My housemate is like that, came up with some nonsense about how he saw a video the other day about how there was climate change happen when the Vikings were around or something so it's not as clear cut as people think. And today, with it barely breaking 20 degrees in July, said half jokingly that we need more carbon. The shit summer here this year is fuel for his fire. Complete moron.
Don't even waste your breath convincing idiots like that. They are too uninformed on too many topics to be worth investing the effort in. You've got a good shot at convincing people who are on the fence but culture warriors who rely on Steven Crowder for their talking points aren't going to be convinced by anyone or anything.
Yeah I've given up on him to be honest. Kind of sad, we grew up together and he used to be quite alternative but has been sliding into someone I don't recognise. I can't comprehend it and most of the time I just let him expose what an idiot he's become. Just the other day he said "Trump wasn't that bad, he was the best of a bad bunch". I could hardly believe it... absolutely staggering. But yeah, like you said, it's a lost cause and he will only get worse and lost in his toxic Facebook groups.
