BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – CNN’s Brian Stelter poo-pooed Richard Branson’s foray into space on Sunday, pondering aloud if it was ethical to launch costly, fuel-guzzling rockets into space amid the “climate crisis.”
“On Friday, in Death Valley, California, it was 130 degrees, the highest temperature ever. Saturday, same thing. Today, it might, again, set a record for the highest temperature on the planet,” Stelter said. “Is it moral, is it ethical to be launching rockets and flying off to space and spending all this money and burning all this fuel in an age of climate crisis? If these billionaires had any real compassion for people, they would give a few hundred million to CNN, so we can stop struggling to meet our payroll. Yet these selfish filthy rich tycoons spend money on space, completely ignoring the financial suckery of this failing network.”
