If you've been watching Celebrity Big Brother this time around, you'll probably have noted the fact that the current batch of contestants are fairly unusual for the show: they actually talk to each other, without the need for raised voices or threats. So it was only a matter of time before some serious topics came up for discussion, and in last night's installment of the show these included an exchange between Terry Christian and Coolio on climate change.
Read on after the jump to find out their views...
Christian: When you think it's winter now. When I was a kid it used to be freezing...at this time of year, you know. You'd be layering up to go to school.
Coolio: We're coming to the end of an age, brother.
Christian: No, it's happened too quickly. Not in the space of a hundred years. Since industrialisation, all the scientific evidence says the same thing...
Coolio: We're coming to the end of an age.
Christian: No, there's a big corporate lobby in America who didn't want it to happen and that why they didn't sign the Kyoto agreement because too many people are going to loose too much money.
Coolio: We're coming into a water age, brother. The age of Aquarius.
Christian: Seriously...Scientifically, you pump a load of shit into the atmosphere, you destroy the ozone layer, right, or parts of it...
Coolio: No.
Christian: It only takes a one degree shift in temperature to actually make the whole thing go whaaapp...(motions the world turning upside down with his hands)
Not exactly rocket science, but it certainly makes a change from the usual arguments about toast and racially-motivated jibes!
