Australian comedian Jim Jefferies pulls no punches when giving his opinion on the Comedy Central Show. This week it was climate change.
With President Donald Trump pulling
the U.S. out of the Paris Accord, some comedians are trying to make light of
the situation. Australian comedian Jim Jefferies has openly voiced his opinion
on all kinds of subjects in the past including the U.S. gun debate and dubbing
Piers Morgan a “human fecal sample.”
This week the Comedy Central late
night show “The Jim Jefferies Show,” which debuted on Tuesday night, had a huge
Hollywood star on board. Jefferies hasn’t exactly been shy about his opinion of
Donald Trump in the past and his feelings came right to the fore in the last
segment of his show.
Speaking of the Paris Accord, and
the fact Trump has made the U.S. only one of three nations not contributing – along
with Syria (who have other worries) and Venezuela (ditto) – Jefferies went on
to say how the world is still grappling with Trump’s decision.

He said he wanted to address the
issue one more time before he said goodnight. Jefferies then went on to say “To
help us understand climate change and what it means to the world, here’s our
own “Jim Jefferies Show”
weatherman.”
None other than Brad Pitt (recent
star of “War Machine” and former husband of Angelina Jolie) appears in a
terrible suit with a graphic map of the planet on the wall behind him. Every
area of that graphic is showing different levels of red, orange and yellow
colours to indicate global rising temperatures.
Weatherman Pitt stood there, first
indicating one side of the world and saying, “Things are going to be getting
warm in this area here,” then pointed to the other side of the world and said, “and
this area here.”
With a deadpan face, Jefferies then
asked if Pitt had any future predictions, to which Pitt cheerfully responded, “There
is no future.”
It turns out Brad Pitt is a terrible weatherman,
but regrettably his weather forecast might be spot on.
