change grief: denial, denial, denial, denial, and acceptance. [ laughter ] now, sure, america beat tojo; we crushed hitler; we put a man on the moon, but incrementally reducing co2 emissions? that sounds like work. [ laughter ] how can we fight an enemy we can't even see?! get out of here! get out of here! did i hit it? i don't know. [ laughter ] so, it's high time we stop trying to solve the problem and resign ourselves to each day getting worse. [ laughter ] because when erick erickson says, "get used it," he means city-swallowing storms, mass extinctions, deadly heatwaves, crippling floods, and droughts that make a desert out of oklahoma. [ laughter ] that's just how it is now. our problems are just too big to cure. so join me and erick. give up, crawl into bed with a cheesecake and wait for death. [ laughter ] now sure, the only thing worse than global warming itself might be knowing you're destroying the planet and doing nothing, but if guys like erick have their way, you better get used to it. [ laughter ] and that's the word. we'll be right back. [cheers and applause] [cheers and
