Rogan has also on several episodes cherry-picked & grossly misrepresented a paleoclimate study discussed in a 2024 Washington Post article. He says it showed that we're in a cooling period. The article itself noted that the planet is now warming faster than at any time in the past 485B years (8/11)
Scientists have captured Earth’s climate over the last 485 million years. Here’s the surprising place we stand now.
An effort to understand Earth’s past climates uncovered a history of wild temperature shifts and offered a warning on the consequences of human-caused warming.

You can’t reboot the planet if you crash it
What Gates is putting forward aren’t legitimate arguments that can be made in good faith. They are shopworn fossil fuel industry talking points.

Why is every Democratic Governor not standing with him & saying this in unison?
Next step they publicly call on every Repub governor to join them in denouncing the regime's blatant authoritarianism. Sure Repubs won't join but it's how you shift the narrative!

Priztker: if federal agents fired upon journalists and protesters, when unprovoked, what would we call it?
I don't think we'd have any trouble calling it what it is. Authoritarianism.
So let's not pretend it's something else when it happens in our American cities.
