Dear climate change denialists
The universe, let alone the Earth, does not give a shit about your opinion. It does not give a shit about the fact that you are unable to grasp the concepts necessary. It does not give a shit that you don't like the idea. Climate change exists despite your utter failure to get it.

Also, you bloke-down-the-pub gobshites (yes Jeremy Clarkson I'm looking at you). Science is a fantastic, complex, wonderful business. Some great minds work on this field day in and day out. Therefore, whenever you think that you've disproved climate change by saying something like "Global warming doesn't exist, because it's snowing" or that you've proved that electric cars can't be more efficient than petrol cars by saying something like "All the nickel in those batteries has to come all the way from a mine in Canada", think again.

This may come as a massive surprise to you, but someone much cleverer than you has already thought of that and rather than just trusting that their gut feeling is the be all and end all they've actually gone away and done some maths and some real science to answer these questions. And once we look at these answers, guess what we find: you're still fucking wrong!
