Mine's a tie between a near future and a not so near future sci-fantasy bazinga take:

so-true "Self-driving cars are the key to a post-scarcity future!" (when asked how the fuck that conclusion was drawn, I was told "do the research.")

so-true "Even if climate change is proven to actually be a problem, climate doesn't matter in space. We can have fully sustainable cattle farms in orbit producing as much meat as we need. Elon Musk." (yes, that bazinga fuck actually said "Elon Musk" at the end of that claim like it somehow stamped a seal upon the rest of the take)

XKCD covered this, it turns out any method of bringing enough ice into Earth's gravity well will release more energy than it will ever cool the planet down by. (In fact simply harvesting the energy of slowly lowering it down would lower emissions and planetary heating far more).
