To be crystal clear from the start, I do not regularly listen to MSNBC. In fact I do not listen to MSNBC at all. However on C&C there was a clip from a recent interview of Presidential candidate, Vivek Ramaswamy by Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC. If you want to see an example of a sheep being thrown to a wolf, this interview is the perfect example. … FYI, Ramaswamy was not the sheep.
The topic was that of climate change as a hurricane was approaching the Big Bend area of Florida., and Ramaswamy made it interesting. If there was a way Andrea Mitchell would have crawled into a hole, she would have, and indeed, she should have.
As Mitchell quoted the unknown mayor of St. Petersburg, Ramaswamy schooled her with the following:
“Here’s the TRUTH: the climate disaster death rate has *declined* by 98% over the last century, even as carbon emissions have risen. The average person is 50X less likely to die of a climate-related cause than in 1920. Why? Fossil fuels.
“And 8x as many people die from cold temperatures as warm ones. The right answer to all temperature-related deaths is, again, more abundance of fossil fuels. These are inconvenient truths for the climate cult. The real emergency isn’t climate change, it’s the man-made disaster of climate change policies that threaten U.S. prosperity.”
My guess is that after being schooled by Vivek Ramaswamy, Andrea Mitchell won’t be having him back as a guest on her show anytime soon!
