Eli, having grown up in a neighborhood where certain words were used as nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverb as well as conjunctions and pronouns, often in a single sentence, was not quite as observant about Louis Black's rant on Republican not climate scientists.
The bunny was quite surprised by the response.
So to show you what Eli hears, here is Louis Black on climate change again (maybe the last couple of minutes tomorrow). There is a rhythm to it.
Republicans who aren't scientists when it comes to climate
I love the fact that they say that “I am not a scientist”
Well, I'm not a doctor.
That's why we have scientists
As soon as you say that "I am not a scientist, but . ."
That's why we have them
You don't have to do it
We don't expect you to do it
What I do expect leadership to do is to listen to the scientists
I expect that because they, like us, went through an education process
And then we got to chemistry, like I did
And I said I can't do this
I burned my hand on a Bunsen burner
Titrate? What's titrate?
They're scientists.
I hear this time and again and I am tired of it
It's an argument that comes up time and time again
96% of the world's scientists agree there is climate change
That, whether you like it or not
It's a fact
I have spent way to much time researching this
It is exhausting as a comedian when I have to look this stuff up
Forty times to get forty things
And then people tell me that it is not true
And you tell me your 4% is right
Look it's scientists, not a coven of witches
They are not back there double double toil and trouble
Newt of eye, you fool
You know what they know how to do
They know how to do the metric system
Something you could learn.
There is climate change
I don't argue it anymore
I don't discuss it anymore
When I watch the chunk of one of the poles just drop off and float away
And didn't even say goodbye
Greenland is down by 20%
Greenland icy Greenland cold Greenland
Even if they are wrong
Even if they are wrong.
One of the things we might want to do as a people is to treat the planet
In a fashion that we care for it
I don't know about these people
I know that I read the Bible
And the Bible told me
And even though I might not believe in a lot of it
One of the common sense things is that
This is a garden that we were given to care take
But if you need a profit
If you need to get that profit
Just barrel through
Don't worry about your children
Or your children's children
Worry about how much money they are going to have
Because they are going to need that money to pay for the damage
That we're doing now
The effects of human induced climate change are being felt in every corner of the United States
With water growing scarcer in dry regions
Torrential rains increasing in wet regions
Heat waves becoming more common and more severe
Wild fires growing worse
And forests, forests dying under the assault of heat loving insects
That's the one that worries me
I do not know that insects experienced the emotion of love
How scary is that
And not even for another insect
For heat
