This is either a fantastic parody of what a fantastically stupid person sounds like or a fantastically stupid person sounding fantastically stupid. I am having trouble coming to grips with the fact that we are at such a point in our history that I am unable to tell the difference.
Aaron Desilly (sp?) eats a chilli pepper to show Edmonton city council climate change isn’t a big deal despite “goofballs on the internet gluing their hands to artwork” to protest oil & gas: “The pepper’s heating up a little bit but it’s not a big issue.” #yeg #yegcc #ableg pic.twitter.com/XuQfxTImCm

A man went to fiery lengths to prove his point at an Edmonton city council meeting Monday morning after he ate a chili pepper to show local lawmakers that climate change is not a big issue.
“I kind of wanted to demonstrate that climate change is not a huge issue because I brought a chili pepper and I was going to eat it and show that even though something heats up a little bit, it’s not the end of the world,” the man said at the public hearing, where speakers get up to five minutes to raise concerns on city issues.
According to Ward papastew Coun. Michael Janz, the presenter’s name showed up over the video conference call as “Arun tysily” (Aren’t I silly).“I wanted to demonstrate that because a lot of people say that if Canada was to heat up it would be the end of the world. But South America is way warmer than Canada and people vacation there all the time. So for someone to say that it would be the end of the world for something like that to happen, I think it’s ludicrous.”
