Right-Winger’s Idiotic Comments About Climate Change Get Viciously Roasted In Viral Clip

There is no end to Ben Shapiro’s fatuous arguments.

The right-wing troll’s running list of bad takes include the refusal to kill a hypothetical baby Hitler, an undying support for civilian ownership of machine guns, and the staunch rejection of America’s history of slavery as a leading cause of African-American poverty.

Shapiro’s latest self-own has come back to haunt him from the year 2017. In it, the conservative pundit gives a speech arguing that if climate change happens and low-lying coastal areas are flooded, it won’t be a huge deal because those people can just sell their homes and move elsewhere.

A clip of this maybe dumbest-ever Shapiro assertion—complete with commentary from YouTuber hbomberguy— went viral a couple of days ago after The Atlantic writer Hassan Hassan shared it on Twitter.

The notion that there will be no market for property that is literally underneath the ocean seems to have sailed directly over Shapiro’s head.

“Let’s say for the sake of argument that all of the water levels around the world rise by, let’s say, five feet over the next 100 years. Say 10 feet over the next 100 years. And it puts all of the low-lying areas on the coast underwater. Let’s say all of that happens. You think people aren’t just going to sell their homes and move?”

Bomberguy’s video ends with a recreation of *that* scene from The Shining as he screams, “Just one small problem. Sell their houses to who, Ben? F—king Aquaman???”

Folks on Twitter were all too happy to join in on the dunks.

Though a great many others simply dropped in to show their appreciation for Bomberguy’s masterful acting and editing.

Watch the video in its entirety below, and always remember: The internet is forever.
