Just use your own brain and eyeballs.

We're going to need something a bit more robust than that I'm afraid. People who fall for conspiracy after conspiracy are using their own brain and eyeballs. Even schizophrenics use their own brain and eyeballs.

If someone's childhood photos show snow-free Christmases, is that enough for them to declare climate change a hoax?

People need to understand the scientific method better. What a hypothesis is, the importance of falsifiability. There is no truth in the universe, you can't determine what is true and what is false by looking inside yourself, or by trusting your gut. There is no truth. That is the universe we live in.

What I meant was people don’t even have to “believe” that science is a thing and climate change is a possibility or not. It just is.

By remembering back before there was multiple fires and storms per year.

I mean there is no scientific evidence of the existence of any God, it just doesn’t exist, and yet here we are.

I’m not trying to argue seriously here, just pointing out that you sure have a lot of faith in humanity when there is no evidence to show it is a species worth saving
