Correspondents Dinner, GOP vs Trump, Climate Science | Overtime with Bill Maher (HBO)

[@dimavasilev5342]

"Comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable" Damn, I like that mantra

[@xxczerxx]

Dima Vasilev She didn't make it up, it's a popular saying

[@dimavasilev5342]

+Mac Still, it's my first time hearing it

[@AlbertGuilmont]

Finley Peter Dunne

[@adamk5937]

I completely agree.

[@dreamcx8954]

It's old but timely! Hallafuckingluya

[@ShadowinaCave]

The idiocy of the climate-change "debate" is that the deniers think their glib, shallow point-scoring has the same validity and intellectual weight as the findings of trained, disciplined scientists who've studied this for years. We're doomed by entitlement to Opinion.

[@herculeholmes504]

*NATURAL CLIMATE VARIABILITY.* *CARBON IS NOT A POLLUTANT.* *WE DO NOT HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY TO MEASURE GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE.* *GLOBAL WARMING THEORY HAS BEEN PROVEN FRAUDULENT.*

[@ShadowinaCave]

Hercule Holmes Exactly. Claims of idiocy.

[@wyoboy01]

No, it hasn't. We can dig into the ice going back thousands or millions years and seeing how much CO2 was in the atmosphere at a given time. That's how we know the Permian Extinction was so devastating. An extinction brought about by extremely high temperatures and excessive CO2, methane, and other POLLUTANTS in the atmosphere trapping the sun's rays and warming the planet. Have you never been in a green house before, how do you think the concept works? Why do you think it's so much hotter in a polluted city than the clean air of the country side?

[@kevingrant2082]

Homes: The technology to measure climate change does exist and has existed for awhile. You must be living under a rock in Amish Country.

[@herculeholmes504]

Well, technically you could say that the technology does exist, but it would require _tens of millions_ of climate measurement stations places all across the Globe to take measurements, and they would all have to be individually calibrated to give reliable data.

[@jens6398]

Jeffrey Lord's laughter is painful to watch. And he is obviously not aware of any legitimate arguments for his case. His position is somewhere along "Obama didn't stop climate change, also there is no climate change."

[@freediugh416]

hahah so true.

[@AnEvolvingApe]

No kidding. Republicans have a completely fucked sense of humor.

[@wohdinhel]

Jens Behrendt he laughs like a fucking psychopath

[@herculeholmes504]

+Jens Have you ever considered the possibility that you're stupid? That's pretty much my default position on everything; I assume that I am stupid and so I double-check to make sure that what I think is true is actually true by fact-checking, and checking the credibility of the sources I use. I don't know for sure that man-made global warming isn't a real thing, it could be and I an open to changing my mind. But at present I would bet my balls it _isn't_ because Global warming theory is BULLSHIT. There is no evidence of carbon emissions causing a significant or even detectable difference to Global temperatures.

[@thedon3675]

Hercule Holmes Read some scientific climatic reports done after experiments, unless of course you believe all scientific reports are a "Liberal conspiracy".

[@gregvetter5070]

One of the best "Real Times" and "Over Times" I've seen. Good panel, good discussion and respect all around.

[@thspn1]

Slap that smirk off of Lord's face!

[@ajtronic]

"Cheeto Jesus." 😂😂

[@devonbiehn6249]

Joy is breath of fresh air

[@platypuss619]

+Luis Martinez you are a disgusting human being

[@GingerGingie]

Absolutely! Joy's wit has no match. I love watching/listening to her in panel discussions.

[@PeterTheDeleter]

ur a sheep

[@mimigrace9424]

what an idiot

[@TheDeadlyDan]

I still remember the first Earth Day here in Oregon. We all left class and had a rally on our high school campus complete with demonstrations and speakers and music. One of the speakers talked about burning fossil fuels and how it was changing the environment and how it just wasn't sustainable. He had told us THEN, in 1970, that the earth had about 45 more years of burning oil before serious consequences would begin to be seen. That was based on research the oil companies had published at that time. I distinctly remember that. They can deny all they want, I remember.

[@davidfortier6976]

The theory of Global Warming dates back to the nineteenth century and there's been all the evidence any sane person could ask for by 1980. It isn't new, and it isn't a conspiracy or "just a theory" (anyone who says that doesn't understand the scientific method). I'm both horrified and enraged that it has been so aggressively and successfully suppressed.

[@wimvanmeirvenne9022]

I wish that George Carlin was sitting there.

[@farmerjames7249]

Great show again!! take it to them Bill!! Thanks for standing up and not letting them away with it!!

[@AnCuLacNghiep]

Thank you, very appropriate for posting these clips.Some of us can't afford HBO.

[@alexh1524]

Even if we conceded the Republican argument, their position is nonetheless untenable. For example, every time you get in your car you buckle up. Why? You are probably not going to be involved in an accident, yet you still strap on your seatbelt. When the enormity of a tragic outcome far outweighs the cost of taking a precaution, any sane person takes the risk-averse approach. This is common sense. As applied to the global-warming issue, the small loss in oil profits and economic costs is far outweighed by the following worst case scenarios: 1. 200 feet sea level rise that will essentially depopulate such major cities as New York, Shanghai, and Tokyo because they will all be underwater. 2. 90% loss of the current agricultural land used to feed everyone on earth. 3. Famines, wars, and rampant social instability that will make rape, torture, enslavement, and murder a common practice across the entire earth. 4. Eventual death of 90% of the world's population. The question should no be whether burning fossil fuels is causing global warming. The question should be, "What and how can we try to reverse the current trend, regardless of what is causing it." Now, more than ever we need clear thinking and leaders that value objective truth. Any political leader that values dishonesty and propaganda more than transparency and honesty should be summarily removed from office.

[@nothing2doable]

"The question should no be whether burning fossil fuels is causing global warming. The question should be, "What and how can we try to reverse the current trend, regardless of what is causing it." This sounds good to unthinking people, but actually makes zero sense. The bulk of the current warming is driven by CO2 emissions from the burning of fossil fuels, and without agreeing on that, no precautions could possibly take place. Climate change misinformation is funded by oil interests, as they know the first step in mitigating the crisis is to phase out the use of fossil fuels. The politics of the issue is very much centered right here.

[@Rowleygrowl2012]

Well at least there will be some fun watching the rising sea levels flood Mar-a-lago.

[@TheApothus1]

And then Trump makes off with the insurance money, no wonder he's in such a rush to speed the warming up.

[@davidfortier6976]

@@TheApothus1 Insurance money for floods is usually taxpayer money which is totally congruent with trump's entire career. He's only ever really made money on anything thanks to government subsidy. He's a successful con man and a failed businessman.

[@browsertab]

The Correspondents Dinner has always been a cringe fest. Glad someone is putting an end to it.

[@jackportugal2009]

why does bill have to always invite the wackiest conservatives

[@JasonT404]

I suspect the non wacky ones either are not famous, or are not willing to go on the show

[@senorashish]

Edgar Fernandez, Maybe this is the new normal.

[@senorashish]

JasonT404, actually Bill had one on the show tonight, it was Charlie Sykes. And he got into it with Jeffrey Lord in Overtime.

[@CrusaderLogan]

They're easy pickings for him, if he brought on someone like Ben Shapiro he'd get roasted.

[@Arcexey]

+Edgar Fernandez Especially with how close Maher gets physically and confrontationally I think this is what a politician (repub or dem) gets when they're exposed. It's that moment when you know (including you) that every last person in the room knows you are lying and yet you keep going through the missions knowing noone is buying it. And they know you know, and you know they know.

[@lindanihuiginn6741]

Consensus is a political word, not a scientific word!! We’re all screwed!

[@albinaugustin6904]

I can barely listen to 80 year old Jimmy Neutron on CNN now I gotta listen to his garbage on real time

[@MrElionor]

gotta listen? Who's forcing you?

[@albinaugustin6904]

MrElionor when I say I gotta listen I mean I'm interested in what the other panelists have to say but I have to sit through Jeffrey's logical fallacies

[@westcoastkidd17]

Bill was on fire in this one!!!

[@bballercheetahfan3]

Bernie would have won.

[@homeofthemad3044]

If he hadn't lost the vote to Hillary. People thought for some reason all the democrats would vote for him, sorry, America isn't that smart.

[@browsertab]

The nomination was stolen from him by the DNC with the help of the media. Never forget that. I don't care how loud people scream Russia - we now know how the sausage is really made by the establishment.

[@makdavian3567]

..or America isn't that stupid. Bernie would have made America a mediocre country.

[@easygoer3986]

Hillary and the DNC rigged the primaries, or Bernie would have won.

[@lulu7777ist]

I love Joy Ann Reed, she is one smart cookie...

[@CatskillsGrrl]

Yeah, I can't stand Jeffrey Lord. That vacant smile is depressing.

[@billg6166]

Jeffrey Lord, please read "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions," like I had to do in graduate school.

[@yootoob4516]

Joy is intelligent, calls out the crap and needs to sock Jeffrey Lord when he laughs about rising oceans. PLEASE let rising oceans take Mar-A-Lago into the depths when Trump and his family are there.

[@briandunlap3243]

Joy is a homophobic fool that simply screams out "racist" when she gets confused

[@el_piter33]

Just wanna say that Mr. Mouer is a lucky man, Rosa Brooks is amazing!

[@LVE2103]

Not gonna lie.... kinda liked Bill's idea in New Rules. If keeping things respectable isn't a priority anymore, it's time to bring back the two sharp disgraced Dems. Spitzer and Weiner have issues... but compared to the pres, it's lightweight. I like that they're smart. Dems have a lot of smart ppl, though. Hell, Hillary was super smart. Unfortunately, that may not be enough, while there is an active war on being intellectual. I love that Spitzer & Weiner are fighters. Too much give in the Dems these days. Not sure if that'll work going forward.

[@LVE2103]

I seen the doc. It was really good. All I was saying is, if the pres can be in bed with the country we always claimed was a mortal enemy, maybe ppl with past transgressions shouldn't be off the table for the Dems. Seems fair to me.

[@PIMPEDoutPALMER]

Finally Bill nuanced policy. that's really the only reason I ever watched the show in the first place but it had a real phase of just trying to be a spectacle with those altright guests.

[@fourtrees44]

God is not a hypothesis let alone a theory

[@senorashish]

I don't blame Jeffrey Lord for being so willfully ignorant. It's his shtick. It's his bread and butter, his claim to fame and fortune. It's what makes him such a novelty and a unique guest to have on shows like this. Sincere or not, I just hope he knows he will forever be a walking minstrel act and that we are heartily laughing at him.

[@evitasdad]

To be an intelligent and informed person in USA must be absolutely heartbreaking and frustrating right now.....and for the next 4 years.....

[@toddlavigne6441]

sadly there are less and less intelligent Americans as the years go by

[@stza16]

Thank you.

[@johnlarsen6866]

Bill - I'd like to recommend Don Asmussen from the SF Chronicles "Bad Reporter", be a guest on your show. His political cartoon strips have always made me chuckle. Regards, John Larsen

[@sandpapersnail9615]

We deserve everything coming to us, good and bad. The U.S. was never supposed to last this long. The great experiment had a good run but now it's run its natural course and will be crushed by the weight of our own pride and idiocy. I'm curious to see what our country looks like decades from now and whether I'll be smiling out of affection or absurd horror.

[@brianblueskies]

We need more conservatives like Charlie Sykes.

[@coyolgringo]

@ 04:20 Cheeto Jesus.....HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

[@mech5]

Cheeto Jesus. Fucking hilarious.

[@humaniam9367]

It's sad when a guy like Jeffrey Lord, who proves here that he actually has the intelligence to occasionally outwit Bill, does not use that smartness to help make the planet future-proof, but instead chooses to let himself be paid to act like a dumb climate change denier. That's the new cynicism for you. I guess Bill "loves this guy" because he recognizes Lord's intellectual capability. At the same time he is obviously fustrated and disgusted by the guy acting stupid and selling out to the climate denier's money, and apparently play a moron about all other important issues as well.

[@gulpirak]

Lord has a certain comedic wit; I've no doubt genuinely likes that about him. But I'm not sure that means he's comparably intelligent.

[@dpr821]

Right on, Joy Reid! She's 100% right on Social Security. Republicans have hated the program since the very beginning.

[@mstash5]

I'm a Trump supporter who voted for Bernie Sanders in the primary election. What people need to understand is that ultimately, the establishment nominee had to lose this time, and nobody personified the stagnation gripping the political system more than Hillary Clinton.

[@simbamartens7192]

Danny Stash I understand your position but you were mistaken in thinking Trump was even remotely anti-establishment. He's a billionaire why would he fight for workers. He's appointed people from Goldman Sachs and ExxonMobil to his administration and he wants to cut all the regulations that protect people as well as get rid of the overtime rules that benefit the workers he purports to defend. The only good things he did was axe TPP and save those 700 jobs at the air conditioning factory. I get that you wanted to throw a molotov cocktail at the establishment but you would have done better to vote third party or write in Bernie

[@SaharBaghaii]

To add to Simba's point below. Even though I wasn't to excited about any of the third party candidates, if the point was to shake up the political system, a third party candidate getting a sizable portion of the vote would have been a better strategy. The Republicans and Democrats are both stagnant, and showing them they shouldn't be as comfortable as they are, and their job is to represent the people would have been much more effective.

[@simbamartens7192]

***** Last I checked the regulations of the EPA protect people. Weakening the already weak regulatory framework in America will make places like Flint the norm not the exception. Obviously I agree that in most countries there are some unnecessary regulations and others that can be simplified but by appointing someone who wants to destroy the EPA and is bought and paid for by the fossil fuel industry (so much for draining the swamp) he is gutting the EPA and other regulatory agencies. Trump is basically appointing people to each department who don't believe in what that department does and working people like you and I will pay the price, not Trump or Hillary or any of their buddies in the 1%

[@lulu7777ist]

T, damn you are stupid! What regulation did Obama pass that harm our water system?

[@lulu7777ist]

T, President Obama new clean water regulation meant to restore the federal government's authority to limit pollution in the nation's rivers, lakes, streams and wetland. Your statement is un-factual.

[@rickmatsokotere2251]

Jeffrey Lord is awesome...he gives liberals a heart attack 😂

[@holyraider]

i think it was one of the funniest shows(the fun parts, not discussion part) in along time, really good! :) could you put "overtime" in front of the Title in the future? you release multiple videos at the same time and in my sub box you can only see the beginning of the title, so it would be easier to spot the overtime part out.

[@rododendronish]

'repeal the 20th century' awesome woman

[@s871-c1q]

The Paris Accord was really amazing considering geopolitics and international bitterness. It also shows that even the least industrialized governments accept climate change as true, while people with the internet still deny it.
