Climate Hustler McCarthy beginning around the 38:00 timestamp. Hustling fear. Not fact. And that lisp is a real good giveaway.
Fact: Man's impact on nature, on the earth's climate is puny. Though our arrogance would have us believe otherwise. One large volcanic eruption shoots more carbon in the atmosphere than all of human activity has since the dawn of man combined. We're puny.
For visual scale, here's a video of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. Alarming video. Millions and millions of barrels of oil spewing out. This CBS story brings back the panic about what the spill was doing to our environment.
The news media even said the spill would end up coating the shores of the British Isles with oil, big plumes would get caught up in the Gulf Stream, swoop around the tip of Florida and carrying it on a transoceanic journey to Europe. And it sounded compelling. The video pictures of beaches and estuaries filled with oil were horrible to see.
But when it was capped the damage never came close to the fear porn put out by the news. In the grand scheme of things, even though all that oil, millions and millions and millions of barrels of it gushing from the leak looked like a lot, and even though some of it did end up damaging localized ecosystems, it was never the threat to the world it was portrayed as. All that oil was but a tiny drop in the volume of water that the Gulf of Mexico holds. All that oil, puny compared to nature itself. And there's more atmosphere above the earth than there is water on it. Meaning any pollution, any carbon - which isn't a dangerous gas, is a necessary gas for life - that man puts into the atmosphere is even punier than the oil released in the Gulf. Just more fear porn. With lispy climate hustler's like McCarthy trolling for dollars at public bathhouses.

From Covid to climate change , all fear porn. Then when you try to voice an opinion, you get muzzled.
