From the January 13, 2020 edition of Fox News' The Five:
GREG GUTFELD (CO-HOST): I hate people and I am pro-environment, so I -- but they have two major problems, these climate activists have to deal with. They don't tell the truth and then the media refuses to fact-check them. Instead, the media goes around chasing memes instead of actually fact-checking. If a meme upsets you more than the mayhem in Australia, you've got a problem.
Right now you can look at Australia, you can hear people on Twitter say, blaming it on climate change, while they arrest hundreds for arson, okay?
You think the arson story would be the lead story when it comes to climate change, it's not because then you can't blame it on climate skeptics. You should be questioning why there are so many arsonists. It's because it's due to spectacle, it's just like mass shootings, it's encouraged because of the news.
