Wonderful post, thank you. The "exchange with a climate alarmist" sounded like an Abbot and Costello sketch, but unfortunately I too have had such exchanges. Inevitably, I resort to the words of Dr. Marlo Lewis, from testimony before Congress:
If climate change were a global ecological and economic crisis, we would expect to find evidence of declining health and well-being over the past 50 to 70 years. Instead, we find dramatic improvements in global life expectancy, per capita income, food security, crop yields, and various health-related metrics. (each of those "claims" can be well-documented).
Then, I ask "have you any direct evidence that disputes or gives lie to these facts?"
De Smog is dedicated to whining about energy companies promoting the positive aspects of their technologies and God forbid if a marketing company should specialize in developing campaigns for these companies. However, they neglect to recognize the lack of honesty about the very real environmental harms and impacts of the wind, solar, and battery industry. I have used their list as a resource to find the hall of fame of accurate reporting.

That statement usually terminates the argument.
So well said!
