now for the simultaneous sip.

Ah, well, there was a prediction I didn't make that I should have, and it goes like this. All right, this is what I should have said the other day. I was thinking of doing it, and I thought, yeah, I'm not sure I want to do it. And here's the prediction. I was going to say that President Trump is having such a good week that the anti-Trump media is going to have to go back to their old bag of tricks. And sure enough, climate change. So there's big headlines on climate change. If we do not totally reverse things by 2030, there will be grievous harm to the world.

Now, I guess this news was going to happen anyway because the IPCC issued a report, but it's kind of weird that the report comes out exactly at the time the Kavanaugh thing is done. Have you noticed the consistency of the news? You know, if there's a slow news time, there's always a story that just plops right in. Now we haven't heard much about Russia. Do you remember Mueller? So I don't know whether we should worry about climate change this time or not.

I will tell you that the way it's presented once again is fraudulent. So now I'm just talking about the way the news presents it. So I'm not talking about the science. So the basic science, I assume if you add CO2 to a closed system the temperature will go up, and I would imagine that that's certain enough that we could call that science, that we could call that true. But the projections, of course, are the hard part, and with a lot of variables in play.

But here's the part that's completely illegitimate, and every time I point it out you should say to yourself, oh my God, why wasn't that obvious to me before you pointed it out? It goes like this. The world doesn't have one decision to make. Climate change is not the one thing we have to figure out. If you spend all of your money or some trillions of your money on climate change, you won't have money for the other stuff.

So when they say climate change could cause us to have X amount of, you know, a trillion dollars of problems, you have to weigh that against what else would you do with that trillion dollars? Would you give everybody health care? Would you win a war? Would you make sure that a comet that was heading toward the earth didn't get us? Would you have more defense against a pandemic? Would you build your borders so that you can protect them? There you've got other things to do with this money. Somebody called it the opportunity cost. That is correct.

So I call this a half opinion. If the only thing you
