"Speaking of not knowing what to do — global warming!"
Yours truly is not a big fan of the modern-day kings of irony, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, but this segment on global warming, despite the slightly confusing opening, is hilarious…and, actually, quite insightful about the American public's reaction to the threat of global warming. As Colbert said:
"In the face of all the mounting evidence of climate change, America has stood with one voice and boldly proclaimed, "Eh."
"One day our environment will get bad enough that we'll want to act on it — maybe on the day that Florida sinks under water!"
