Sen. Al Franken and David Letterman Made a Six-Part Series on Climate Change with Funny or Die

Sen. Al Franken and David Letterman Made a Six-Part Series on Climate Change with Funny or Die

Can some dry humor light a fire under the public to address climate change? Two giants of comedy, Sen. Al Franken and David Letterman, have teamed up to find out.

"Boiling The Frog" Hopes to Wake Up Voters

Working with National Geographic's Years of Living Dangerously crew, the two created a web-only six-episode series for the comedy site Funny or Die, titled "Boiling the Frog."

The series mostly involves the two of them trading deadpan observations while discussing the political and environmental challenges of climate change.

Can David Letterman's Beard Capture Carbon?

In one episode a staffer for Franken takes a sample of Letterman's enormous beard, which Franken claims is a "carbon sink," so we can "see how many acres of rainforest your beard is the equivalent of."

In another, Franken busts Letterman for making up a name for a certain type of coal. "How often did you do that on your show?" queries Franken. Letterman jokingly admits, "Toward the end, every day."

Franken talks of the near universal consensus of climate scientists, so "anyone who's saying this ain't real is talking through his butt." "Wow," responds Letterman drolly, "I'd pay to see that."

Franken has the last word, "That in itself does cause come pollution."
