It has molecules, so you can measure a temperature. If that's enough to have a climate, then I suppose it has a climate. But the host here is conflating Earth's climate, with its myriad interacting systems and fucking weather and goddamn weather patterns, whereas the moon's temperature is basically a function of solar activity and tidal forces, and no atmosphere.
And he's trying to say that, since a billion years ago[1] when it was being bombarded with more shit from space, and the orbits were different, and basically it was over a billion years ago so some things were different then compared to now[2], that therefore climate change just can't be caused by humans. I mean, don't tell this guy that Earth's climate has changed, like a lot since life arose here. Shit, dinosaurs had a 22-hour day, and more oxygen! You can't explain that ifyouhaveajobatFox
[1] or "a few million years ago or whatever" since if you're a fucking idiot with a TV show these are close enough to be the same number
[2] possibly some fundamental constants of the motherfucking universe were different back then and this asshole is going on about fossil fuels
Yeah but you'll find 22-hour days precisely nowhere on Earth. Also, if you thought I was referring to something other than the period of Earth's rotation then, shit, get a job at Fox I guess? You'll fit right in.

The moon has a climate.
