This one from today exemplifies something I often see, and why I discourage arguing w/ dismissives on social media: it's the dehumanizing anonymity of the internet that allows people to say things like this. They never say this to my face, because then they'd have to acknowledge I'm a fellow human.
Since I had such a large sample (nearly a hundred), I analyzed X comments by category.
47% said climate wasn't changing, I was lying, ignorant, or not really a scientist
15% said I was in it for the $
14% were insults

Anybody with a half decent grasp of physics understand that global warming is happening.
The people who attack you are either a. lying, or b. their understanding of basic physics is zero. Their education failed them.
Anyhoo, hugs from Spain.
