(321 posts)6. How I'd try to convince a Global Warming denier
Mr Denier: I don't believe in Global Warming, it's a bunch of BS!
Me: Do you get your weather forecast from the local news meteorologist?
Mr Denier: Yeah, what's that got to do with it?
Me: ...and they're fairly accurate, right?
Mr Denier: Yep, mostly.
Me: Well, like Global Warming, weather forecasts are based on computer weather models.
Mr Denier: Oh...yeah, I knew that.
Me: So, if you heed the local weather forecast, why not believe in Global Warming?
Mr Denier: Hmm. good point.
Lol, probably wishful thinking; probably wouldn't be this easy.
