Sunny Hostin is roasted by The View co-hosts after claiming that the solar eclipse and earthquake are linked to climate change [Video]

Sunny Hostin has been roasted by her co-hosts on The View after she claimed the solar eclipse, New York City’s recent earthquake and the arrival of cicadas are all linked to climate change.

The View co-hosts had a heated debate on Monday as they tried to explain the science behind the total solar eclipse, which saw millions of Americans taking to the streets to view the rare celestial phenomenon.

Hostin, 55, began by asserting that the total solar eclipse, the 4.8-magnitude earthquake that rocked New York City last week, and the imminent arrival of trillions of red-eyed insects are possible signs of climate change.

‘We have a solar eclipse. We have the earthquake,’ Hostin said. ‘All those factors together might lead one to believe that either climate change exists or something significant is happening.’

Co-host Joy Behar countered her claims, saying: ‘Except earthquakes are not at the mercy of climate change. It’s underground. It can’t.’
