Fox News’ The Story tonight got heated during a discussion on climate change, calls for cutting down on meat consumption, and 16-year-old activist Greta Thunberg, who spoke at the U.N. climate summit today.

Harris Faulkner — filling in for Martha MacCallum — brought up a piece from the Bloomberg editorial board titled “Give Up Meat (for a Day, at Least).”

The Daily Wire’s Michael Knowles brought up a study on the impact of meatless diets, saying, “They increase emissions, the increased energy use, water use, but none of that matters because the climate hysteria movement is not about science. If it were about science, it would be led by scientists rather than by politicians and a mentally ill Swedish child who is being exploited her parents and by the international left.”

Democrat Chris Hahn audibly remarked “how dare you” as Knowles continued and said this is a “political movement and a religious movement” on the left.

1. Knowles is a liar and just ignorant

This is NOT political or religious for me. DO NOT tell me I am dogmatic in my personal beliefs on climate change, that I have some sort of "hidden agenda". Fuck you, you don't know me. And you DONT know Greta.

Can these fucking ghouls disagree with a passionate, intelligent, articulate young female without trashing her? Can THEY actually debate the issues on science? And NOT bash her as a pawn of her parents, brainwashed or "mentally ill"?

I am having a hard time believing I live in a nation with these ingrates.
