What I like to do to bring someone over to my cause is piss them off. Works like a charm.

If your support was contingent on you never being slightly inconvenienced then your support is pretty much worthless.

People are complaining about being inconvenienced by protests... do they think that the effects of climate change won't bring maybe a modicum of inconvenience?

I would say anyone trying to get to the hospital for an emergency was more than slightly inconvenienced.

But it has nothing to do with me being inconvenienced. If a group is known for being assholes, I might think twice before listening to their views.

Don't worry, when we get to the point where we're having to fuck around with geoengineering to head off the worst effects of climate change we may well get a nuclear war on top of climate change.

Climate change is a particularly difficult topic to whatabout because it's gonna make all these other problems worse.

Oh, this is cute. It’s a guy who thinks the only problem is climate change.
