      According to his Wikipedia article he changed his view on climate change a decade ago.

      In 2008, Jillette stated that there is not enough information to make an informed decision on global warming, that his gut told him it was not real, but his mind said that he cannot prove it.[46] As of 2014, he has changed his position and now believes that climate change is occurring

        Both his past and present takes are perfectly reasonable. If you don’t know enough about something, then you don’t know. Simple as that. Much better than being confidently incorrect (or even confidently correct) about it when you don’t actually know the topic.

        Makes me wonder how that even came up.

        Who had the clever idea of asking: “Is climate change real? Let’s ask a magician/actor”.

          I think it’s perfectly reasonable for people to have an opinion on various topics. They may be well informed or horribly misinformed.

          The main issue is whether they can learn enough to either strengthen or weaken their view. And it sounds like Penn has.

      Folks like you who readily attack those that admit they were wrong are part of the problem.
