WaPo: We're in a cooling period.

(Bernie) pushed the climate change narrative that “the last ten years have been the warmest on record.”

Rogan’s response was brutal. He didn’t just push back. He pulled out an article from The Washington Post and fact-checked the claim right in front of Sanders’ face.

BERNIE SANDERS: “There are some people who think climate change is a hoax. It ain’t a hoax. I think the last ten years have been the warmest on record...”

JOE ROGAN: “Did you see the Washington Post piece?... Essentially, they found that we’re in a cooling period...

And this was, like, a very inconvenient discovery. But they had to report the data, and kudos to them for doing that.”

SANDERS: “Well, I’m not sure. I didn’t read that article. But, you know, the scientists who are out there—I think I know.”

ROGAN: “But there’s a lot of money involved in that too, Bernie. That’s part of the problem. There’s a lot of money involved in this whole climate change emergency issue. And there’s a lot of control. And that’s a big part of this problem.”

The key admission here is: “I didn’t read that article.” Bernie’s got strong opinions, just not enough curiosity to read a 5-minute article.

The headline of the article reads, “Scientists have captured Earth’s climate over the last 485 million years. Here’s the surprising place we stand now.”

The article included a chart tracking temperatures all the way back to 485 million years ago—and it turns out we’re living in one of the coolest periods on record.
