The hard part is a lot of climate change deniers will be creationist
Even creationists can be convinced that climate change is real and the world is a system that operates by rules. But those types aren't usually the maga types nor do they vote Republican.
a young-earth creationist still gets to see everything after "prehistory ends, history begins"
I wanna see the 2023 updated temperatures on this chart
Other than bugging Munroe (the creator), you could take a look at this graph and turn your screen 90 degrees. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrumental_temperature_record#/media/File%3A20200324_Global_average_temperature_-_NASA-GISS_HadCrut_NOAA_Japan_BerkeleyE.svg
Shame is, I don't think charts like this will ever work. Humans live selfishly with short term thinking. A solution to this requires more coordination. It just can't happen.
Damn.
I know. I was really upset at "Last North American Pokemon goes extinct."
So the super simple version is the ice age was only let's say 5 degrees colder on a global average so imagine aiming yourself towards 5 degrees hotter
Another one to give them is amtospheric CO2 over time. I recall one graph in my undergrad where it also had significant anthropological events on it like when the industrial revolution started etc.
This is a really good data viz actually
It is...
.... but dont underestimate these peoples ability to ignore evidence, even when placed before them (so they dont have to find ot themselves)
