a death penalty defense disagreeing with climate advocates. former chair of the earth and atmospheric climates. judith curry, thanks for coming on tonight. do you think that people who raise questions about climate change should be prosecuted for premeditated murder? well, of course not. i think it s a rather w ludicrous proposal. i hope that nobody is taking it seriously. climate change is a very complex issue. and i m concerned that we have oversimplified both the problem and its solution. and we need to have a widepr ranging debate about all this. and people trying to stifle it are short changing science, the policy process and our democracy. tucker: but why would we have a debate on something that s absolutely settled about which we know everything? isn t a debate just allowing industry to destroy the
fundamentally unknowable? how could jim acosta know what president trump means? can i answer osmosis on that? you can look at all of president trump s tweets on this topic and it s all out there. race is not broached once. he has also verbally talked about this as well. you don t see race broached anywhere. since we have, again, reporters and pundits that last month were playingd mental health officials when it comes to analyzing the president s sanity, now apparently we are reading minds as well as far as that goes. just to answer mr. acostat when he said why weren t there any angry tweets at tom brady when he didn t show up at the white house for that celebration, brady s mother has cancer. and tom wanted to spend time with her at that time. that s why he couldn t go and that s why the president didn t respond, but jim acosta doesn t report that. tucker: by the way, i was at the redskins game last night and watched the raiders kneel for the national anthem and a bunch of them wer
earth for profit? we understand some basic we understand some basic things. like we know that the climate has been warming.th we know that humans have been emitting carbon dioxide.ar we know that carbon dioxidee warms the planet. however, there is widespread disagreement on how much of the recent warm something is caused by humans. how much climate will change in the 21st century. is warming bad or not? and what, if anything, can we do about it? all of those issues are topics of intense debate. very complex topics. tucker: what do you mean is warming bad ?ad we know that and i think i m quoting al gore and leonardo dicaprio here whenec i say it s an existential threat to the planet, judith curry. how could you even raise the question, is it bad?
what do you mean by that? well, i don t think anybody thinks it s an existential threat to the planet who is seriously looking at this problem fromhr an academic perspective. climate has always changed. whether warming is intrinsically good or bad, that s a value judgment. there is a lot of uncertainty about what might happen. what are the impacts and whether they are bad or good. whether they are bad or good is fundamentally a value judgment. and some regions might benefit and some might be harmed. i mean, that s just part of the way weather and climate works. tucker: are you surprised to learn that al goree studied theology and not climatology in college? no. [laughter] tucker: and with that, dr. judith curry, it is
everything is political because the left is trying to do what it can t do at the ballot box. tucker: that s exactly right. foundations. tucker: the rest of us are in church or sleeping and they never sleep. victor davis hanson thank you as always. great to see you. hillary clinton s latest explanation for herna defeat, women don t recognize all the sexism in the world. up next, i will ask a democratic strategist whether this theory makes her defeat any moreic explicable than the prior explanations did. what exactly does it mean? stay tuned. whoooo.
