Chuck Todd Made an Important Announcement About How 'Meet the Press' Will Treat Climate Change From Now On, and People Are Cheering

Meet The Press has had enough of climate change deniers.

On Sunday, Meet The Press host Chuck Todd announced "We’re not going to give time to climate deniers. The science is settled even if political opinion is not."

According to an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll conducted earlier this year, two thirds of those surveyed believe that climate change is a serious problem.

Sunday's show was dedicated to global warming, and included guests Michael Bloomberg, California Governor Jerry Brown, climate scientist Kate Marvel, and a bevy of others. "We do have a panel of experts with us today to help us understand the science and consequences of climate change and, yes, ideas to break the political paralysis over it," said Todd.

Kate Marvel, a scientist at Columbia University and NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, echoed the sentiment about political paralysis, saying that educating the public is key. "I think it's really important for scientists to go out in communities, engage with what's important to people in communities."

Bloomberg called out the current administration, saying "Any candidate for federal office better darn well have a plan to deal with the problem that the Trump science advisers say could, basically, end this world."

Brown was even more critical: "It took Roosevelt many, many years to get America willing to go into world war two and fight the Nazis," he said. "Well, we have an enemy, though different, but perhaps very much devastating in a similar way."

"This year," said Todd, "a series of climate reports, including one produced by 13 agencies in Mr. Trump's government, issued dire warnings of economic and human catastrophe, if there is not immediate action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But the federal response to the climate crisis has been political paralysis and denial."

When asked in November about global warming, Donald Trump said "I don't believe it." It seems the president won't be a guest on Meet The Press any time soon.

MAGA Senator Slammed After Scolding Americans For Whining About High Gas Prices Amid Iran War—And Wow

Kansas Republican Senator Roger Marshall chastised Americans for complaining about high gas prices and insisted they should consider that their "national security is even more important" than whatever blows are being dealt to their wallets at the gas pump.

Consumer prices are up 3.3% compared to a year ago, largely fueled by a surge in energy costs. The energy index jumped 10.9% in a single month as oil and gas prices climbed sharply. Amid the Iran war and the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, oil has risen back to around $100 a barrel, pushing gasoline prices up by a record 25%.

Kid Goes Viral After Leaving Sweet Note On Plane For The Person Sitting In Their Seat On The Next Flight

A lot is going on in our world right now that gives us pause, and some of us might feel our hearts breaking under the weight of all of it. That makes acts of kindness, no matter how small they are, more important than ever before.

X user @oatmilkanie shouted out an unidentified child who clearly got the memo when they boarded a plane and discovered that the child had written a note for the next person to sit in their seat, directly on the paper nausea bag that's snuggled in the seat pocket in front of the passenger's knees.

Woman Creeped All The Way Out After Finding Hidden Door In The Ceiling Of Her Airbnb

A lot of us already cannot sleep well when we're visiting someone else's home or staying in a hotel, because we're uncomfortable in a different bed and maybe even a little creeped out in the unusual space.

But discovering a whole other room with a creepy door would quickly transform a space from a rental to something out of a horror movie real quick for anybody.
