I know the kind. if it rains, that's a sign of climate change. If it DOESN'T rain, well that's a sign of climate change, too, and will lead to a climate change induced drought. Literally ANYTHING that happens or does not happen in the sky they take to be a sign from their climate change god that he is at work.
There is just no way to argue with folks like that, folks who thing ANYTHING and EVERYTHING is a literal sign from their god. That, more than anything else, is what convinced me that the climate change dogma is just another new religion, nothing more.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
