Meet Toronto Sun columnist Lorrie Goldstein, a person online who likes to act as something of a professional asshole on Twitter (aka, most people on the internet), who recently decided he would condescendingly prod "SJW"s about the obvious hoax that is global warming / climate change, with the belief that people who believed in such things (such as 97% of all scientists around the globe) are nothing but blind sheep who have no understanding of what they claim to believe.
Unfortunately for Lorrie, he didn't anticipate getting absolutely smacked down by writer Karen Geier, who calmly explained the science behind climate change in pretty clear and understandable terms that basically anyone could get....except "colossal donut" Lorrie Goldstein, perhaps.
It's pretty incredible - a late-entry for one of the most brutal burns of 2016:
Next time a Social Justice Warrior tells you "science is settled" on global warming, ask them to explain the science. Then watch the fun.

.@sunlorrie Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (methane, carbon dioxide, etc.) let visible light pass through, but absorb infrared light

,@sunlorrie this causes the earth to heat up.
-- Holiday Li'l Tree🌭☃ (@karengeier) December 10, 2016
The warmer atmosphere emits more infrared light, which tends to be re-absorbed

Since the industrial age began around 1750, atmospheric carbon dioxide has increased by 40% and methane has increased by 150%.

such increases cause extra infrared light absorption, further heating Earth above its typical temperature range

(even as energy from the sun stays basically the same).Energy that gets to Earth has an even harder time leaving it

causing Earth's average temperature to increase-- producing global climate change.
.@sunlorrie emissions are measurable. Temperature changes are measurable. The effects are measurable.

.@sunlorrie they lead to the same conclusion. 97% of scientists agree. The standouts have ties to fossil fuel industries.

.@sunlorrie there you go, you colossal donut.

.@sunlorrie but don't take 97% of scientist's word for it, take the people who have been to space's:https://t.co/ovdtoolSGx

.@sunlorrie I mean, I'd tell you to read, but you're the editor of a paper designed for illiterates

WOW. It's worth clicking into the thread to see people reacting to Ms. Geier's unholy owning of Mr. Goldstein, but this pretty much encapsulates it:
