Hostin, 55, began by asserting that the total solar eclipse, the 4.8-magnitude earthquake that rocked New York City last week, and the imminent arrival of trillions of red-eyed insects are possible signs of climate change.
'We have a solar eclipse. We have the earthquake,' Hostin said. 'All those factors together might lead one to believe that either climate change exists or something significant is happening.'
Co-host Joy Behar countered her claims, saying: 'Except earthquakes are not at the mercy of climate change. It's underground. It can't.'
The discussion started with Alyssa Farah Griffin, The View cohost and former White House communications director, joking about 'apocalypse' theories surrounding the rare phenomenon.
'So, what's kind of crazy is with the earthquake on Friday and then the eclipse today, people are having all sorts of conspiracies about the end of the world.
'And then I read online that the earthquake epicenter was actually at Bedminster in New Jersey. Fun fact - it originated with Trump.'
Hostin chimed in but had trouble pronouncing 'cicadas', with co-host Whoopi Goldberg attempting to correct her.
'I learned that the cicadas are coming,' Hostin said, pronouncing the word as 'sick-ah-duhs,' and Goldberg repeated, 'Cicadas,' with the pronunciation of 'sick-cay-duhs.'
'It's the first time in like a hundred years,' Hostin continued, attempting to prove her point as Goldberg interrupted.
'No, no, no. There are two different kinds of cicadas. It happens every 17 years,' Goldberg said firmly.
Two different broods of cicada will emerge across more than a dozen states this year, mating and laying millions more eggs.
The insects - known for the screaming noise they make - hibernate in either 13- or 17-year cycles, but a group from each will surface together for the first time since the 19th century

She is a beyotch. That’s all anyone needs to know.
Nah...she’s doing her job as a provocateur of raising interest and ratings for the show.
The whole show is mindless drivel. A nationwide exhibition of dopey, uninformed “backyard fence” chatter.
Sunny eclipsed. Bad View.
That’s the way the majority of liberals think and get their news from.
She has no idea what is going on. She is just spouting her talking points.
I am kind of surprised he knew what entropy is. Did he actually refer to it by that name?
So earthquakes and eclipses never happened before 1906, so the San Fran Earthquake was the first? That is why it is famous...🤓
You couldn't make this stuff up.
We were planning on sacrificing a virgin, but we couldn’t find one.
1 thing that has surprised me as I’ve aged and gotten wisdom is a preconceived belief I had was wrong.
That rich, influential people are that way because they are highly intelligent.
In our modern times it’s often because they are glib and are on team D.
Period.
True, but it's not due to a lack of brainpower. When a person decides to simply accept what his ideology demands (whether it's rational or not), he stop using his brain.
Intelligence (i.e., thinking) is hard, painful work. And it pisses off people who are trying to control you.
Actually earthquakes are to Global Warming as CO2 is to Climate Change.
I remember reading years ago that some earthquakes might be the result of the earth rebounding from the weight of the glaciers that receded ten thousand or so years ago due to climate change. And I’m not unhappy about the glaciers receding as I’m given to understand that the land I live on would be under two miles of ice if they hadn’t.
WUT?! Uh, as the erf it gets hotterer it is expanding causing more erf quakes. Anyone with half a gabby should recognize that ‘fact’. Way to go soonee.
Even the daily mail is lazy.
Cicadas come in 7 year, 13 year, 17 year, probably 11 year versions.
Noisy little suckers. Last time we had them they would get on my clothes just walking in from parking my car.
Also, there was a volcanic eruption in Iceland.
End times! LOL
Totally stupid. She kept saying, “well that’s what I read” about cicadas.
Either she reads bad sources or doesn’t comprehend .
