On Monday evening, The Natural Resources Defense Council honored Wendy Schmidt, Eric Schmidt and Arianna Huffington at its 13th annual "Forces for Nature" benefit.

At the event, Arianna said, "There's been an explosion of truly medieval thinking, and not just on the fringes."

"Over the last 20 years, the work of the NRDC has become all the more critical. The fight now isn't just against pollution and the polluters, it's against the emergence of a very vocal group of modern flat-earthers who deny that there's any problem at all." Arianna continued, "It's really like a house is on fire, and we don't have to just fight the flames, we also have to fight a very loud group of bystanders who are trying to convince us the house isn't on fire at all, we're just being alarmists."

Host Seth Meyers had a comedic spin on climate change, welcoming everyone "to the 13th, and based on recent weather patterns, possibly final, "Forces for Nature" benefit."

...Upon receiving her award, Arianna thanked the NRDC and went on to challenge members of the media. "In the pursuit of balance, many of the media have forgotten that the highest calling of journalists is to ferret out the truth ... not every story has two sides, and the truth is not often to be found in the middle, actually. Very often it's solidly on one side or the other. The Earth is not flat, for example. Evolution is a fact. And global warming is real."

The event embraced sustainable practices by featuring cruelty-free centerpieces, repurposing the stage backdrop into tote bags, offering a menu that follows the "100 mile diet" philosophy, and avoiding disposable utensils or plastic water bottles.
