In a deep red area here. Talked to locals and they say our temperatures have always fluctuated and that this is just a cycle. I explained that the CO2 in the atmosphere has been climbing steadily and it is at the point it was 100,000 years ago, (actually it was 33 MILLION years) - their eyes glaze over.

this doesn't add up, Jesus made the world 4,000 years ago

If it’s a cycle, ask them when the dinosaurs will come back. When they say β€œnot like that,” ask if the continents will come back together. When they say that won’t happen, ask them to confirm that everything is changing, except the climate.
