This rant about climate change from Joe Bastardi is so unbelievably unhinged. Off the charts bonkers. I've rewatched it three times because I'm kind of convinced it's a fever dream?? pic.twitter.com/L4tSBuYCBf
Occasionally someone will post a Joe Bastardi weather comment (tweet) on the YCC “Eye on the Storm” blog.
My immediate reaction is to post a reply along the lines of “so, when’s that global cooling coming?” I think some of the newbs might not know who Joe Bastardi is, so I sorta poison the well (or point out the poison in his well) whenever I encounter a supporter.
From that 2011 clip:
Why his Imminent Cooling would be worse than Global Warming:
“We grow food when it’s warm, and it’s easier to take clothes off and cool things down when it’s warm that it does to heat things up; it takes more energy.”
Does anybody still pay this idiot for his weather forecasting? He has been consistently wrong for over a decade. Who do you trust more – several thousands of climate researchers, UN, every world govt., or Joe Bastardi and Chritopher Monchkton who get paid money to tell climate deniers what they want to hear?
Said it before here a few times, but the conservative version of learning from one’s mistakes is to double down.

What the bleep was Bastardi responding to? That clip starts in the middle of the discussion, Bastardi is ranting about some people or other.
Agreed that it is unhinged.
