Watch Bill Maher slam incoming climate denying senators – ‘You have to be ashamed these people are on your team’ (VIDEO)

Bill Maher excoriates incoming climate denying Senators

Bill Maher read from the Climate Change 2014 Synthesis Report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The four major statements of the document follow.

Observed Changes and their Causes

Human influence on the climate system is clear, and recent anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases are the highest in history. Recent climate changes have had widespread impacts on human and natural systems.

Future Climate Changes, Risks and Impacts

Continued emission of greenhouse gases will cause further warming and long-lasting changes in all components of the climate system, increasing the likelihood of severe, pervasive and irreversible impacts for people and ecosystems. Limiting climate change would require substantial and sustained.

Future Pathways for Adaptation, Mitigation and Sustainable Development

Adaptation and mitigation are complementary strategies for reducing and managing the risks of climate change. Substantial emissions reductions over the next few decades can reduce climate risks in the 21st century and beyond, increase prospects for effective adaptation, reduce the costs and challenges.

Adaptation and Mitigation

Many adaptation and mitigation options can help address climate change, but no single option is sufficient by itself. Effective implementation depends on policies and cooperation at all scales, and can be enhanced through integrated responses that link adaptation and mitigation with other societal objectives.

Bill Maher then went on to point out all the Senators that lost their elections or their position of leadership. As he did that he contrasted the climate stance of the incoming and outgoing senators.

After Bill Maher painstakingly contrast these climate denying incoming senators he could not help his exasperation as he spoke to Kristen Soltis. “You have to be ashamed these people are on your team,” Bill Maher said. “Please tell me you are ashamed these people are on your team.”
