uspol, climatepol, shenanigans
I have tried to cut down on bragging about my social media hijinx, but I was particularly proud of this one.
Some climate denialist had smarted off to a critic with a line like "why don't YOU PEOPLE ever cite your sources?"
So I looked up the chart he was using as his source, tracked it down to another denialist blog, found out it was a Denialist Factoid Du Jour, and found a climatology blog that explained the whole thing was based on a minor difference of definition and proved NOTHING.
And I replied to him with the corrected chart and its sources, on a thread with 50 people watching it.
I feel like I just gave the bastard a pile driver. It felt so good.
