Bill Maher battles republican pundit and Climate Change denier Amy Holmes

Bill Maher: I’m sorry I’m getting too emotional about this issue. I just want to live…. people are just looking for an excuse not to have to worry about this. But that’s just sticking your head in the sand. That’s having a problem with reality…

Amy Holmes:..But I don’t agree that the science is settled. I do think that there is still a raging debate. And when we are talking about the consequence of following this policy being something like trillions of dollars, you know as well as I do that China and India and developing nations are not gonna sign on to this…

Bill Maher: Yeah they did. No, this week they said we are on board with Copenhagen, yeah they did.

Amy Holmes: Copenhagen was a failure for this president because everyone is kicking it down the road.

Bill Maher: You know, you need a time machine to make that argument. That China is the one dragging their feet. That was a good argument three years ago. It’s not true anymore. 

Amy Holmes: I don’t see it happening.

Bill Maher: Well you don’t read.
