Nothing says comedy and entertainment like late night comedians coming together to push a doomsday climate cult, ones that work on sets that require the use of a lot of energy and celebs flying in on fossil fueled jets, right?
Late-Nights Hosts Come Together To Tackle Climate Change
A majority of late-night hosts are to dedicate a night to tackling climate change.
The comedians will each focus on the topic on Wednesday September 22 – Climate Night – in a rare show of unity across the genre.
CBS’ The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The Late Late Show with James Corden, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Late Night with Seth Meyers, Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Trevor Noah and TBS’ Full Frontal with Samantha Bee are all participating.
The event is designed to coincide with Climate Week NYC and has been created by former Daily Show and Patriot Act showrunner Steve Bodow. It is being supported in part by Laurene Powell Jobs’ Emerson Collective.
Will they be turning out the lights and turning the AC off, or at least up to 80? Or, would that inconvenience the running of the show and the celebs?
“Climate change has gone very fast from ‘probably the future,’ to ‘actually, right now’ – which means we all need to be talking and thinking about it much more,†said Bodow. “Late-night hosts reflect our national conversation even more than Russian Twitter bots set it – so this incredible group of shows coming together makes a statement about the scale and urgency of the world’s hottest problem.â€
Oooooooh, so edgy, Russian Twitter bots!
“I don’t want to die,†said Kimmel.
“In the interest of recycling, please use whatever Jimmy Kimmel said,†said Fallon.
You have a much better chance being mugged or shot or stabbed or assaulted in NYC and LA than dying from a slight increase in the world’s average temperature over the past 170 years. Even the NY Times covers this, as do other “news” organizations. And not a one asked “hey, other than preaching to the choir (seriously, who else watches these programs, other than hardcore leftists?), what, exactly, will your shows, your hosts, and your networks be doing?”

U.K. Power Surges to Record 400 Pounds as Wind Fails to Blow
Electricity prices soared to a record in Britain as a period of still weather is curbing wind power, exposing the U.K.’s reliance on intermittent renewables.
U.K. power for next day exceed 400 pounds ($553) a megawatt-hour at an auction on Monday, an all-time high. Wind generation is currently below normal, accounting for about 11% of all the electricity entering the grid. That’s leaving the market exposed to swings at a time five nuclear units are offline.
The U.K.’s ability to meet peak demand was already set to shrink this winter as coal and nuclear power stations close early. The outlook has worsened as low wind speeds have forced Britain to rely more on fossil fuels to produce power at a time Europe is facing a shortage of gas and coal prices are surging.
Remember, wind is totally reliable.
Does anyone wonder why 40 YO reruns of Johnny Carson are still aired?
None of these current shlubs would make a rash on Ed McMahan’s backside.

It really is amazing how un-funny these idiots have become. Only leftists could take the fun and laughter out of comedy. They’d take the fun out of fukin if they controlled that too.
It is terrible. As you talk to the idiots less than 30, and many older, they hesitate between comments that you are making so they can run it through their little minds and determine if they have been offended or for that matter if any one on earth would feel offended. I go ahead and get it over with, just talk like it was the 60s, they can’t handle that. For instance I will tell of my first football game at LSU and the cheer they were using. We were playing Rice so the cheer was, “what comes out of a China mans ass, Rice, Rice. Kills them every time. Yes, I remember your wife is Korean, but she is not Chinese and my Korean neighbor loves the cheer.
