Brooks incorrectly attributed the founding of the NAACP, the Boys and Girls Club, and major labor unions to the 1890s. The segment deconstructs these claims, providing the actual founding dates to demonstrate a perceived lack of accuracy in mainstream commentary.

The Sierra Club representative was unable to answer basic questions without consulting his lawyers and repeatedly fell back on the "97% consensus" statistic. Cruz argued that the data contradicts the computer models used by "alarmists."

He contrasts this with the "global cooling" scare of the 1970s. The segment notes unusual snowfall in Jerusalem, Damascus, and Istanbul, as well as a record low temperature of -93.2°C recorded in Antarctica.

While the organization claims the "science is settled" on climate change, skeptics point to peer-reviewed journals showing no significant long-term trends in floods or droughts. The discussion suggests that environmental groups use alarmism primarily for fundraising purposes.
