(excerpt)

You don’t usually mention issues like climate change on the show, did you feel that you had to address it this time around? JC: Well, [Hammond and May] were dragging along the bottom [of the river], in the mud. We can’t say everything is perfectly all right because it obviously isn’t, but our job is not to run around, have school strikes, sail to America on a carbon-fibre yacht that cost £15 million, or shout at people which achieves absolutely f**k all. Our job is to simply say, there it is and move on. We’re just entertainers.

Was excited to watch this on Prime, but shut it off 10 minutes in, when Clarkson mentioned climate change for the 4th or 5th time.

He's just another good for thee but not for me liberal.

You probably saw all the references, because the show was mostly just the three blokes doing what they do always.
I was bothered by the references, too, especially from Clarkson, but he didn’t beat us over the head with it and the show as a whole was quite enjoyable, and I laughed out loud more than once.
Naturally, your mileage may vary.

I love those “Life Below Zero” shows. Especially in the summer. I have to say I wonder if the people who produce this stuff ever even watch their own reruns. The first few seasons it was all “unusually cold winter...global warming...proof right here.” The last few seasons have been chock full of “excessively warm winter...global warming...proof right there.” Occasionally they show two of these back to back. It’s hilarious.

It’s like being around your high school buddies, only they are driving super cars.

How about wearing the dictator/communist che t-shirt? That was an absolute insult. I heard him mention climate change but then said the chinese were damming up the rivers and that was the reason there was no water.
He has definitely dropped quite a few notches for me. If he keeps it up I’ll turn it off.

Clarkson’s a moron. Bet he bugs out when sharia law takes full control.

Smart move for Jeremy to choose that shallow draft high speed PBR boat. I drove one for 11 months in the RVN, just seeing one brings back lots of memories.

smart

#1 He did so probably at Amazon insistence who pays for the show.
BTW he also mentioned that China had dammed the river so it was China not releasing water downstream that is the real issue.

Well. Man-caused climate change is real because his boat was hitting mud in a river.

I guess he is going to have to ask those guys poling barges along the Mississippi River in 1872 who were scraping the bottom what they planned to do about man-caused climate change.

I stopped recording “Life Below Zero” once they began repeating the “climate change” idiocy.
