For quite a few years, the climate issue was temperature.

And you'll have noticed the last 15, 20 years, it's extreme weather.

Right.

And that shows that, you know, it was fake because it's trivial.

I mean, if you looked it up, the average month, there are four or five extreme events someplace in that month that are once in a hundred year events.

So each of them makes for a good video.

And you have four or five a month.

And they each only won this in 100 years.

And people aren't putting it together that once in 100 year events occurring four or five times a month.

But you always have a picture of a flood someplace or a rise or this or that.

And those are used to scare people.

It's got harder and harder to scare people with numbers.

For years, the IPCC, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change of the UN, was honestly saying they could find no evidence that these were related.

The last one, they had to say something because...

The politicians control what's in the IPCC.

But even with that, they were saying no, and that had nothing to do with the public relations.

Said, to hell with it, even if there's no relation, we'll say there is, because that gives us visuals.

Especially if – you would imagine – I think Will said it comes from dumbness.

I think, you know.

It's an interesting thing.
