People like that point at any article with weak data as validation that climate change has no basis. It's better to not give them that opportunity.
They don’t need that opportunity because they’ll just make shit up.
Still, better to use solid data when making arguments.
Facts clearly don’t work.
We’ve known them for over a century and done nothing.
I’d rather see the media using its huge influence over the population to be at least be making them worried about climate change instead of ignoring it.
Again, there are many people that use the "doom and gloom" climate change prophecies that haven't come true yet as an excuse to ignore the problem entirely. Better to be factual and correct.
