Hot and Bothered

In the hundreds in Texas, in the nineties in Oregon, and in the nineties on the East Coast. The hosts of Right and Freedom are hot and bothered—and not in a good way. In this pod-isode, we discuss the overwhelming mountain of evidence that there is about climate change. But wait…there’s more! It wouldn’t be a Right and Freedom Podcast without some mention of the deplorables and those who follow MTG (and not Magic the Gathering, unfortunately). It turns out one of our very good friends has been brainwashed apparently and now is…get this…quoting MTG as an expert. On what? Listen and find out, but be assured, she’s not an expert. But “she’s an elected politician so she knows things we can’t.”

Let me make a point really quickly. Having worked for the federal government, I can assure you that they are not a scary all-knowing entity that many believe. They are not hiding troves of intelligence. There is some, but mostly it’s on national defense, and you probably don’t want to know all of that. Just saying that no, MTG does not have some treasure trove of info that gives her any more credibility than anyone else on issues like…for example…climate change.

Do you know who does have credibility?

Scientists. It’s time to start listening to them (you know who you are).

I said what I said.
