Thanks for posting this, I now have a new opinion on climate change :)

Certainly not my intention. The take away I want you to have from this comment isn't climate change but the fact that you should be open to looking at evidence from either side of any subject.

I'm 100% certain the earth isn't flat.

If someone is proposing the earth is flat, you shouldn't call them a moron. You should find out their evidences. Talk to them about their evidences and see if they can change your mind.

You are aware of the westboro baptist church law firm where they say inflammatory things like God hates gays to get people to get angry and then they sue the person and press charges for damages.

Most people would never talk to these people. However https://www.ted.com/talks/megan_phelps_roper_i_grew_up_in_th...

By engaging in conversation you can change people. IF you think you are right about flat earth. Talk to them.
