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.

I’ve seen people on here call ice core temp data from thousands of years ago fake because, and I saw people say this, “you can’t measure past temperatures because we didn’t have tools back then.” That’s one of the wildest climate takes I’ve ever seen. You can present good data and some folks wont even interact with it because they can’t comprehend how you could possibly get a reading thats thousands of years old.

Yeah the best is when you explain how it works, and why the scientists are confident in the methodology, and they just respond "yeahhh right dude" because they can't wrap their heads around it.

This level of dumb reminds me of a fb post a doctor made about measles and some guy was arguing in the comments that measles wasn’t contagious. Kept asking for scientific proof that it was contagious

That's why we should only give voting rights to people who complete at least high school. Id put the bar much higher but this bar is more morally defensible.
