so you can properly "debate" climate science with a leftist.
(1) You tell them one climate science fact,

(2) You smack them upside the head with their rolled up Sunday New York Times newspaper. Otherwise, real climate science will not sink in to their closed minds.
In fact, in the history of leftism, no beliefs have ever changed, except when moving further left !
Sometimes a leftist will duck, and you'll miss them.
And then they will counterattack you with their brilliant climate science wisdom: "97% of scientists say you are a climate denier, and AOC says we only have 12 years left"
