John Oliver is proving to be a master of cramming an entire week’s worth of snark into one half hour. In the most recent Last Week Tonight, he brought on Bill Nye, the one and only Science Guy, to rock a bow tie and highlight the problem with the ongoing debate over the existence of climate change. Namely, that that’s a stupid thing to debate because it’s just fact and anyone who denies it’s happening is an idiot who doesn’t deserve our time.

It’s a great response to this recent video, and all others like it, in which the “debate” over climate change is really a battle of who can talk loudest.
