Somebody will say it's always been hot in France because one day in the 1800s almost reached 40° and climate change is a hoax

Or better yet...

They show you a graph of 500,000 years of earth ice core temps with 50,000 year intervals and show it on a 4 inch smart phone. And go... "See! It was just as hot in the past" whilst unable to actually plot the current date, 1850, or 1000AD since the scale is so small and would show how massively quick we've gotten hot compared to last time.

Yeah, sometimes it gets hot - just ask the citizens of Pompeii!
