    Comedy: 2020 Election Results On Hysterically Long Flight

    Lauren Taylor Late Show : Climeconomy Comedy This episode, which was produced over the course of the 20 day election results process, focuses on capturing a moment in time during one of the most stressful elections in our history. In order to make progress on climate change, it is imperative that Trump not have won the election. This sketch comedy aims to cover the high stakes emotion of the experience and was done to create a reminder that we never forget how fragile our democracy is. Half the country remains divided and this fundamentally has to shift in order for us to tackle the biggest existential threat we will face in our lifetimes.  The primary skit in the episode is the plane flight, but the main concept of the show and the goals of this entire podcast is best exemplified by the beat poem presented at a smoky jazz club in the beginning of the episode.  The Beat Poem by Lauren Taylor  Title: Why Climate Doesn't Have To Make Us Die We cover climate change and comedy When change is an anomaly We seek to find solutions from trickle down economy Innovation can you save us from this  existential threat We don’t need to have a planet So hot it makes us sweat You see Climonomics is our solution Not just to reuse waste and curb pollution But to baseline capitalistic means of distribution So that all climate impacts are equal for every woman and every man So that all may have access to living wage jobs And the means to implement an evacuation plan Climate change will cost us billions From storm aftermath to infrastructure devastation And we’re exhausted by McConnell’s block of all our legistlation For decades they’ve used the term socialism back on us as a tool To block our agenda to make the climate cool We need new terminology to fight with a cohesive plan Instead of letting them win using words they don’t even understand So let me spell it out, it’s plain and super clean Climacapitalism is a solution we can use To make this planet green It’s based on market freedom, that republicans can back but adds a baseline living standard that can strengthen us against climate change attack Climajobs can be the solution to raise our status quo A solution to dying industries it’s time to let them go But democrats truly need to focus incentives to bring jobs to these towns It can’t be all talk as their cities burn down We must put pressure on our businesses to make it here at home To make products biodegradable instead of plastic and of foam We need to convince  farmers to go regenerative with their land This can put C02  biosequestration IS THE PLAN We have so many solutions already at our hand The only thing we are missing is the implementation of  unified plan It can’t have a name that is already a loaded gun If we don’t change our course they have already won We need to spread the gospel of the green new deal But it needs a new name that doesn’t make republicans squeal It needs to be built on words holding far less contention Like a stronger new American Jobs Plan where the words themselves offer infallible invention Let us fight together to make a change in this nation To be a leaders in this world for climate change innovation If you can change one mind with your story that’s the solution It’s how we can start now a Mother Earth revolution The last part of the show covers the three pillars of climate change solutions. Climacapitalism, Climeconomy and Climapreneurism.
