It's amazing how people like Behar make claims like this with literally
zero evidence to back it up and everyone just nods along. No one says,
"Wait a minute, how do you know the rain at Blackrock was caused by
'climate change'? It's not like it has never rained there before. It
has. The lake bed has flooded many times in the past, so how do you know
this time was due to 'climate change'? Where's your evidence?

Again, this has happened many times in the past. Where's your evidence
that this time was due to 'climate change'?

So how did you get to work today at THE VIEW, Joy? I'll bet six months
of my pension, your fat ass wasn't on a bicycle. I'm fairly certain you
were chauffeured from your home in a big black SUV. I've actually
watched them shut down the street outside ABC studios in NYC for you and
your fellow hosts as you arrive and depart.
So fossil fuel usage is bad, a menace to the planet, an existential
threat to all humanity, but that's not serious enough for Joy to forgo
the SUV and ride a bike or take the train or the bus. Because you're big
and important and those kinds of sacrifices are only for us mere proles.
*We're* the ones who are supposed to bike to work in 90-degree heat and
freezing cold. *We're* the ones who are supposed to give up our cars and
jam onto subway trains with drug-addicted vagrants and criminals.
But not you. Never you. You're one of the specials.

Again, no.
This is just blatant lying. It's well-established that the Maui fires
were caused by poor electric utility maintenance in conjunction with the
replacement of Maui's native flora with non-native grasses. Not 'climate
change'.
As for Idalia, unless the new propaganda is that, even though the
Caribbean has been subject to hurricanes for thousands of years, now
*any* hurricane that occurs is because of 'climate change', there's no
evidence whatsoever that 'climate change' had anything to do with Idalia.

Again, Joy, why don't you shut your trap and lead by example? You want
me to give up fossil fuels? Well, you first.
What you don't get to do is demand that I radically alter and downgrade
*my* quality of life while you go on living like a queen pig in her
palace of shit.

Yep, if only we paid more taxes and rode our bikes to work, there would
be no hurricanes in Florida or wildfires in California.
