“For four and a half billion years, there has been climate change. The surface temperature was at one point four hundred degrees Fahrenheit.” Dr. Alisa Newlett declared.

“The panic and the catastrophizing is a result of hysteria and unreason. Thank you.”

Then, when Dr. Alisa began to step down from the podium, someone in the crowd jumped up and displayed a mean mug.

“It’s your goddamn fossil fuels! It’s all because of man that this is happening!”

“An asteroid took out the flora and fauna that provided for the chance for us to be cool in this air conditioned auditorium.”
