Just got the "climate change is a hoax" line from someone

[MissMillie]

Rather than argue, I let it go. No sense in arguing with an idiot--or a Faux News viewer.

1. Well, one thing RW TV & radio taught morons like that is the word "hoax." I'm sure

the nitwits didn't know it before.

2. My best response in similar circumstances

is laughter and an eyeroll. Makes the point, without wasted effort...and it is really funny (or would be if it weren't so dangerous).

3. I like to thank them for finally speaking truth on the subject.

That usually puts them at ease and I can speak to them intelligently.

Then I ask them if they're a meteorologist or scientist or work on computer weather models.

When they say no. I ask them what they do for a living, then respond with disappointment in my voice, "Oh, so you really don't know anything about it then."
