I box in my right wing brother on Global Warming [View all]

[Dirty Socialist]

My oldest brother texted me that global climate change has always happened, whether nan has been here or not. He also claimed NASA predicts global COOLING. I looked that up and saw a bunch of artcles saying NASA recorded global cooling 2016-2018. However, after some searching, I found out the earth cooled for ten years because it followed a very strong el Nino in 2015, which shattered all records. I texted that to him, and he texted that he will take my word for it. He then said that man has little to do with it, since climate change happens “all the time”. I then told him I did a 10 page research paper on the subject in 1994. My conclusion at the time was that the climatologists predicted temps rising, and we should wait 10 years or so to see if their prediction would come true, and temps DID rise like they said, so I now believed them. He then said that global warming will not bring about any bad things, so we should not worry. He lives in Charleston, SC. I told him one effect of global warming is rising sea levels, and port cities would be the first ones affected. He then said “man will adapt. Bring it on!”
It seems Rubepublicans are only interested in “owning libs”, facts be damned! And if someone disproves their point, move the goalposts! Win the argument at all costs, facts be damned!
