First they said the Earth was going to get really hot and bad weather was going to happen. I said the Earth wasn’t getting hotter, it was all cycles.

Then every year it got hotter, and hurricanes and tornadoes and fires all got more frequent and intense. So I said, OK, but it wasn’t necessarily caused by man.

Then the scientific data became undeniable, and the world knew we did it to ourselves. And I said, yeah, but the costs to fix it outweigh the cost of the changes.

Then my house burnt up. And I lost my mind. And I said, “Don't worry boys and girls, climate change is good for you!”
