I made all the good points a decade ago. I did not realize at the time it was like saying "A man can't become an actual woman", in the level of batshit insanity it produced.
If only somebody had said, after realizing I was skeptical of thier wild claims, "Oh you are climatephobe and a Nazi" way back in 2010, it would have saved so much time.

Now in case you didn't know it yet, which is very probable, I get joy and pleasure out of data. I suspect Randall Munroe does as well.

Munroe couldn't have known of course, because he put that comic up Jnuary 25 2014, way before the complete and absolute shitstorm of record cold had happened. He jumped the gun, in an effort to "control the narrative", or whatever the cool nerd kids call it these days.
I of course,
being the fearless FW fondly regarded as Godzilla, arose and swept through the actual xkcd forum like a radioactive mutant aquatic lizard, because I fear nothing.
It went about like you think it would, with all scientific evidence, logic, reasoning and such disregarded, and a mob demanding censorship!
Of course that entire forum died a long time ago. So nobody gives a single fuck.
However, reading back through the archived discussion, I realize I recognize some names.
Interesting romp through the gilded age
