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

I'm sorry that someone who spent as much time and money as you did learning things to help us dumb humans has to deal with the extremely dumb humans who I can only assume are like Highlander but instead of The Power you get The Dumb ๐
