Want to see what too much Glenn Beck can do?

I regularly spar with this ditwit on the Fidonet, he's a Glenn Beck groupie.

Here's his latest rant.
(I'm "RS&quot


RS> Climate change is a fact, and theory.

Climate change does happen, the planet has gone through many cycles of
warm and cold periods DESPITE man.

The idea that man has caused climate change is bunk.

RS> Just like evolution.

No, evolution is still just a theory. There are too many questions that
evolution either ignores out of hand or just cannot answer.

RS> Just like gravity.

Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!

Asking for specific instances of pretty much any lying Talking Point that the Corporate Tools parrot is guaranteed to get a response of "Go fuck yourself".

Possible response:

Yes, the planet goes through periods of warming without man. These occur when the amount of carbon in the atmosphere increases through things like volcanic activity.

We know the planet warms when more carbon is in the atmosphere.

We know that humans are putting more carbon in the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels.

Therefore we know that humans are causing the heating of the planet.
