The information in the chart is great, the presentation – not so much. If we continuously treat people who don’t believe climate change is real (for one reason or another) as the foil, then we’ll lose them before we can even begin to make an argument. As frustrating as it can be sometimes, you need to meet them where there are at and hopefully, through a level-headed, non-condescending presentation of the facts, begin to show them that the phenomenon of climate change is something you do or don’t “believe in” anymore than the phenomenon of gravity is – they just are.
