MASTERS MOMENT: The One Where He Asks If the Earth is Even Getting Warmer as Arizonans Experience Historic Drought
 

PHOENIX — Welcome to today’s ‘Masters Moment’ — a daily opportunity to shine light on Blake Masters’ out-of-touch, offensive, and disqualifying beliefs and opinions.

Over the next 77 days, the ‘Masters Moment’ will be your number one source for all things Masters. While he attempts a desperate pivot to hide his “fringe,” “extreme,” and “dangerous” ideas, every day we’ll be releasing the audio and video to prove, in his own words, who Masters really is – and that he’s a risk Arizonans can’t afford.  

Today’s moment, where he wonders if the climate crisis is a bad thing as Arizonans grapple with record heat and water shortages: 

Masters: “OK, you’re concerned about climate change. That makes sense, you know. I mean, we should figure out, like, how much the earth is warming and, you know, are humans causing it? And then what are the tradeoffs? Is that all bad? Is that good in some ways and mostly bad or what does that look like? And then what are the policies we could enact and what are the costs and benefits of those?” (Tales from the Crypt: A Bitcoin Podcast, 8/24/21).
