Bill Maher seems to think only climate “deniers,” own beach houses.
Hurricane Irma already left more than 6 million people without power and killed at least 42 in Florida and the Caribbean. But as people anxiously awaited the storm’s Florida landfall, liberal HBO Real Time host Bill Maher could only brag that climate change “deniers all have beach houses” in the line of the storm.
He claimed he wasn’t “gloating” about their potential destruction.
“Trump, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, the Koch brothers all have houses that are gonna be wiped out probably — I’m not gloating,” Maher said on Sept. 9. “It’s just an inconvenient truth,” he added, joking with the name of Al Gore’s alarmist 2006 film (which had plenty of inaccuracies).
It isn’t just climate skeptics who own Florida real estate. Other celebrities also own beach-front property in Florida, including Tiger Woods and Rosie O’Donnell. Bill Gates, who is a major funder of climate change projects through the Gates Foundation, also owns property in Florida.
“Trump has a $28 million compound on the island of San Martens and it looks like it’s going to get completely wiped out. Today he said ‘Darn, that’s where I keep my tax returns,” Maher joked.
Maher’s geography was better than fellow liberal Michael Moore. Maher knew Trump mansion was on an island whereas Moore tried to make President Donald Trump look bad on Twitter by asking “Has he opened up Mar-a-Lago as a shelter yet?”
Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. was quick to point out that since “It’s on an island” and “in a mandatory evacuation zone,” the mansion would make a terrible shelter.
Has he opened up Mar-a-Lago as a shelter yet?

It’s on an island on both the ocean & intercostal and in a mandatory evacuation zone… probably not the best idea, but you know, narrative! https://t.co/Ji5V5lh7ya

“Even though everything the scientists said was going to happen: that the waters were gonna get warmer and this was gonna soup up the storm and that Irma’s the worst storm ever, and Harvey was a 500 to one shot, and they’ve had three of – three years in a row with 500 to one shot — the right-wingers are still, ‘No, we can’t blame climate change,” Maher ranted.
Maher has made inaccurate and offensive climate change claims before. In 2010, he praised Osama bin Laden for saying climate change is “actual fact” and that “industrialized countries” are to blame for global warming.
In 2015, he inaccurately claimed that there was only a single story on global cooling in the 1970s even though there were reports from The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Boston Globe, The New York Times and others, all touting concerns about a coming ice age.
Earlier this year, Maher absurdly claimed that the United States was “gassing” its own people “with CO2” in 2017, comparing it to the way Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons against his own people.

Just how long can a man live without a brain? Bill Maher lost his brain long long ago and he proves it by opening his piehole and saying something realy realy stupid
Will all those who think Bill Maher is smart,
Please stand up.
You can sit down, Bill
We weren’t going to count you anyway.
Calling Maher an @$$hole is an insult to @$$holes. Bitter and arrogant make as bad combination, but it is emblematic of the current liberal condition.
Crikey even the Guardian did a better job than this guy https://twitter.com/Logisticsau/status/907389398018269184
Why dont this blabbering nit-wit do us all a real favor and go hide under a rock with the rest of the icky things after all it takes one to know one
Hmmm….owning a beach house is usually because you have worked hard to buy it….so in real terms, he links right wing people with wealth, so his outburst would just be typical same old left wing jealosy?
Hey Bill…..Those who can – do…….
