The hosts of ABC’s The View praised former vice president Joe Biden for promising to cure cancer if he’s elected in 2020, but they expressed worry that global warming could stop him.
Co-host Meghan McCain, whose father Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.) passed away from brain cancer last year, said cancer research should be central to candidates’ platforms.
After the audience applauded, co-host Joy Behar said they shouldn’t be too enthusiastic about the prospect of ending cancer because global warming makes it “much more difficult.”
“To that statement, I would say that curing cancer is going to be much more difficult when there’s so much climate change and pollutants in the environment because a lot of cancer is environmentally caused and this president rolls back anything that will clean the air,” Behar said, without citing any particular policies. “They’re working against each other if they don’t also clean up the emissions.”
McCain hopped back in to clarify that there’s no evidence global warming causes brain cancer.
“They don’t know what causes brain cancer, for whatever it’s worth,” McCain said. Behar conceded that was true.
Concurring with the group’s belief that cancer should be stopped, co-host Whoopi Goldberg said the problem with such initiatives is that people don’t believe they’re possible.
She said Biden should not give up on the dream, comparing his ambition to that of Polish scientist Marie Curie, the only person to win the Nobel Prize in two different scientific fields (physics and chemistry).
“I think of Madame Curie, I think of all the great scientists who said, ‘You know what? I know this sounds crazy, but I’m going for it anyway.’ So you know what, Joe? If you can get us to the point where we eradicate cancer, that would be fantastic. I would love that,” Goldberg said before changing the subject to Pride month.

An average dairy cow is smarter than Joy Behar, and produces something valuable.
From what nut tree did this nut fall from? Its quite plain that these people are stark raving crazy out of their minds losing their marbles we need these nutcases in a padded cell not running loose like this Besides that Ecology Freaks want Humans to go extinct anyway
It’s not that stupid people should shut up or kept from being social. The point is that nobody should put a microphone and a public medium in front of them. Smart people can ignore and/or laugh at their stupidity, but there are so many uninformed idiots who hears this noise and assume that there must be truth in what they say.
Another climate comedian . What is with those goggles ?
AOC is following the Behar guide to damage control state complete BS and when the heat gets to hot after your caught it’s …. oh that was a joke , I’m a comedian .
The only one on there with some credibility is McCain .
So climate change causes tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, droughts, heat waves, extinctions, wars, refuges, and Johny’s bad grade in math. Now it prevents the cure from cancer. If you analyze their thought process, it doesn’t even make sense. They are saying that rolling back Obama’s polices increases pollution such as particulates would cause there to be more cancer cases. Even if this was true, this is very different than curing cancer. The fact is that the air quality in industrial nations has become very good and of course carbon dioxide can not cause cancer.
The most effective thing we can do right now is encourage people to drop high risk factors such as smoking.
To really cure cancer requires a very deep understanding of cell biology. That is why it has been so elusive. This is not a problem that we can solve just by throwing money at it or by making political statements. However, every legitimate line of research should be funded.
