My dad is 74 and is a climate change denier, it’s maddening. He says he doesn’t deny that it’s happening, but doesn’t think that industrialization and cars are the reason, but it’s a cycle the planet goes through every few thousand years 🤦♂️ He cites The Ice Age as proof of these long-term climate shifts and says we don’t have climate records from anything beyond like 150 or so years ago so it’s all conjecture.
The fucked thing is he is half right. The earth DOES have cycles, and we are currently in an inter glacial period.
The thing is that we’ve royally fucked those warming and cooling cycles. The earth isn’t going to cool back down due to runaway greenhouse effects from all that extra carbon coming from cars, industrial complexes and general pollution. That’s really a simplified version but makes the point I think. Maybe someone more educated on the topic can further explain though.
I REALLY it hate when conman convince parts of the population with half truths that sound convincing because they read two lines on a Wikipedia page.

Haha yep, he keeps clinging to that.
