And so the picture was very bleak.

And the only way to change this was, again, off of fossil fuels as fast as possible and to renewable energy or else the planet would be unlivable.

That was the basics.

So I sort of secretly started doing my re-education all the way back in 2020.

And I read Michael Schellenberger's book, Apocalypse Never.

And he debunked a lot of stuff.

And then I read Steve Koonin's book, Unsettled.

And Steve Koonin was a Department of Energy appointee by President Obama.

So I really liked that because he was not like an other to me.

And both of those books sort of broke my association with some of these biggest narratives, essentially being like, this is not catastrophic.

Steve Koonin, I think,

is the best to quote because his book, Unsettled, went into basically saying, hey, this science is unsettled, right?

We're all being told that it's settled fact.

Anyone who questions it is a climate change denier and you're ostracized.

But he was like, hey, I'm telling you, it's really not.

And one of the things that my jaw was on the floor was that extreme weather, hurricanes, droughts, flooding have not gotten worse because of climate change.

And when I read that, I was like, you're kidding me.

Again, because every time there's an extreme weather event, the news will say,

It's because of climate change.

It's made worse because of climate change.
