I notice a lot of global wobbling whenever I've had too many drinks. There may be a correlation.
Then get drunk and then stop being drunk to wobble the earth to where you need it to be, this must be done with exact timing
Gigabic or extreme drunkenness to overcompensate, thus bring the entire ball of shite to standstill
american37 What? No way! There is definitely no correlation! Once when I had a few beers, I had no wobbling at all. Another time nothing happened. Everything just got black! Clearly there is no risk or anything involved and global wobbling from alcholic drinks is a myth!
american37
The world would wobble less if Americans lost some weight.
Fuq Gooogle Maybe it'd also wobble less if some people lightened their egos before they went shit talking on the internet.
I honest to god feel sorry for that scientist. I would NOT have stayed even remotely as civil.... Just wow. National Hero imo
+AkilTheAwesome I agree. That guy's restraint was legendary. I would have gone for 'are you fucking kidding me' in the first five minutes.
+AkilTheAwesome China,India,Japan are building a new coal fired power plant every 4 to7 days....That's Americas fault as well..
+jblcva no, they are not. the rich countries are as much responsible as the developing world. you guys just dont want to see the bigger picture
CosmicOwl
Would you care to put your money where your mouth is? I am speaking Nov Dec 2015..
+AkilTheAwesome I honestly think it went pretty well. He insulted their intelligence in a nice way. very professional.
I feel so bad for the scientist. I think he felt his IQ drop every time one of those politicians opened their mouths.
'Welp. there goes more of my brain cells. I am too damned old for this job'
Cheetah1222 You're a fucking moron.
All the money in the world could not induce me to go in front of that committee like he did. Life's too short to drink bad wine.

+Heywood Yabloome There is no good definition for "conflict of interest" in the US government. You can watch John Oliver do a good video on it with a Hawian Senate member say he is being paid by the local plastic company while their voting on an issue to make said company abide by higher standards, and yet the speaker said "No conflict of interest can be found in that statement". It's insane.
Heywood Yabloome I think they use religion as an excuse.
Ishizu montoya

Sounds fair.
The year is 2020, I come from a future where wash your hands and don't drink bleach is considered libral propaganda.

I really hate when the government says "we need to encourage people to get into science" then turn around and ignore everything they say. What is the point in having scientists if you aren't going to believe what they say?
Jeannie Weasly its simple someone needs to design those nice shiny new weapons for the military
lol sad but true
You're assuming the people urging us towards science are the same people ignoring what the scientists say. Not everyone in government thinks the same, you know.
I come from 2020 and science is even less trusted now

I love when politicians act like they're scientifically smarter than goddamn SCIENTISTS.

A 5 year old could've put together a more coherent sentence AND spelled scientist correctly...
I don't know, scientists is a pretty complicated word.
*kappa*
Oh big deal. I used to get annoyed when people misspell but you have to pick your battles. If you want to improve people's grammar, why not donate time to your local time bank and help people that way, instead of insulting them behind a keyboard? We have to change this "I" mentality in this country or things will NEVER improve. Be a good neighbor. Find commonalities rather than differences with people. I just became fast friends with a neighbor who I've lived next door to for 8yrs and barely knew her. She is someone who is a lot older than me, but I didn't think she was. Turns out, we get a long great! Make an efforts to be nice.
jaelynn zee u typed a paragraph complaining about someone calling out your grammar instead of arguing your original point.
I'm ashamed to say I was a global warming skeptic when I was younger but once you do some reading on both sides of the argument, look around you and use common sense it doesn't take a genius to figure out we are having a negative effect on our planet and need to find practical solutions to solve it
You didn't really say anything SPECIFIC. Just like some of the "scientists". They always claim what it WILL be like in the future, IF this or that happen, and what it COULD mean for our planet. And immediately liberal "news" get hold of it and claim it as fact, already happening. Panic sets in and the sky is falling.
WHERE is the "global warming". And IF there is any WHY it's bad?
Why do you put pointless words in all caps? are you shouting at me?
lickstickly, because I'm still trying to find out where is that global warm up. And no real info. And you still didn't say anything really. Where's the "negative effect on our planet"?
Mario Krastanov, 1) I don't know any "Fox News" . 2) Your advice on reading is good, take it. 3) Try to find some global warm up while you travel anywhere. I know for fact that it's not in Canada and not in SouthEast Asia. So clearly if it's anywhere it's not global.
Edward Dongres 1) I am taking my advice to read, that's why I know what's going on with global warming; 2) just because it snows in Canada doesn't mean global warming isn't happening ;)
Again, do read up on things before you comment. Otherwise, you just look plain stupid and I'm willing to bet you're not stupid. There are a lot of things to know in this world, but if you want to speak about something, research it beforehand.
This is the Committee on science, space and technology?
Can it be made into law that people having such important positions actually have an at least somewhat relevant education?
How do these people even dress themselves?
***** Well that wouldn´t help much because these ppl just represent the corporations who fund them.
***** This idea is denominated Technocracy, where experts rule. Because it's so revolutionary and obvious, no Republican delegate would endorse it.
To give them credit, they are somewhat clever as they managed to find a few arguments against climate change despite the overwhelming evidence that states otherwise. And maybe we should have a limit on donation money as money from corporations seem to colour these politicians' viewpoint.
Poorly. They dress themselves poorly
Emil Harvey No, they did not find anything. They just rehashes old arguments.That we debunked even in the early 50ties. They are like creationist, but then towards climate change.
The last part is impossible. All your politicians are bought. All of them have big corporations backing them. Which is why the system is screwed. The system should be as followed. If you are back in anyway by a business from medium to large you are not allowed to run for any kind of office.
How they then spread the word. Make rules that candidates will get an equal amount of time on television to say what they want, and that is it. Nothing else no backing what so ever.
but hey making election, and other things fair. Yeah not going to happen. Businesses have to much invested in keeping the poor, poor, and the rich , rich.
"on the land, you know, the part where the water ISN'T."

Then vote to get them out. It's your constitutional right.

We sorta just tried but the idiots outnumber us
Binocularify Then dedicate your life to educating them and eventually you will turn the tides. That's the only way to fix things.
I've considered it. I have a masters degree in geology already, but I didn't specialize in atmospheric sciences. There are people trying to educate the masses on the issue (see the new Cosmos) but all the false and misleading information (most notably on Fox) is winning for some reason.
The BALLS that guy has to say that scientists need the climate to keep changing to publish their articles! HE is the one who NEEDS to deny global warming to keep the money from energy corporations coming!

Which is stupid!
Dear Mr.Scientist,
I'm a politician with no relevant background in the field of climate science. But let me explain to you, what the entire global scientific community of climate scientists has forgotten to take into account, because CLEARLY it's more likely that you all have forgotten to think of that, than me being wrong.

Just image how infinitely frustrating that committee hearing was for that scientist...like trying to explain to a extremely spoiled teenager that she can't go to that one direction concert she wanted....
nepherdwen And this has happened over a period of years now in the usa. Scientist just burn out after a while on a committee that is that asine and that keeps being asine and is back by asine corporations.
***** That's why I loved this particular scientist! He seems to have the necessary sense of humor about the absurdity of it all. Unfortunately, earnest frustration just plays into the hands of the representatives bought by the lumbering corporate giants.
+nepherdwen More like she can not go because one direction split up, all the members died and were cremated and she keeps going BUT I HAVE A CD WITH VOICES ON SO THEY ARE ALIVE
even if i'm the foremost expert on global warming i would not like to speak to this crowd. It is a black hole of stupidity.
Nam Phung he didn't have a choice :) the stupidity was amazingly strong with them :D
Poor, poor John Holdren. Can you imagine being this well-versed in a subject, only to have a bunch of idiot politicians who know nothing about science telling you you're wrong? What's more frustrating is that I don't even know if these people are really this dumb, or if they know exactly what's happening, but they care more about the amount of money in their pockets than the state of the planet.
I just feel bad for the scientist dude! He'll have better luck teaching 5 year olds!
They can't understand what they're not allowed to understand. Isn't lobbyism a wonderful thing? Just let the planet go to hell. At least these morons get their money.
5 year old:your right mr scientist you are really smart and I'm funding your thingy
idiots:I'm sorry mr unqualified scientist but my wallet is telling me that if the ice all melts water levels will not rise not to mention you you didn't even mention global wobbling😒
i'd probably bash them over the heads with a science textbook.

Would be the first time they see one.
The point isn't that that they don't know this stuff, its that they're
sponsored by the energy companies they "would love to prove global warming isn't real"
I am so sad this is gone I love Trevor's show but Jon Stewart was the godfather that took the worst of life and made us smile at the least thank you jon
When Bucshon referred to "public comments" to refute scientific evidence, I laughed so hard it got to be like those situations where you just can't stop laughing. Took my breath away.
Jon Stewart's takedown of these bought house repubs is goddamned beautiful. I do wish, in all honesty, he was running for president. Now, that would make America great again!
There is no making "America great again" there's only making America great!
It can only improve by moving forward saying great again is like saying "yeah let's go back when certain people couldn't be in certain areas like in the front seats of busses.
Agree tho like to see this guy as president
That still wouldn't solve the main issue of Congress. They'd just treat him like they do Obama.
+Tia Williams True, but it'd be a hell of a lot better than a Congress-enabled Trump.
Nando Sori I do agree with you, and I will cede that my phrasing was ill-conceived, as it was more of a sartorial attempt to dismiss the intentions of the Orange Buffoon.
Referring to the past as some sort of ideal fails to recognise the struggles of the disenfranchised to achieve equality. The past was only really great for a certain few. The true aim should be to make America better for all people, to establish the opportunity for success for all people - and that means moving forward, not backwards.
So, in short, thank you for calling me out on my poor phrasing.
That's why we need to not ignore the mid-terms! People we need a strong Dem in both house and Senate to overturn Citizens United so the Koch Bros can stop taking us to war so they can make more money. These evil men have targeted my home state of WI and have made a mess of things here with Walker and Paul Ryan. People to NEVER trust.
Gotta love how obviously passionate Jon is. He doesn't just deliver the lines and move on; he is completely invested in the delivery.

Binge-watching Jon from 5 yrs ago... could be shows from the last few days. NO ONE WAS EVER MORE PRESCIENT, or better at explaining the big picture nuances of current events.
3 years later... and it seems idiocy still up in "Murica"
I come back here since I can't watch Jon anywhere else.
You can on Comedy Central's webpage :) literally all the episodes!

You see, I'm not explicitly Democrat or Republican, but I don't think I could ever vote for a Republican when the party is the political home of the climate change deniers and speculators.
as well as some of the most intolerant, hypocritical and willfully ignorant people in washington. it's literally unbelievable. my 8 year old nephew can fully explain the *scientific FACT* that is climate change, yet these morons can't even form a complete and/or grammatically correct sentance about climate change when they have to use a "big science word" that they don't understand in said sentance, even tho they're on the science committee
+Celia Rotundo Sentence
😧 relevant thoughts once again wasted on self proclaimed internet spelling and grammar world champion, I feel ashamed. should also mention: type the word sentence into your tablet/whatever if you have a newer Samsung Galaxy product. I've noticed this on both my phone and tablet, and my sisters galaxy too. the autocorrect offers both the spelling 'sentence' and 'sentance' as being correct, and will change sentence with an e to sentance with an a sometimes, depending on how you're using the word, which as far as I know, and im 3 years into a language minor (science major), that's not actually correct. anyway, I just thought id mention it bc it's pretty weird. gl on internet spelling/grammar champ 2016, I believe in you.
Celia Rotundo Are you one to believe there is a 97%+ consensus on global warming, the prime cause being C02?
+Ben Z we breathe out co2...gosh, do this me I should kms?
i wonder how these politicians passed basic science and math.
I'm not convinced they did. Their ignorance is astounding.
Well, they might have prove scientifically God's is an existing entity, or made a report from a book, like The Bible.
Hey Bucshon is absolutely right!! When my doctor tells me I'm sick, I don't believe him either!! After all, he makes money on that. I just declare myself healthy and clean up the blood trail I'm coughing up.
Jon hit the nail on the head. If the energy companies could have bought the scientists, they would have made it "rain in nerd town." These politicians aren't ignorant. They are fully bought and paid for. They understand perfectly who to protect. Big money donor$.
I think they understand fully but they get paid big $$$$ to be ignorant about it.
That scientist should get a nobel peace prize for listening all that and not losing his cool
Damn, I love this segment…
I use it in my lectures on scientific knowledge. The bit where he freaks out and goes "Are you kidding me, are you f-ing kidding me!" gets me every time!
America needs you more then ever John, for the love of god come back!!!
This is peak Jon Stewart. My favourite ever clip I've seen of him.
New Rule for America: No one from the state of Texas should be on any committee that has anything to do with science. EVER.
nayte1 In my opinion, specialized committees should only comprise of people with specialized knowledge backed up by education, e.g. this particular committee should only comprise of people with at least a Bachelor of Science, Applied Science, or Engineering degree.
Doyeon Lee I would agree strictly scientists no one else
Only the Lone Ranger himself can speak on science for Texas.
*Denies stereotyping*
nayte1 I agree with this, and I'm from Texas!
nayte1 They're pretty smart if they're from Austin. I know there are some smart Texans but I think that the stupid ones are so loud and obnoxious they drown out everybody else. I could be wrong.
In 50 years from now, the history books are going to villify Republicans. I still don't know how I'm going to explain this to my grandchildren.
Assuming we make it that long.
I'm pretty sure this is my favorite clip of the daily show ever. It's the only one I continued to look up and watch after all these years.
Same here. I could watch this every day.

It's a pretty bad sign when the best comedy show in a country doesn't even have to make up jokes, but merely has to quote the actual statements of politicians to come up with something completely ridiculous.
Can we have jon stewart back please. We need him now more than ever. Thank you
friendly reminder that all but 1 of the representatives shown in this clip are still in office today in 2018.
Ya, and the one that isn't, is currently in prison
I wished that we have Jon Stewart for President and not Trump.
Ringing especially true right now
I'm a Republican, and I'd still take President Jon Stewart over President Trump any day. Jon Stewart, for example, knows several things which are true. That alone makes him preferable.
To be fair, I would rather have Rod Stewart than Trump.
ttump ruined the US
"Hearing from Big Fecal" I am confused, I thought the discussion was already about Congress? LOL
I love the way John expresses the anger, frustration, and general outrage in his version of the Daily Show... it always felt like the right way to express it, because too often I just feel the anger, frustration, and general outrage and show them in a normal way, but he kinda taught me to funnel it through a comedy filter first and thats kind of allowed me to deal with it better... and God am I glad I learned that before this current administration (soon to be past thank God)
its sad when comedians and late night tv hosts makes better politicians and scientists then the ones that get paid millions of dollars.
Erm just politicians. the scientists are fine
Brendon Tan true. looking back at this, i don't even know why i added scientists
SOME of the ones that get paid millions of dollars. (None of those would be politicians, by the way.) There are plenty of good people in government, it's just that a slimy tribe of shitheels is in control right now.
Serai3 “Plenty” might be a little generous of late. I’d settle for “some”.
I didn't know we'd be talking to an actual scientist. Lmao God bless you Jon Stewart 😂
I love the shoutout for Murray Energy here! 😂 #eatshitBob
"You should look at the scientific literature and not the public comment"
WREKT!!!!!
Q4 2019 and I laughed and cried immediately after cause nothing has changed...
It has now and I am still terrified.
I miss john and i did his bit where he places ice into a water cup to describe rising sea levels. I was a bartender and I was extremely frustrated by a customers assertions. Afterwards he acknowledged my logical conclusion. Best fucking day of my life. Thanks to john Stewart showing me how to talk to stupid people. Including myself.
The scientist looks far more comfortable because he isn't the one making shit up.
True, but he’s gotta hold conversation with a bunch of people who _are._
If by now you haven't noticed, its about time for motherfucking Bernie Sanders.
Yes yes yes to Bernie.
nj4ck Love it!!!!!!!
nj4ck it's just important that people don't forget that Bernie Sanders is also just a human being who will face a lot of trouble. A lot of people thought Obama would do much more for the USA because he is black. I'm kind of scared that people might turn their backs on him because he can't do the things immediately.
Eisdax Obama hardly even tried in many cases and now he's pushing shit like the TPP. I don't think its a huge stretch to expect at least a little more from Bernie, otherwise I agree. He's not going to be able to single-handedly change the country, he'll need a lot of help from the people who elected him.
nj4ck I see it the same way. Obama tried to be everybodies darling.
I will try my hardest as I make my way up in education and bureacracy to ensure jon stewart is taught in political sicence, social studies, and journalism classes!! This man was in his bag this episode!!!
No?
It has almost been five years and this video remains relevant. People like these still sit in important offices, choosing to believe in what they are comfortable with rather than scientific facts.
God I miss Jon Stewart. No one presets the issues like he did.
I swear I've watched this at least five times but that breakdown at 8:54 makes me laugh every time.
The part that gets me every time is 2:22.
I think the scary thing is how impossible it is to tell how much of this is pure unfiltered idiocy, and how much of it is prepared talking points from special interests who want as many people as possible to believe global warming isn't happening or isn't a concern. Of course, if it were the latter you would expect the talking points to be better than "but what about global wobbling," but then again, ALL the science is against said special interests here, and nobody ever accused THEM of not being idiots, so...
We should make these meetings far more public. The fact that it can be boiled down to Smart people telling idiots who run our country how the world works. Then watch the idiots try to disprove scientific facts. I'm sure it would draw more attention and maybe get rid of some of the corruption in the government.
+TrueZero88 It's not going to work. Those who don't believe in climate change won't. They'll take whatever position their Congressman takes, because their Congressman reinforces what they already believe, and no scientist who's out to push their agenda and scare the public is going to convince them otherwise.
Rock Golem Never underestimate the power of sheep in large herds.
I remember when this took place, I was in continental Europe at the time, somewhere in southern France, for work and studies. And i recall that it was all over french news for a couple of days, as they really just could not believe how willfully ignorant these government officials were when it came to climate change and global warming.
People outside of the U.S. were just astonished...
I remember when the host played clips from this same event on national t.v., and the main guests; some minister from the french conservative LREM party, and a climate activist from green EELV party, actually both laughed because they truely thought that it was satire! The host then tried to explain, and the conservative still wasn't having it. He started defending the American conservative movement, by comparing it to the French equivalent, and referencing original conservative principles etc...
But then the other guest caught on and said "-Oh, but the American conservatives are different, their movement is full of religious extremists who embrace 17th century superstitions and reject science... what we're seeing is really happening over there, it's quite unbelievable isn't it? In the 21st century, in the world's leading super power! " The conservative minister and the t.v. host end up agreeing with the member of the green party that America was in the process of losing all credibility in the eyes of the world, and that due to a growing overt distain for critical thinking, poor education, and rampant conspiratorial obscurantism, the U.S.A. was no longer in a position to be taken seriously on positions such as climate change, energy development, or progress in the public sector.
At the time I remember thinking "That's a bit harsh!" And telling myself how it's probably just a phase that American politics we're going through... that eventually people would get a grip, and cooler heads would prevail, and America would end up leading the way into the new era of renewable energy and responsible production...
How completely and utterly, very, very WRONG was I !?!?! 😂 😂 😂 😧
Barely a decade later, and the U.S.A is a global laughing stock, whilst in the grips of a violent proto-fascist movement, with a ridiculous orange authoritarian wanabe dictator at the helm of the nation, and who defines "Truth" as "whatever makes him feel good about himself at any given moment in time".......😨
@3:30 LMAO! "Pushing 1,000,000 lbs. of idiot up a mountain ". (Wow! Do I know that feeling well) Anyway, Gotta love our government... and now we have 10,000,000 lbs. of SUPER IDIOT as head of the executive branch. Guess we're gonna explode like planet Krypton now. 🐸
Shout out to Jon Stewart!!! Miss you sooooo much... you are timeless!!😀
Did those congressmen fail their 5th grade science class? They shouldn’t be on that committee, for Pete’s sake.
Probably the best Jon Stewart episode of all time.
Jon was a gem
“Before you tell your kids to wash their hands after they take a shit so they don’t spread disease...maybe we should spend an equal amount of time hearing from Big Fecal.”
Stewart just boiled down our entire political divide right there
Miss him soo much...
Sometimes, when I start to lose all of my patience with another human being, I think of Jon saying "because it's already in the water", and i can stay a step back from furious to annoyed.
This makes me realize how much I will miss this show, and miss Jon Stewart.
I have this weird feeling that Stewart wasn't acting or trying to be funny when he lost it trying to explain the ice-making-the-water-overflow thing. Now I know that might be obvious, but I've just spent the last hour and half watching climate change deniers spew bullshit on their UA-cam channels. Maybe I ought to give UA-cam a break... At least that part of UA-cam.
Get a fucking life, will you?!!! There are no climate change deniers anywhere. Climate is changing for millions of years and everyone knows. And (almost) everyone knows ocean level fluctuates some 400 feet, possibly slightly more as some ancient corals on dry land indicates. Right now it's pretty much stand still. It may still go little higher IF the temperatures reach the same levels as in Holocene Maximum 5000 years ago (I wish). But eventually whole Caribbean will be solid land once again with next Ice Age. And Ice Ages last more that 80% of the time, we are just lucky to live in the Interglacial period. That's the nature of things. And no any Kyoto Rain Dance will change that.
"And Ice Ages last more that 80% of the time". What time? Solar time? UTC? Unix time? GMT? Daylight savings time? What time?
Sure, ignore the research. Who cares? The time for action is behind us. There's no point arguing about who's right and who isn't. We had a window of opportunity and we lost it.
Out of curiosity, what makes you so sure that you're right and the overwhelming majority of the scientific are completely wrong about this? I mean if it were even 60% for and 40% against, I'd've understood your skepticism, but that's hardly the case. So.... Just curious, what research have you come across that proves such a vast majority wrong?
And I know I'm beating my head against a giant wall of dipshit here, but those time-scales you're talking about and the time-scales we have proof of are orders of magnitude apart. So... Yeah, that's me.
Edward Dongres It's the damn RATE of current temperature change Edward. THE RATE. Geologists know full well the sea levels have gone up in the past. It's extremely insulting to read your comments insinuating that geologists/climatologists are too dumb to realize that the globe has warmed and cooled cyclicly and we should just assume it's the same thing now. It'd be like lecturing an engineer about different types load bearing walls. Seriously.
Binocularify 1) If it's the RATE then we are heading for new ice age.
2) You don't have to be geologist. to know if the water's rising. Fishermen or others living by the sea would know better. I'm sure Dutch would notice. And IF the water's rising why would they spent millions to rebuild New Orleans which is UNDER the sea level as it is and was? :)
3) No one says anyone is dumb. Those who do already lost the debate. I'm sure you realized that.
Edward Dongres In reply to 1) where are you getting your information that temperatures are falling at any rate whatsoever?
2) geologists have a lot of logical ways to determine past CO2 concentrations of our atmosphere, a lot more than fisherman do. They rebuilt new Orleans because they are being really really ignorant and not facing the obvious problem with much intelligence
3) I realize this and there is a difference between dumb and ill-informed and ignorant.
Just here because Jon once a week in ‘24 isn’t enough looking forward to this year with you Mr. Stewart.
"Maybe we should take an equal amount of time to hear from Big Fecal."
John, you just finished playing clips from the House of Reps. That *IS* Big Fecal.
8:55 is where I laugh so hard that the tears of frustration and anger almost feel normal.
Just imagine, that man spent thousands of hours working to be a scientist then had to work even more to be in the position that he is in in the American government. Then has to answer questions about displacement of ice in a cup of water.
I feel so smart right now, and surprised to know THIS LEVEL OF IDIOCY is in charge
MY GOD, I THINK I HAD A BLUE SCREEN MID VIDEO
+JP Fragoso (Johnice227) It's not thet they are stupid, only that they sold their appearance of common sense
Right. Like these guys would actually endanger the entire planet to make a few extra bucks? Really?
Oh I know. Sorry if I didn't sound sarcastic enough.
Ulises González Pacheco I don't get them, I mean I can care really little about people most of the time, but at least I want the rest of the biophere to be in good shape.
His "I don't believe the scientists, it is their profession, NOT their hobby" is relevant in 2021 today, more than ever.
Jon Stewart is an absolute Legend! I never get tired of watching this man get frustrated and then goes on destroying people in a hillarious way.
Larry Bucshon makes me ashamed to be a Hoosier
+Doom Guy
It's ok. We all know he's on the low end of the Indiana spectrum.
+Keegan Duncan Same
Its ok, he's actually from Illinois
I've watched this bit 25 times and it still makes me laugh every 10 seconds I watch it...
This piece is absolutely incredible. I've watched it a thousand times and can't believe what is happening there.
i love this man so fucking much
Me too,him and his writers are amazing.
Same here. Intelligence + humor + fact = sheer awesomeness.
Hari Menon agreed, this entire show is pure genius. the writing is amazing!
Arianna Antt To bad he's gonna leave soon. =(
Engineer Diep No! Why's that? :(
What’s scary is how little has changed.
In my opinion it's the opposite.
It's scary *HOW MUCH HAS CHANGED* ... with the climate ...
Jon Stewart please come back, we need you, sincerely, the humans of the Earth.
I honestly think this is one of the best bits he ever did.
I recall hanging out with grad students in the environmental science department in college who were asked bs questions like this during their research. While preparing for their thesis defense, they told me how they were given bs questions such as "is climate really the cause for the increase in storms in this area over the past 20 years?" (Paraphrased of course)
.
Frustrating as it may have seemed, we were certain that the questions were really meant to prepare them for life as a climate scientist. I hope they're doing well.
"You should look at the scientific literature rather than the public comments"
Literally the best comeback ever.
Here in 2020 and missing this guy.
This sounds like the first draft to "Don't look up"
six years old...and could be re-run uncut today as if it were live! 😱
We miss you John, used to watch your show every day, now we need you more than ever
In case anyone was wondering, this is the Jon Stewart Daily Show's most watched UA-cam clip, aside from the interview with The Dictator. This is the most watched "straight news" bit.
It's fantastic feeling to be able to say that 9 years later he's back!
Murray energy?!? John Oliver knew from the beginning!
Re watching this I can understand why he left. He would have had an actual heart attack during the trump presidency
You’re right! When he took over from Craig Kilborn, he began with an effort to rib both sides equally. But during Bush admin he began getting so much more exasperated with Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, etc. that he started yelling more and moving left. Trump would indeed have sent him to the ER - but oh, the jokes we’d have heard up till the ambulance arrived!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
John Holdren's responses here are amazing. Calm, cool, collected, and even passively insulting to people with a limited grasp of the physical sciences....ahhhh, I miss the days when the GOP were merely obstructing adaptation to a changing world instead of actively trying to make things worse.
doesn't get old
I always come back, I wish there were more clips on here.
Sadly climate change "skeptics" are still making this argument.
4 years old video, still relevant today.
"Last week they held a hearing that they apparently recorded in 1971." Brilliant 😂
Jon, we miss you!
Noah is a sweetheart but Jon Stewart is a master,we miss you.
I love that scientist!😁😄😆🤣🤣😂😅
Watch this in 2019. Be afraid of politicians, be very afraid.
