Hey, look. I need you to give me all your money, quit your job, and live your life according to the way I dictate.

Why?

Oh, uh...

the polar bears are dying.

Proof? proof?

Don't be a global warming denier, that's worse than Hitler. Or, worse than denying Hitler. Or something, you should be fired and shot.

Fine, you anti-science zealot, you want proof?

I have a picture of a polar bear on an ice floe. They're dying!!!!

Still not convinced?

How about this, Russia had the hottest October ever!

No, you can't look at my numbers. Really, there's no time to even question the research. You've got to act now. Give me your money, quit your job, and let me tell you in what manner you may make carbon dioxide. Yeah, I know that everything you do creates carbon dioxide and that I could potentially determine every action you take, but think of the planet. and the bears!

Fine, you are worse than Hitler, here's my data.

What? It's not scientific to replace October's data with September? The polar bears are doing fine, they like to swim for miles and dork around on ice floes? So what if I ignore satellite data and rely on thermal data from land stations that are inaccurate? I fix the data to compensate....

So, I guess you want more information before you let me tell you how to do everything?

You really are worse than Hitler.
