Commenters call it a favorite Daily Show clip and link it as a ready answer to climate-skeptic arguments.
A Daily Show with Jon Stewart segment from 2014 covering the People's Climate March in New York and a House science committee struggling with basic global warming facts. It mixes satire with an argument against climate denial.
“my all time favorite Daily Show clip, Burn Notice” (HN, 2016)
Given recent events[1], one cannot stress the word deep enough. To be honest though, it's not just the republican candidate who thinks that global warming is a non-issue. It's the entire Republican party. Of course, I can't help but referring my all time favorite Daily Show clip, Burn Notice [2]. [1]: [link] [2]: [this video]
All-time favorite Daily Show clip on climate skepticism.
Watch Fox new much? Climate deniers love this argument. Jon Stewart answers your question here: [this video] While looking for the clip I found this gem: [link]
This is not unsubstantiative. It's called reframing the person's point in a new light, and it's valid debating technique, although indeed it often points out stupid parts in the other persons view points. John steward did it all the time in his show. [this video]
Example of reframing technique used by Jon Stewart.
> NIST never saw it coming. How so? The NSA is a spy agency, they are the one institution that you clearly should NOT ask. BTW I love the USA Committee on Science, Space and Technology[1], full of geniuses. [1] [this video]
> The fact that literacy and competency testing were misused in the past is no excuse to allow illiterates and incompetents to determine the course of our civilization. I'm glad we both agree that more money should abundantly be allotted to education budgets, and making higher quality education more accessible — without discrimination — to the masses. I do view the literacy and competency tests as a tool that should be pointing in the other direction: at all elected and non-elected officials; exhibit A, the United States House of Representatives Committee on Science, Space and Technology of 2014 [0] (relevant timestamp: 02:47).

I believe that it worked somewhat fine in Athens (500th century BC): [link] Plus, you can't get much worse than the 2014 Committee for Science, Space and Technology: [this video]
