When a climate denier can't use facts, they resort to personal slights.
They don't have anything else save their inflated opinions and egos. 😉

Twitter's great for in-the-now reading, but what about later reference?
#climatetip: SAVE and ORGANIZE those climate change articles for later!
Pushing back against trolls and the science-ignorant is FAR easier when you have just the right reference at hand to share.
Prepared!

#climatetip: Regularly check on WHY you're here on social media.
Is it to get your opinions validated? To argue with others to prove yourself 'Right' each time?
Or is it to educate? To learn FROM others? To make our common world BETTER?
Keep a mirror handy, and use it daily.

#climatetip: Know Your Facts
As trolling goes, these replies from yesterday are pretty mild, but:
It's the subtle misdirections that cause confusion, as I've labeled.
If you're not thoroughly familiar with climate change facts, any one MIGHT trip you up.
Know your facts cold.

IMHO this is about 50% of why climate 'skeptics' are on Twitter:
They're distracting those who are pro-science / active about climate change.

It's a pretty standard for ignorant or lazy deniers: they realize it's going to be Actual Work (and not fun) to spar with you, so they save themselves the effort.

#climatetip: Jon's logic is flawed. He considers it a 'duty' to Protect The World From Ignorant Climate Cultists.
Yet his 'blind trust in experts' doesn't dismiss the consensus on the evidence supporting AGW which is what his logic loops attempt.
He really goes ON about it too.

#climatetip - this is what I mean by spreading doubt (this one's personal):
Trolls screencap what you say & try to turn it against you.
I've had to block numerous hacked accounts run by this same troll farm, who for some reason have it out for me, with bad logic AND grammar. 🤔

#climatetip: Knowing when to let go is important when talking about MMCC.
You don't have to 'win' per se, you just have to parse what's being said.
In Robert's case, he doesn't want to hear that the meme he used isn't factual.
With that, I then knew facts don't matter to him.
