“The climate is always changing”

After you’ve had 100 people tell you that, you’ll probably change your mind.

Social media has made the problem worse. For some reason, deniers flood the discussion with silly statements like that.

I keep the xkcd cartoon handy for any discussions:

There are people who stand ready to deny that cartoon too, though... :/ I mean, not even common sense insurance talk works on these guys. Here, kitty, kitty, insurance can save you (and me) from the cancer known as end of the world. No? You'd rather that we both die... Great...

No. I completely agree with you. I'm just lamenting about the people I meet, who deny all this, outside logic.
