IPCC Lawsuit and Media Consensus Bias

A group of 600 scientists is reportedly preparing to sue Al Gore and the IPCC over alleged inaccuracies in global warming reports. An analysis by the Business & Media Institute is cited, claiming that 80% of network news stories on climate change fail to mention alternative scientific opinions. The hosts argue that the media, particularly CBS, promotes hysteria while ignoring significant pollution sources like China.

New Consensus and the 25 Holocausts Climate Metric

Rihanna Gun-Wright, policy director for New Consensus and an ally of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, claimed on CNN that the difference between 1.5 and 2 degrees of warming represents "25 Holocausts" in terms of human deaths. The hosts mock the use of this extreme metric and the framing of climate change as the primary driver of all other social issues.
