John Oliver - Climate Change lyrics

John Oliver: The Earth, you may know it as that blue thing Bruce Willis is always trying to save. Or from its famous collaboration with Wind and Fire. Or just simply as that place where George Clooney lives. Anyways, the Earth had some genuinely bad news this week. [CNN Clip] A White House report that says global warming affects every part of the US. Obama: This isn't something in the distant future. Climate change is something that is affecting us now. John Oliver: Now. Smart move Obama. That is a key shift in how to talk about climate change. Because we've already proven we cannot be trusted with the future tense. We've been repeatedly asked, don't you want to leave a better Earth for your children? And we've all answered, ah f** em. But incredibly, this latest damning scientific report may still face an uphill climb with some of us. [MSNBC Clip] There was that Gallup poll that came out last month that found that one in four Americans think Climate Change doesn't matter and thinks this issue has been exaggerated. John Oliver: Who gives a sh**? You don't need people's opinions on a fact.
