Topic: Climate Gov

Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show aired a segment featuring climate scientists asserting that anthropogenic global warming is a certainty and "not a prank." The segment, which directed viewers to globalchange.gov, was criticized for using a child using profanity to emphasize the message. Analysts describe the piece as a high-production "native ad" or psychological operation funded by climate initiatives.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) launched Climate.gov to provide data on global warming, but the site is criticized for missing data. Specifically, the "incoming sunlight" chart ends in 1999, while other metrics continue to 2004. The hosts argue that the site is a tool for "indoctrinating children" and promoting the "science is in" narrative to support cap-and-trade legislation.
