Climate change, climate change, climate change. Everybody's talking about it. Just turn on the TV and you'll hear stuff like this.

Polar bear invasion? I thought they were chill cartoons drinking Coca-Cola. Climate change is getting apocalyptic, but do you see me taking the bus or going vegan? After this burger, after this burger, I'm done with beef. After this... I know the world's ending, so why is it so hard to do anything about it? What the hell is wrong with me? I blame evolution. Meet author Dan Gardner.

He believes my willingness to sacrifice Antarctica, California, and most of the eastern seaboard for a delicious burger isn't my fault.

So it's a learning disability that we all have from when we were cavemen. Yeah, that's it. Try to explain climate change to me. I'll be the caveman. You try to explain. Well, here's one way.

Dan explained that we evolved to have two systems of thinking. System one is the caveman brain, fast, intuitive, instinctual. And system two is the analytical scientific Albert Einstein part of our brain. Now, who do you think would win in the fight?

That's the reason no matter how many facts we tell people about climate change, if the temperature goes up even two degrees, we won't even have coffee anymore. Funny stuff, Roy. It doesn't get through because we're only talking to the Einstein part of the brain, system two. Ooh, that's milk. Won't be no more milk when the cows come. So how do we explain the world is ending to a caveman?

Oh, I just need to trick my brain into really fearing climate change. All right, I'm gonna put on this shock collar. You tell me something scary about climate change, and give me a shock when you say it.

Oh, bitch! You shocked me for real! What is wrong with you? But after three and a half painful hours, I was scared of climate change. And I would never pee on the rug again. If I was going to save the planet, I had to make my coworkers truly fear the melting ice caps, the heat of wildfires, the unstoppable sea level rise of climate change. And I knew just how to get through to them.

Get used to it. The oceans are rising. This is how hot it's gonna be if you don't stop driving that damn thing and get on a bike. Go, get on a bike. Get on the damn bike. Yeah, yeah. Sea level rising, ice caps melting, super hurricanes are about to- I heard you was going around doing this. Back the up at my office.

Look, I know I'm being over the top, but it's time for everyone to be over the top about climate change. Now, if you'll excuse me. Time to bring these no chill polar bears to life. Sure feels good to save the earth and finally use my polar bear costume for non-sexual reasons.
