Okay, climate change is 'fake'. How do you feel about pollution? Is smog good for your children/grandchildren? Would you want them living next to an oil refinery? How about working 8 hours a day on Lower Wacker Drive (for you nonChicagoans, Lower Wacker is an underground road...pretty awful just to drive through)? For the Christianites I'll throw in 'Do you think your God approves of the way we're polluting the air, water, earth?'

They usually shut up at that point.
