US TV host and comedian Jimmy Kimmel sent a strongly worded message to former Alaskan Governor and presidential hopeful Sarah Palin – about Climate change.

Kimmel was moved to contact these scientists (and the small child) by Sarah Palin.

The former Governor of Alaska does create movement in people. In this case, Palin had shown her support for a documentary about climate change denial.

Kimmel tried to explain that when 97 percent of scientists agree that climate change is caused by the behavior of real human beings, it’s likely to be true.

He wondered who Palin was to question these scientists.

“I have a feeling maybe Sarah Palin wants global warming,” he said. “It’s cold in Alaska.”

He added: “The idea that she knows more than 97 percent of scientists is offensive.”

Kimmel insists that this isn’t a political issue. It’s not about left or right. It’s about scientists being right.

So, perhaps knowing that his own authority is fairly minimal on this subject, he produced several climate scientists to express their views.

“I’d probably tell you that a meteor was coming and try to sell you a helmet,” says paleontologist and isotope geochemist Aradhna Tripati.

A small child added his feelings: “You motherf***ers better not f*** this up.”

Kimmel isn’t the only comedian who’s tried to explain that climate change is real. John Oliver spent a few minutes on the subject too.

But some people will believe what they choose to believe.

For them, Kimmel has only good wishes: “If at the end you disagree [with the scientists], while we’re all under water I hope you’ll be the last one who gets a snorkel.”

Last night Kimmel read out aggressive and poorly worded Facebook updates from his viewers who felt he wasn’t qualified to tell them Climate Change is happening. Some of them were harsh, but he turned it around saying if these social media updates reflect humans then maybe climate change wiping us all out is actually worth it.
