Gooch isn’t the only one engaging in hyperbole. There’s plenty enough to go around. For instance, the host asks: “isn’t it a moral imperative… to err on the side of planetary surival?” Whew! Now we’re talking about the very survival of mother Earth. First time I’ve heard things would get that bad.

He also references cyclones as a result of global warming, yet the first one recorded in history, according to a quick google check, happened in China more than a millenia ago.

Gooch should have invited Bjorn Lomborg to speak instead of the flat worlders. Lomborg, an environmentalist would have said:

1. Climate change is real and it’s manmade.
2. To effectively roll it back would cost trillions upon trillions of dollars every year for decades.
3. There are better, more humane ways to spend that money that trying to stop climate change.
That would be a guest worth hearing.
