Ben Shapiro is no longer a climate change denier

Post by _DoubtingThomas »

Conservative hero Ben Shapiro finally changes his views on climate change and no longer denies it is happening. In the video Ben Shapiro is interviewing Neil deGrasse Tyson.

In 2007 Shapiro mocked climate change "believers" and blamed the sun for the warming.

Here's a pretty good video of a scientist analyzing a 20,000 year old ice core and explaining the human impact on climate:

Shapiro doesn't mean much in the overall conservative scheme of things. If Conservatives are forced to choose between the oil industry and the future, they will choose the oil industry.

I think I've listened to Shapiro for perhaps a total of 3 minutes in my life. That's all it took to determine he's a idiot and waste of time.

But he is probably one of the smartest Republicans in the world.

Which is roughly the equivalent of being one of the best hockey players in Sudan.

He is an idiot’s idea of a smart person, but the intellectual cupboard is bare over there and I don’t know if this is as wrong as it initially seems.
