Vivek just wiped the floor with this journalist who tried to pin him down on climate change ๐Ÿคฏ

Hands down one of the best responses to the talking media clowns that I've ever seen ๐Ÿ‘‡

Study that man's reply because it was a masterclass.

She, as a disciple of the climate religion, tried to back him into a corner multiple times.

First, she interrupts him when he notes that the screeds published daily by the apocalyptic climate cult are "religious convictions," wanting to emphasize, in her mind no doubt, that manmade emissions are the primary cause of such change.

Passionate belief in this fact is what helps climate doomsayers sleep at night while they're planning to "depopulate" the earth and plunge billions of people in the developing world back into darkness and chaos by turning off their lights.

Vivek responds by focusing on human prosperity, which might seem weird until you realize that prosperity is the single greatest metric to how people will preserve their environment. Jordan Peterson is fond of noting that studies show an annual income of $5,000 in nations where many survive off a dollar a day leads to significant improvement in care for the environment.

When you are starving, you kill and eat whatever you can get. When you are freezing, you burn wood and dung to stay warm. Investing in people and their flourishing is what leads to cleaner tech, better environmental protection, and new innovation.

Consider: There are still 1 billion people, overwhelmingly women, who spend a huge amount of time washing dishes and clothes each day because they have no electricity or modern, efficient machinery. Those 1 billion women can't go to college or invent the next breakthrough because they are busy using Stone Age processes to keep their families alive.

What if we gave them cheap, abundant energy? What if we made it insanely simple for them to have lights and gas? How would the world change?

You want to solve the climate problem? Make people as rich as possible as fast as possible (access to energy is the #1 way to do this).

(Here's a great video on that topic if you want it) ๐Ÿ‘‡

It's not just the developing world that's at risk of no access to electricity. Have you seen America lately??

Last, the climate-cult reporter used one-off stories about the oceans boiling in Florida and such to try to make her point - in essence, she cherry picked narratives to support an ideology instead of presenting data for a scientific discussion.

And Vivek called her out on it.

I'm not out here stumping for Vivek one way or another at this point, but could you imagine having a man in the Oval Office who can form complete, grammatically-correct arguments (in full sentence form!) on the drop of a dime??

What a thought!
