Democrats roll out their climate change plans, and it is a full-scale disaster.

I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

That's right. It is all climate change all the time, because last night was the big CNN-Town

climate change. Now, I know you watched. I know you watched with bated breath. I know you,

like millions of Americans, tuned in to hear Democrats talk about how they're going to take away

your cow and your airplane and your car and how they're going to magically create sources of

energy that emerge from the buttocks of a unicorn. I know that you were into every single moment

of it. But if you weren't, we're going to recap all of it for you. But we begin with the media focusing disproportionately on a specific narrative with regard

to climate change. The narrative is not that there is a solution available because, as we

will see, it turns out the solutions to climate change are extraordinarily difficult.

They require global cooperation that is extremely unlikely to happen.

The fact is that whatever climate change is going to happen is largely baked into the cake

already. There is future climate change that theoretically could be prevented by collective

action, but collective action is incredibly difficult when you have developing countries that are

seeking to better their lives of their citizens, like China or India or Brazil, for example.

But what the media have decided to focus on in the absence of solutions is the problem.

And this is how you know that people aren't serious about solving a problem.

When everybody focuses in on diagnosing the problem and how bad the other guy is,

then this means they don't have a solution. There's a guy I'm friendly with named Adam Grant. He teaches over at University of Pennsylvania at Wharton Business School. And he once said to me that if you want to have a useful conversation, start with the solutions. If you want to have a useless conversation, start with the problems. Naturally, most of our politics starts with the problems. Most of our politics is now about, well, I diagnose this as a problem.

And then I don't have a solution.

But you aren't even diagnosing it properly, and that means you're bad.

Well, politics is not the business of diagnosing problems.
