbon footprint. And if we're on the verge of planetary destruction because of this, then I think you have no choice morally but to shut down operations entirely. And that would be a statement to the rest of the world. I mean that if you want to say something that's meaningful, that would do it. You say we're going to shut down completely because we can no longer contribute to the coming apocalypse. We are going to. I want to hear from Don Lemon and all the rest. We're shutting down. We're going to go live in the woods, in caves, and we're going to, we're going to, we're going to subsist on, on berries and locusts like, like John the Baptist in the wilderness. And that's how we're going to live our lives because we cannot contribute anymore to the coming planetary extinction level event. That would be a statement, or maybe it really wouldn't be a statement at all because nobody would notice even if they did that. This is CNN that we're talking about. Imagine you're a climate expert working for a major news network when one day out of nowhere, Hillary Clinton announces that MAGA Republicans are causing the world to get hotter simply by voting the wrong way and by cooking too many cheeseburgers. I guess she says these MAGA Republicans are lighting the planet on fire. They're causing the warmest summer in the history of the world, going back billions of years, even before we had thermometers to measure this kind of thing. That's how dangerous these MAGA Republicans are. But last week we went into great detail about how Hillary Clinton sounded like a Mesoamerican shaman when she made all those claims. But if you're a climate expert in the mainstream media, you can't laugh at what she said as we did. You can't just move on. Instead, you have to run cover for Hillary Clinton because she's effectively your boss. You revere her. Therefore you have to go out on television and dutifully assert with maximum confidence that, yes, Hillary is right, we are breaking temperature records right now. And that's happening specifically because of man made climate change that's intensified in recent years. That's the party line. And indeed, like lemmings, all the big networks came out and said exactly that one by one. Here's ABC News, for example, giving Hillary some much needed backup. Watch.
