So here are some things that I know:

• Anyone whose strongest argument is that 14 year old teenage girl
  aspiring actress knows more about science than I do is completely full
  of crap and knows that he's completely full of crap. Furthermore, if
  you ever watched anything but the crazy nutcases on CNN and MSNBC,
  you would know that there are a lot of people "in the know" who don't
  agree with the teenage girl.
  
  
• Anyone who denies the climate change religion is shunned by the
  mainstream media, or is called a racist or misogynist or white
  supremist.
  
  
• There are many scientists and web sites that deny the climate
  change religion. Here's one that presents plenty of evidence that
  climate change claims are wrong:
  
  (https://realclimatescience.com/)
  
  I particularly like the article entitled "Another Wildly Fraudulent
  Data Set From NOAA":
  
  (https://realclimatescience.com/2019/09/a...from-noaa/)
  
  
  
• Even if you assume that climate scientists have always been
  correct about the past, it turns out they've almost always been
  wrong about predicting the future. Here are a couple of sites
  to look at:
  
  (https://cei.org/blog/wrong-again-50-year...redictions)
  
  (http://www.aei.org/publication/18-specta...is-year-3/)
  
  These are subjects that MUST NOT be uttered. It's forbidden to
  mention these things in the mainstream media, and it may even be
  punishable by death by people from the loony left.
  
  
• Climate scientists assume a static, unchanging world, with one and
  only one thing changing in the next century, carbon emissions.
  Climate scientists run scared when you talk about a dynamic world.
  
  
• Particular issue that makes climate scientists run scared: The
  certainty of one or two world wars in this century, plus massive
  regional nuclear and ground wars, killing hundreds of millions or
  billions of people when combined with disease, famine and suicide.
  The population reduction will substantially reduce carbon emissions.
  
  
• Another issue that makes climate scientists run scared: The
  Singularity, nanotechnology, biotechnology, and other technological
  advances that drive so-called scientists crazy.
  
  
• Another issue that makes climate scientists run scared: Showing
  how their predictions have been consistently disastrously wrong, which
  means that it's the climate activists are the true "climate
  deniers."

And so, I do believe that I know more about science that the 14 year
old teenage girl aspiring actress. However, I doubt very much that
you do.
