If Colbert and Strong really want to know why Republicans refuse to play along, it is not because of Bush or Trump or any other Republican or conservative media personality. It is because people like Peter keep demanding drastic measures to prevent apocalyptic doom that never comes to pass.

And:

Your Netflix binge-watching makes climate change worse, say experts

Oh noes!

[VRW Conspirator]

Colbert is insufferable blowhard.

[Hyman Roth]

Are these 2 scientists? Didn’t think so.

Fitting that it airs on Halloween.

The Bush’s are easy and safe targets. You can do and say pretty much anything about them and they will remain silent and go to dinner with the Obama’s and Clinton’s. And then follow it up with a healthy Trump bashing for desert.

I thought climate doom was due to Dick Cheney’s hurricane and weather modification machine.

[nwrep]

I did not watch the clip, but do we know why they went all the way back to GHW Bush for this?

[God luvs America]

meanwhile these two hypocritical clowns take private jets, fly first class, take limos or extra large SUV’s when they must get from point A to point B....

And yet Osama Obama owns beachfront mansions on Martha’s Vineyard *and* in Hawaii.

And a mansion in Kalorama. But we plebs are too materialistic!

Never give up the Con.

[Leaning Right]

George H.W. Bush? I blame “Climate Change” on Rutherford B. Hayes. Mainly because everything is always some Republican’s fault, and I like to be different.

“””I thought climate doom was due to Dick Cheney’s hurricane and weather modification machine.”””

I thought it was caused by hair spray. So I quit using hair spray and it still is happening??? We’re screwed.

[Lizavetta]

I have yet to meet a climate change loon who walks or rides a bike instead of drives, does not fly, or does anything other than uttering feel-good mantras that costs them nothing and feeds their sense of good personness.

[rktman]

Impending climate doom? Hmmmmm. The beaches I went to 70 years ago still look the same. Guess I didn’t get the memo.

[Paladin2]

CO2 is a fertilizer.

Da Erf doesn’t have enough of it in atmospheric circulation.

QED.

[9422WMR]

For climate farce.
Never have so many drank the cool-aide of idiocracy!

[9422WMR]

“ I thought it was caused by hair spray”
I thought it was R12 freon!
I want my BB submachine gun back. You know, the one powered by freon!

[xp38]

they will remain silent

Well certainly the elder one who is the specific one blamed here. :)
