Bill Maher calls Republicans who deny climate change to keep donations flowing "prostitutes." Which personally I think is an insult to prostitutes everywhere.

Courtesy of Mediaite: 

Bill Maher ended his show tonight  (Actually last night.) by going after Republican “zombie lies” on the environment and basically calling them “prostitutes” for denying climate change just to satisfy donors. 

He ripped into candidates like Rick Perry, Jeb Bush, and Ted Cruz for raising serious questions about established science on climate change, before saying the whole thing was “never about facts to begin with.”

I loved this:

" In 2013 an MIT professor studies almost 11,000 peered reviewed articles about climate change. And there were only two dissenters. So yes, there is a scientific community that doubts climate change. But it could fit on a motorcycle."

I think that is one of the best metaphors I have ever heard to explain just how vast and overwhelming the research is that supports the fact of climate change, and that the change is the fault of man.

The sad fact is we no longer have the luxury of arguing about this anymore, we have to act.

And the even sadder fact is that we have spent so much time arguing, that what we do now will have limited impact on reversing the damage that we have already caused.
