I seriously, sincerely hope you're joking. Just in case you're not, I'm going to quote my previous post.

He thinks that global warming is a conspiracy theory designed by the Chinese to suppress the US economy, and that because it's cold outside, that global warming doesn't exist.

Seriously, this is the biggest load of bullstuff that's humanly possible. Oh no, there's snow outside, your argument is invalid! In case you don't know, yes, global warming is real and we're already seeing the effects of it. Despite what Annoying Orange has said, we're reaching record high and record low temperatures all over the world, much faster than we ever have before. Droughts, torrential downpours, record highs and lows, overall we're seeing more extreme weather, which scientists predicted TO A T.
We're seeing the effects of global warming in every possible way, including:
- Sea levels rising (6.7 inches raised in the last century, and most of that was within the last decade)
- Global temperature raising
- Ocean temperature raising
- (As mentioned) More and more extreme weather and natural disasters
- Shrinking ice sheets
- Ocean acidification (Which is now starting to forget over coral reefs and could result in actual extinctions. Way to go, world.)
And the list goes on.
If you want to get seriously educated on this, here's a really good read, totally free: http://www.ccrc.unsw.edu.au/sites/default/files/Copenhagen_Diagnosis_HIGH.pdf
It's basically an accumulation of the latest climate change research up to 2011. Global warming has gotten even worse since then, keep that in mind.

Do you really think that you're somehow smarter than hundreds of thousands of people who have dedicated their lives towards researching the effects that we've had on the world? Because you're not. I know that's a bit of an ego blow but it's time to face reality. If you're going to deny climate change, put up some scientific evidence.

Yes. Last winter it was brutal. Snow after snow after snow. The year before that it was pretty bad. The year before that was worse. The year before that there wasn't any snow. This year it snowed twice.

Firstly, while those three tweets are admittedly ridiculous, they're from January 2014, which is two years ago, before Annoying Orange began his presidential bid, and I wouldn't consider those a part of his platform given the time elapsed. On the other side of the coin, there have been some pretty ridiculous things said by Sanders and Clinton which are equally mind numbing, but rarely brought up. Hillary is fairly obvious, but I'd like to present a tweet Sanders put out that is both incredibly ridiculous and mind-numbingly ignorant at the same time.



This tweet is from October 2015, which is, by my approximation, about four months and change ago. At face value, this tweet looks to be inconspicuous, but let's delve a little deeper.

What's the difference between a mortgage or a car loan and a college loan? I'll give you a few to think about it. Time's up, and the difference is quite simple: Income and collateral. College students usually have little to no income and unlike a car loan or a mortgage where there is a tangible object attached to the loan, a college loan has no collateral whatsoever.

Now, this could be forgiven for a simple mistake, but Sanders' specific complaint here is that college loans have higher interest rates than car loans/mortgages, which is a ludicrous idea. By definition, an Unsecured Loan is "[An unsecured loan is] a loan that is issued and supported only by the borrower's creditworthiness, rather than by a type of collateral. An unsecured loan is one that is obtained without the use of property as collateral for the loan. Borrowers generally must have high credit ratings to be approved for an unsecured loan."

In other words, a college loan is backed only by trust that the prospective student will pay back the loan. This student likely has no income and given that there is no physical collateral attached to secure the loan, this kind of loan is much riskier than the other kinds Sanders mentioned for the creditor. It's common sense that a creditor giving a more risky loan is going to charge higher interest, especially a college loan. While Annoying Orange may be abrasive and often rude, I think that sheer ignorance of economic policy is equally frightening.

Looks like I chose the perfect time to become a meteorologist then

Weather fluctuates.

weather and climate are Two Different Bros, bro. weather fluctuates chaotically, climate is the general trend or pattern we can find over time

it makes perfect economic sense that a college loan would be riskier to lenders than a car/house loan. the point he's making is that he thinks it's absurd that people have to make these massive loans to be successful in this economy. manufacturing isn't coming back in america; we're a services economy and people need to be highly educated. college education is pretty much mandatory, and this is only becoming more and more true, and college is only getting more and more expensive

For the skeptical of Global Warming, here's a handy video that addresses misconceptions regarding it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWXoRSIxyIU

In the case of this particular election, Global Warming is probably an issue of the lowest priority. I don't really think it matters whether or not our next 4 years are dedicated to reducing CO2 emissions.
