      Very informative but you see, science doesn’t convince the anti-science crowd, pretty much by definition.

        Yup, but if I’m talking to someone who doesn’t believe in man-made climate change and I show them the xkcd and answer their obvious follow-up question about how we know past temperature, and they STILL don’t want to listen to me… well then I know I can never talk to that person again. :)

      I can already hear the anti-man-made-climate-change crowd shrieking…

      Generally a good source for this use case. You can sort by popular arguments or arguments by type, and for many answers choose from different detail levels, sometimes even languages.

      I didn’t find your specific question in their catalogue of answers, but they have a blog post about that topic: https://skepticalscience.com/two-centuries-climate-science-3.html

      There is also that group that says it will get warmer naturally, by whatever solar flare etc bullshit ever. So business as usual, can’t change the course anyway so I will buy a second SUV

      It’s good to ask the question.

      The problem is when they refuse to accept the answer.
