    Just look at how climate change is being used by politicians and leaders. If you can’t see the absolute fear mongering scam for what it is, I can’t do anything for you. You literally must have wool pulled over your eyes.

    This is an emotional appeal rather than a refutation of the facts. We can observe the increasing concentration of carbon in the atmosphere since we began burning fossil fuels. We know that burning fossil fuels releases carbon into the atmosphere. And right on cue, we have been getting year over year heat records almost every single year for the last two decades.

    But your response is “well the climate has changed in the past due to other things,” and “I don’t like politicians.” Neither of which refute the objectively observable facts of the matter. They are simply thought-terminating cliches.

    Be better. Don’t engage in emotional appeals and thought-terminating cliches. Don’t be anti-intellectual. And definitely don’t be the “I’m the only smart person in the room who can see the truth” guy.
