In this satirical video, Stephen Colbert makes fun of the GOP for their short sighted and ignorant views on climate change. Although the cause of climate change is being debated, whether it is caused by man or forces of nature, the rapid warming of the globe is a fact. The GOP's denial of this environmental crisis detrimental of the nation's environmental policy and extremely counter productive. Stephen Colbert uses much irony and satire to make fun of the Republican's point of view by discussing multiple perspectives, and including videos from several sources, for example the Fox news program, Fox With Friends. Stephen Colbert's intelligent and witty humor convince people to join his side and battle the GOP on their ignorant outdated point of view. Even today, many Republicans still believe that Climate Change is a lie made by the government, and others believe that the Earth is actually becoming colder. Nonetheless Global Warming is a real issue, and Stephen Colbert understands this by satirizing the ignorant GOP member's. Even if Global warming was a lie, which is unlikely, what is wrong with cleaning the world to make it a better place to live? The logic of the GOP makes no sense, and they have to change their point of view, as subtly suggested by Colbert's humor.

Cons of vaccinating children include having to go to a place for the process, 100% chance of developing autism, vaccinating children against deadly diseases means they will not suffer them making them into pampered softies, the free lollipops afterwards make unhealthy eating habits, and parents are forced into conforming with research backed actions.

The article emphasizes it satire by placing ridiculous arguments in both the pros and con section. The con section truly shows the ignorance of those who are against the vaccinating their children against extremely dangerous diseases.
