My cousin is in denial that climate change is caused by people, and that it's a really big fucking problem...

>He's convinced it's some sort of conspiracy by the government so that they can tax us.
He's not wrong
Where do you think the money from a carbon tax will be going?
Hint: certainly not towards efforts to slow climate change

K so carbon tax and buy carbon credits works like this: you buy some carbon credits and that funds some organization somewhere in the world that preserves say a section of Amazonian rainforest. They estimate the price of carbon with some pretty complicated shit so yeah.

The levels of greenhouse gasses produced by human industry surely have nothing to do with the rising temperatures and it's all an evil conspiracy by the illegal immigrant green communists to overthrow america. Yes. We know.

Nice Microsoft Excel 98 graph.

It has to be as simple as possible because climate change deniers are often less intelligent that flat earthers. Too stimulating images might lead them to self harm.

> ±0.5°C
golly it's really cookin'.

golly it's really easy to maintain cities when the fucking entire ocean rises by several meters.

Or you know, the calendar is wrong and that would accomdate for different temperatures floating across historic monthly lows and highs.

That couldn't be though. I mean, it's not like DECember is suppose to be the tenth month or anything.

>when the fucking entire ocean rises by several meters.
Still waiting on that btw...
