Bill Maher Calls Out Rick Santorum On Climate Change

Bill Maher thinks all politicians should prioritize climate change.

In an interview with Rick Santorum on Friday night's "Real Time With Bill Maher," the host challenged the Republican presidential candidate about his failure to seriously consider the issue. But Santorum didn't sway from his point of view. 

"There was a survey done of 1,800 scientists and 57 percent said they don't buy off on the idea that CO2 is the knob that's turning the climate," Santorum said. "There's hundreds of reasons the climate's changed."

"Rick," Maher replied. "I don't know what ass you're pulling that out of." (Some 97 percent of scientists agree that human-caused emissions are driving global warming.)

Elsewhere in the episode, Maher criticized the media's Donald Trump coverage, and joked about stock photos of the stock market floor.
