It's often a losing battle, but sometimes printing out actual data from not a “right wing” site helps...

Note that their first response will to associate your data with Fox News/Koch brothers/Big Business - check your source first...:^)
Something like that happened...
I asked how many sources she needed to be convinced that the polar caps were growing, and the response was “one good one” (meaning something left wing).

Basically, global warming is a “given”, and all data must be interpreted as supporting that given.
