They stopped calling it “Global Warming” for a reason, it was clearly not happening, so they started calling it “Climate Change” which is deliberately vague and undefined. I have half a brain and I DENY CLIMATE CHANGE. It is a political ruse. Saying things like “Nobody with half a brain denies climate change” is playing into their hands. You’ve already lost half of the debate (and perhaps half your brain). Never concede or use the enemies language.
“I believe in climate change — only I call it weather.”
Look, the Left like the devil, lies by telling half truths. It’s never 100% a lie – that’s too easy. If you fall for denying the entire thing they’ve got you. The lie is that it is manmade. Climate change happens all the time. Four seasons, month to month, day to day. If you deny that, they will run you around and around in circles and you will eventually lose because climate change isn’t the lie and is not the point. They want us to argue with them about climate change because there’s PLENTY of proof of climate change. Arguing that point enables the Left to deflect from the real point and simply say that because there’s climate change, we need more government control.
The point is that the Left is either explicitly or implicitly saying that that climate change is manmade. If it’s not manmade then government intervention is stupid and useless. But if it is manmade, then they have an excuse for much greater government coercion in our daily private lives. Call them out on that issue only: climate change is NOT manmade, therefore, there’s no justification for more government control over our lives. Otherwise they’ll be running you around in circles. There’s NO preponderance of evidence climate change is caused by man.
Discern what part of their lie is the falsity. It’s never all false.
