6. MAGA Friend

Back in September I had a conversation with a friend that I have known for over 50 years. His politics were slways conservative but he has become a slave to Fox News and is now a full-on MAGA supporter and climate change denier.
Normally we do not discuss politics but he couldn't keep his mouth shut as this was prior to the 2022 midterms and everyone was calling for a massive red wave so I guess he felt cocky.

Anyhow he went on this rant about how the rise in sea levels was caused by the shifting of the tectonic plates. I said that would cause massive earthquakes as well as global tidal waves. I asked where he got this information from and he told me it was from the Smithsonian Institute.
So I googled leading cause of sea rise and I get NASA and they cited the melting of the polar caps and glaciers as the leading cause. Nothing about tectonic plates was mentioned.

I showed this to my friend and he said that NASA was a political organization and they were biased. These people are lost to us and when thier property is wiped out by the next hurricane they will simply ask the government for a handout so they can rebuild.
