Julia Gillard and the Australian Carbon Tax
Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard announced a new carbon tax, reversing a previous campaign promise. Gillard repeatedly used the phrase "the science is in" to justify the policy as a necessary response to climate change and extreme weather events. The hosts mock the repetitive nature of her rhetoric and its similarity to global climate memes.
