Warming is a huge plot, and only the skeptical few know the Truth.
I'm on "Next Door" to keep track of what's going on locally. Of course, it's infested with rightwingnutjobs. I usually just ignore them.... too busy to bother...but one rant about how warming is a hoax caught my attention, and I started thinking that HERE is our real problem. Stupidity alone is not a complete explanation. Science denial added to paranoia may kill us yet. Climate change...or the next pandemic... and we are toast.
Me: "You are claiming that the world's climate scientists are all in on some deep, dark plot, is that right? But only you chosen handful know the truth.. is that right?

Him: "Yes."
Me: Have you watched the film "Don't Look Up"?
