California Representative Barbara Lee introduced House Resolution 29, which claims climate change disproportionately affects women and may drive them into "transactional sex" or "sex work." The hosts mock the resolution's preamble, which links environmental stress to an increase in prostitution and early marriage in developing nations.

The hosts characterize the logic as insane and argue that climate policy is primarily a vehicle for carbon taxation rather than environmental protection.
